Is it time to rethink our political and economic systems?

[mstbooblover]

Considering the number of humans on earth increasing alarmingly, the general political and economical mess worldwide due to short eyed abusive business, useless wars waged for the satisfaction of a few narcissic perverts, is it not highly time to change the way human societies are managed to the benefit of everyone?

Whatever I tried, GAG's AI wanted absolutely to reformulate my original question, which was: "Has not the time come to change the political and economic systems worldwide?"

[Kelly6]

@mstbooblover Yes there is need to change or edit the system, but it's too late.

They now full control of us, that it's impossible to exit that control.

Tech

Financial

Retirement

Economy

[mstbooblover]

For sure such important changes cannot happen in one lifetime, but does that mean it is too late?

[Mamasssaaan]

Should have been done ages ago

[NathanDavis]

what do you mean is it time...

they do this every year and have done it since at least 1999...

everyone gathers to rethink, think, rethink and think some more... lmao

[exitseven]

So what do we do? Maybe exterminate one side orchestra other,

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[mstbooblover]

You're welcome mate, but it's not my choice: GAG's AI is acting again :0/ No offence meant.

[moddy_the_mod]

Yup. We need to move away from corporatism and more towards free market capitalism

[mstbooblover]

Isn't precisely capitalism completely outdated if the idea is to make the world a better place to live? Making money for the mere sake of making money only leads ultimately to wars.

[moddy_the_mod]

The desire to make money is what makes the world a better place to live.

[mstbooblover]

Well, just taking a look at the middle east, do you really believe what you're saying?

[moddy_the_mod]

The Middle East is hampered by their disgusting religion. Look at the United States. Europe before they let Muslims invade.

[mstbooblover]

Religions were meant to bring peace among members of a society, but as always, when one wants to hit a dog, one finds a stick. That's where politics involving manipulation of fanatics enter into action. Concerning the Middle East, the mess there is the result of foreign companies aiming at precisely making as much money as possible. In politics, sadly, only interests are taken into consideration, which, in order to change that, is an element that should lead to awakening consciousness in humanity and its leaders.

[moddy_the_mod]

Lol, ok. And what do you propose?

[mstbooblover]

Fair enough to ask, but I would be a fool to pretend knowing the answer. At least a good place to start with should be general intelligent education, but I'm aware even this to be an illusion to be put into practice at short or medium long term. Alas, a huge worldwide catastrophy will most probably occur first.

[moddy_the_mod]

So then let’s move more towards free markets.

[mstbooblover]

Hmmm... I'm a bit suspicious with what really implies "free markets", and I wonder whether believing in "free markets" is not similar to believing fanatically in one or another religion. No real problem with people of sincere good will, in spite of human mistakes, but imagine free markets in the hands of idiots, manipulators and fanatics.

[moddy_the_mod]

Except that free markets have brought the highest standard of living to the most people in the history of humanity.

[mstbooblover]

Certainly not to the majority as far as I'm aware of, but the real question is the difference between earning an honest living --free markets-- and making as much money as possible at any price: free markets...

[moddy_the_mod]

Sorry. You can’t dispute the facts.

[mstbooblover]

Facts? Well civilizations progressed thanks commercial exchanges, sure, but for exemple, what about huge multinationals only working for power and money, and never for the genuine benefit of plain citizens? The truth is of course never black or white. Imagine every single cell of our body being an individual; they all have a particular function to the benefit of the whole body and all other cells; they work together actually. Humans do in too many cases precisely the contrary.

[moddy_the_mod]

Once again, that's not free market capitalism. That's corporatism.

[mstbooblover]

Indeed, it's corporatism. I'm starting to understand what you mean. Nevertheless, is there any way to avoid trusts, companies, multinationals, cartels, etc. ?

[moddy_the_mod]

Get government out of the regulation business.

[mstbooblover]

Wouldn't getting governments out of regulation business only lead to situations similar to Haiti?

[moddy_the_mod]

quite the opposite. Haiti is what happens when governments are allowed to run amok in business.

[mstbooblover]

It's not realistic. Freedom is something that has to be deserved through education, maturity and well developed consciousness.

Knowing very well the human nature, its gregarian tendencies into the majority leading in particular circumstances to mass psychosis and amok as in Haiti; knowing very well how eager a large percent of the populations is to take advantage of the slightest opportunity, due partially to frustrations, as happens at the moment in France and Belgium, I'm convinced that the kind of liberty you dream of is only possible in communities not larger than a village where nearly everyone takes into account other members of the community, and that's far away from any form of capitalism.

[moddy_the_mod]

No, freedom comes from being born.

[Anonymous]

The robots are already going to solve the problem.

[mstbooblover]

That's precisely what should be avoided considering the creators are human, and thus not devoided of big flaws, tendencies and prejudices. What would be the basic program of such robots? Somewhere is written "God created humans in his own image": imagine humans creating robots in their own image, and take a look at what's happening all over the world...

[Opinion Owner]

God won't be a part of the equation. It will all be money driven and you can't stop it.

[mstbooblover]

Sadly true, the more that money driven societies are the Devil's creation. No devil without a God, and whether we like it or not, God will probably be the worst part of the equation because of idiots, fanatics and people of bad will.
