Systems in Life

Systems are embedded in systems which are embedded in systems. At each level of scale, things have to work properly or the operation does not continue. If a system breaks down at one scale, a stockpile of material gets produced while the problem gets fixed, or sits there stagnant if the problem remains. If the plant doesn't run, the suppliers don't ship the raw materials, because there is nowhere to put them once the receiving yard is filled. There should be a back-up plan, but everything running tight on schedule is, ready to be there just on time is a supremely useful cost cutting measure.

I had to pass comment on Pro-Libertate this morning. Here is the excerpt.

"the system cannot self-correct via fiscal conservatism and social liberalism. Total paradigm shift to show responsibility for oneself or perish seems to be the default state if the system collapses. What would happen in any major city if the trucks couldn't carry in food? Nature tends to have a built in redundancy - the one size fits all single system we have now is ready to burst at the seams.

Ron Paul can do it, with the help of we the people, but where are the heads of the people right now? It certainly is not self-directed, self-organized daily life. There is much religion in science, but not of the spiritual sort. Perhaps science with a spirit, where humans are mentally supported by the system rather than drained by it is a potential future system. Each person who thinks will likely think up their own survival system..."

If you follow Will's site - you understand the injustice that he points howdt. The problem is that we all see it, we all have friends that are there now - yet we feel helpless without our jobs, our pass to the dollars which create the distractions that allow us to run away from our fears. We need to confront them head on - not run away. Change might involve leaving the circumstance, but it does not involve leaving the planet. The economics of the system is shot - we all are in for the bankers ride and the politicians are just bought and paid employees of the banking system. As are the media. If you are mad as hell and won't take it anymore - quit. Build a new system - physically, mentally, socially and economically.

Oh - that can't be done. Sorry, I'll just go away. (Believe that and i have a bridge for sale)
