Explosionism - Compressionism
Explosionism as in the event, the door closing can be translated into a
forest or compressionism, the forest can be compressed into a car tire,
is the car tire, or the event, the door closing can be a mall, or a
book, or a trillion thoughts and the compressionism the letters of a
trillion books can be compressed into a pebble, is the pebble, or a
city can be compressed into a chair , is the chair and so forth and all
of the combinations and so forth and such.

Industry as the construction of functions, the construction of partial functions, but invert the functions and let us the users be the functions for the functions, the cars are the living beings and observers and we are bringing them around and such, but the functions are always partial, always a means for another end which is a means for another end and so forth, the highway is a function for the cars which are a function for the jobs and so forth, but the network of functions can be delimited in any possible way and we can say the car tire and the headlight is a function for the highway and such, and confuse it all and let the partial functions extend in time and space, a trillion years of events across the universe is simply a function for a pebble, for a spark plug in an engine and such, the partial network of functions can extend in space and time and be constructed with so many partial chunks of things, not matter but things as thoughts, words, numbers headlights car tires, bricks and so forth, movies, concepts ,songs, all confused, all mixed up and all being functions or invariants of functions to other invariants, a function to invariant converter, we are the invariant, but we become a function and the number 8 becomes the observer invariant and so forth and such, break all barriers between mental concepts and compartments, mix it up, break away from the past, break through the barriers of logic and meaning, create new circuits in brain type observers, mix the words up, mix the concepts up, be confused, get it all wrong, invent the wildest, make it all go crazy, do it man, first gear its all right, second gear your out of sight third gear hang out tight, groovy man groovy, sock it to me, groovy man.
And then the factory is the end point, the final goal, the final symbol, or maybe the entire history of a factory is just a word in a language of another word and so forth, mix it up, put everything inside everything else, stable functions for partial ends and goals, but what is the partial end of a spark plug an ocean a star and a glass of water ? what function does that have as connected to a slab of steel ? (and all of the other possible combinations delimitations, the numbers are trillions the possibilities are trillions an ocean of functions, invariants, worlds, goals and tasks put upside down, all gone wild and crazy and such) and other partial goals and means and ends, and make them become total goals, no longer partial network of functions, but one monolithic function occupying all space and time and all meanings and so forth, and disconnect functions from use and meaning and make them become new universes and so forth, you get it...

And the same progression of science and technology then passed on to the economy and the industrial revolution created the faith and myth in science, logic, reasoning, on trying to research and figure out things, sociology and economists exist in terms of trying to understand these events and figure them out and use theory, logic and reasoning to overcome problems and such, but it is all in vain, you cannot figure out conflicts, you can't think away conflicts, nay the more the conflicts the more the theories and attempts to figure them out and overcome them but they can never be overcome because the basis of man is conflict, fight, his very existence, definition, operating system is in terms of conflicts and fights and winners and losers and so forth and then the laws of conservation of conflicts is always operating, even if you solve one conflict and fight a new one will pop up somewhere else and such.
The positivism idea, illuminism, the success of science and logic and reasoning and such then made the cultural climate and environment believe in simple laws, linearity, the economy will always grow, we can solve problems if only we think them out hard enough and so, ever more thought and blocks of texts and debates and politics and research and technology but in the end it is all in vain, you cannot linerarize that which is random and undiscoverable, you cannot figure problems out in the end, this plan is doomed and such. What we do have is a conflict to thought converter, a conflict to information converter, ever more conflicts, fights and debates generate ever more information and theories and so forth but bring no result, the project of science and logic and reasoning and illuminism and positivism is now failed now we are all spinning our wheels and running in circles: now the only solutions are forced solutions, shove it down everyone's throat, free salaries, free rents and such.
And this huge amount of information, knowledge, everyone is educated now and such (and of course now they don't want to do high precision labor in manufacturing, well if you needed those people then you should have trained them in such and you should have left them uneducated so that they wouldn't realize that their activity is so puny and such and the same problem is happening in china, too many educated kids don't want to slave labor in factories but the uneducated farmers are willing to since their expectations and cultural level do not make them notice the differences and such: leave them all ignorant then and make them work in factories or put in robots and end of story)
all this fake knowledge lends themselves to so many false and make believe reasons that are hiding a hidden agenda, everyone believing in the myth of logic, and the hidden agendas are hiding a win lose situation like when they want to blame labor laws for low growth in europe and such, a make believe cause to make a very real gain in a win lose situation and such, and the more conflicts and information the more room there is to make up all kinds of theories all kinds of imaginary causes and effects and try to brainwash everyone but in the end really hiding a hidden agenda and such.

Tell me, are you paid to post this stuff? Because you seem to post it over and over, always saying the same things, always ignoring responses, always spamming the same links to the same blog, endlessly.
Short History ?
False, we have an infinite amount of energy, just split the sun and grab all of its energy just like we split the atom and such. And if we split all of the stars we can get even more, we have a glut of energy, natural gas costs a few cents now, we have solar, wind, ethanol, you name it, a never ending list of energies and so forth.
The reason why we can't grow anymore is much more subtle: the entire techno-science adventure of this civilization has been around only 300 years, so there is no way you can establish automatic laws of growth as all the economists imply, heck even simply the high standard of living achieved in the USA, EU and JAPAN has really only been around not more than 80 years, a very short amount of time, way too short to make believe that that is normal, or growth, the entire concept of growth is normal and so forth, there is no possible science of economics that can be built upon such a short time span and such.
What we really have is that all of the novelties are wearing off, they are rubbing off, wear off, now there are too few new sectors (hence the constant chant for more innovation and startups and research hoping to discover new sectors and industries when this is all terminated now, the novelties are finished, now we are left with boredom), and especially people themselves are all old (sick and needing ever more costly health care), bored, have done it all, we live in developed societies made up of old people who don't have the drive (and the young ones have even less drive, are spoiled, have grown up in rich societies taking for granted something that has only been around a few decades, it is not normal to live in rich societies, all of history has been poor and crappy and such, and now they couldn't even adapt to societies getting poorer, they just give up and such) and find themselves in a situation of too few real innovative novelties, markets, inventions, too few incentives to do anything, there are too few possible chances to do things, to work, to put effort into anything when it has all been done and it is all old now with no possibility of making a profit or gain (and then the technological economy is eliminating work by the boatloads by consolidation, mergers, automation, optimizations and such and the technological economy generates free wealth without the need to work and such and most sectors now are dominated by huge monopolies like samsung, intel and wealth is getting concentrated in fewer and fewer hands etc.), such that an economy can kick in again in growth mode.
But we need wild growth forced upon by governments spending, we need wild growth mode by governments printing trillions and hiring billions and building things and such, huge government expenditures, huge government projects and plans forcing growth like China does, shoving growth down society's throat, shoving growth down nature's throat and such (but the governments worldwide are doing the exact opposite firing workers and trying to spend less, what idiots, just print and spend like crazy assholes!), the invisible hand of the market won't do anything anymore, since it all has been done, there is no incentive and profit to gain in any sector anymore, it is all old hat, saturated, old, very little real possibility of new growth, very real few new gains and advantages a company can get by robbing it from someone else, since all of profit is simply robbing money from someone else one way or another, just like Apple robs money from idiots buying their iphones and such.
Everything has been done, now the growth mode that has been the rule from 1950s to maybe up to 2000 and such can't come back unless you force it.
The very fact that this high standard of living is so recent, has been around for only a few decades makes it all an exception, an experiment, all an unknown, it is the farthest thing from the linear laws the economists impose upon it all, it is all an experiment, now the only real growth is coming from poor countries becoming rich, simply repeating and imitating what the USA and JAPAN and the EU did from the 1950s to 2000, they are just imitating and repeating the same growth pattern of increasing consumption and such, and hence they have growth, but that will end soon for them too, it is not a given, it is not automatic unless you force it and the only way to force it is by governments forcing it by huge projects and hiring billions of people and such.
And just look at how many other things have changed from 1900 to today, families have completely changed their structure from when they had many kids to having no kids or only childs (and many couples having problems having kids and such) to such crappy perversions like queer couples adapting kids (kids growing up with only 2 daddies and no mommy, what crap or test tube babies) and so many other things (now couples in JAPAN don't even get married and seldom even have children or at most one and such, huge changes in such a short time compared to a few decades ago), all of the family structures, environments, ways of doing have changed radically in 100 years and such, it is all an experiment, an unknown (with wild new viruses in the air, all kinds of new and wicked chemicals playing tricks on humanity and such, all kinds of cool pollution, as I love pollution, it mixes things up again, I like to mix everything up and experiment like a mad scientist), we don't notice how short the time is, just like 10 years seem a lot to a little child but seem a short time for an 80 year old man, so we have always a distorted view of time and events and what is normal and not normal and such-
But the more conflicts and debates and new situations, the more information will be generated, we will throw an ever more increasing number of thoughts, debates and and ideas and blocks of texts and information to problems, the more they can't be solved, the more we will throw information at them hoping to solve them and such.
And we will have planets, trillions of planets with all kinds of fossils made up of trillions of crystallized thoughts, and events and cars and things, all kinds of things all mixes of things, concepts, ideas events, all broken down and merged into each other, all barriers broke down, all new hybrids, insane and crazy hybrids and such, things impossible to understand and conceive like a thought and a chair and an emotion and a history all mixed up and put into a new thing and such, mixed and all splashing into stars and mixing with other civilizations, aliens, all kinds of new contraptions made up of symbols and electrons and car tires and thoughts and memories and emotions all mixed up all converted one into another and all, we will have the wildest-

And what if the new type of animal needs a trillion years to grow up ? and then maybe it can grow up and grow down ? and what if the new thing takes a 1,000 years to grow up from becoming a little baby to an old man and then it goes backwards from an old man to a little baby again forgetting all or maybe if it grows up and grows down in all kinds of ways and such and then maybe there are other electron people that can grow up and down in a picosecond (and a set of trillion of thing people observers all growing up and down at different frequencies, cross interacting and so forth, total confusion, total mixing of all chemicals and Infomration Sets as wild as possible) and then maybe matter can organize a lot of subsets into one and become a new person (a chair and a car tire and a mountain and a tree is a new person and such or a new society and such, a new history, history doesn't repeat itself) or system or civilization and then decompose into another and so forth, the distinction between infividual and system keeps on changing growning up and down and sideways and this and that and maybe the new alien race finds how to use all the pebbles on the street as a resource, as gold, maybe all the left over chips and circuits of trillions of years of electronic waste becomes the substrate for a new system of chemical reactions creatinng all kinds of civilization - electron people - cyborg - Instant Singularity Atom Bomb Brain Hybrids and so forth, and so and be a little baby, a little cry baby and invent all the craziest things, play make believe, play make believe in your backyard...while mommy cooks...

Industrial Revolution ?
Industrial Revolution ?
So then maybe the real Technological Singularity is exactly this Technological Economy - Society evolving at a relatively high speed compared to Natural Evolution in the sense that it is not confined to only computers and them evolving but by an ensemble of Machines, Societies and People self interacting and evolving: after all a Singularity is simply Matter (and random but logical internal delimitations creating Observer - Universe Sets within) that is self evolving and self interacting with itself at a very high pace (internal self reinforcing runaway "chemical reactions" and such similar to "Natural Evolution" but at a higher speed and with many more Matter types and Matter configurations and possible organizations, nay, "chemical elements" with the elements being chips and people and brains and computers and networks and oil and thoughts and concepts and books and so forth, all kinds of wicked and random and disjoint "chemical elements" types)), Matter playing with itself and constructing all kinds of Interactions, Contraptions, Information Relationships and Transactions within itself, Events, in a sense Matter discovering its own laws of functioning and applying it to itself, a subset of a ball of matter discovering how to manipulate itself, how to delimit and decompose and construct other subsets of matter that interact and create all kinds of events and Experience Sets and so forth.
But then again maybe it really doesn't matter if Matter discovers the laws of its own functioning and such, maybe Matter must simply achieve a state within which it can obtain anything it wants, any sensation, experience set, and universe, no matter how far away and disjoint from what we now know and perceive, by creating a manipulable substrate where it can play with itself to no end, up to no possible limitation, maybe a kind of Virtual Reality Achieved where Matter can decide to create all other kinds of realities and so forth in a never ending recursion of realities, relationships, possibilities, sensations, brain types, sense organs and so forth, ever more surprising and exciting, ever more incredible and impossible and so forth.
So we can see the earth and the civilization ( the civilization being a thin liquid acting as an enzyme, as a reaction amplifier and enabler) upon it simply as a contraption that self manipulates itself and creates all kinds of events and evolutions and paths towards all kinds of singularities and such.
And then again the distinction between fake and natural may be non existent also because everything may be alive, the electron may be a living creature, that reproduce themselves or anything else, the electron is in a stable position because it is interacting with the proton but feels sensations, is a brain itself, or some kind of living contraption and so forth all the way down to infinity, even though we can't feel the sensations the electron is feeling and such.
Just like when the internet crosses forests and towns and information goes from one point to another, it ignores all the stuff in between, the pebble on the ground in that backyard has nothing to do with the information transmitting through that space at that moment and such, and yet maybe we are like that information unaware of the pebble and so forth, all kinds of, all kinds of possibilities and such, and maybe a new kind of information can use all of the stuff that is irrelevant and in between and create new worlds, the transmission line picks up the pebble and picks up a car and a car tire and creates a new chunk of information to transmit to the sun and so forth, incredible, crazy, make believe, be a little baby and such.
Electricity is an enabling technology: from that point on, all kinds of contraptions have been invented and applied by building on top of electricity and in the end the Internet and Computer have been built on top of that: but also the Internet and Computer are a second stage of enabling technology, all kinds of things will be built on top of this new substrate and so forth, everything being built on top of everything else, a first enabling technology, then a second (the Internet) and then a third (maybe blogs and blocks of texts ?) and then other substrates, ever more levels until Matter reaches total freedom to do all it wants, maybe the levels can extend to trillions maybe, make believe and baby is just the third level, who knows how many more are waiting to be executed and discovered and brought to life and such.

Economic Growth Terminated
"Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for most of classical mechanics."
Amongst the circus of concepts, ideas, debates, opinions, conflicts, agendas and so forth that the internet and blogs and this blog gets filled up with, one is greatly overlooked: and namely that the entire concept of Economic Development has been a very short story, a one time quirk, not at all a scientific endeavor such as the discovery of laws and patterns according to repetitive patterns and such.
Most of the entire development of a Technological Economy has been an ongoing work in progress that started not even 150 years ago: mind you 150 years is an extremely short time, almost instantaneously compared to the scale of human history, almost like a "Technological Singularity", a sudden huge change in all procedures, methods, production processes, energy production and use, society organizations and so forth, a huge change in an extremely short time, bar none.
If you want to be picky and want to extend the time span to include the beinning of the Scientific Era and namely Newton (who invented calculus and such) then the time span is from 1650 to 2000 is only 350 years!
350 years is no time at all!
Electricity, Oil, Car Engines and so forth, all came online about the same time, in a few decades, changed everything and the face of the earth in just a few decades of very recent history:
1) "In 1811, John Blenkinsop designed the first successful and practical railway locomotive"
2) "Broadly speaking, electrification was the build out of the electrical generating and distribution systems which occurred in the United States, Britain and other countries from the mid-1880s until around 1940 and is in progress in rural areas in some developing countries. "
3) "1884: British engineer Edward Butler constructed the first petrol (gasoline) internal combustion engine."
4) "The rise in importance of Petroleum was due to the invention of the internal combustion engine, the rise in commercial aviation, and the importance of petroleum to industrial organic chemistry, particularly the synthesis of plastics, fertilizers, solvents, adhesives and pesticides."
5) "Edwin Drake's 1859 well near Titusville, Pennsylvania, is popularly considered the first modern well. "
6) "In 1927, Philo Farnsworth made the world's first working television system with electronic scanning of both the pickup and display devices,[17] which he first demonstrated to the press on 1 September 1928.[17][18]"
7) "A triode is an electronic amplification device having three active electrodes. The term most commonly applies to a vacuum tube (or valve in British English) with three elements: the filament or cathode, the grid, and the plate or anode. The triode vacuum tube was the first electronic amplification device, which propelled the electronics age forward, by enabling amplified radio technology and long-distance telephony. "
8 ) "The first three-element device (mercury-vapor filled with a control grid) was patented on March 4 1906 by the Austrian Robert von Lieben[1][2][3] independent from that, on October 25 1906"
And the list could go on and on starting from 1700 or 1800 and going up to the year 2000.
Just consider 1870 to 1930 and compare that to 1960 to 2010: which era created the most novelties, which era constructed the Modern World ? so obviously we are greatly slowing down in the changes that our technology, science and societies are creating, we probably have peaked in scientific discoveries, technological applications and most of all Economic Development.
This is probably why Economic Growth in the fully developed countries is now so hard to achieve: the USA, EU and JAPAN have finished their growth cycle also because the very growth cycle was a one time quirk, a fluke, just an instant change of so many things all together in such a little amount of time and such. All changes strongly coupled to scientific discoveries and applications, inventions, completely new industries being born out of all of the discoveries and applications, the car industry and energy industry and so forth, a huge number of new industries that came online, hired millions improved the life quality and standards of livings of entire continents and so forth. But it was a one time story, just one huge wave, not destined to continue, hence the story of economic growth is over and done with when a country becomes fully developed. The very evolution and development of a Technological Economy imposes consolidation, optimizations, and so forth, this implies fewer workers needed (productivity increases - consolidation means doing ever more with ever fewer workers and such), automation and so forth.
It is the first time in history that a civilization finds itself in a fully developed and "growth achieved" society, no one has any idea where to go from here (but there is no direction, and no one and no force can really impose any direction, only random forces that will evolve society in any possible random way), no models are available, no clues are available to suggest if there is any direction from here on, the only thing that people keep on noticing and feeling and seeing is the need for less and less work, the concentration of power and wealth in fewer and fewer hands, the constant win lose (it was once win win in the 1960s and such) situations, debates, conflicts and all the economy is imposing on everyone, the debts and all the short circuits, disfunctions, insanities like the US health care system and such or the European Union having a single currency not backed by any single nation and so forths.
This is such a unique, and one time situation that we find ourselves in: how will an economically developed society evolve from here on ? and haven't a clue on how the random, chaotic forces will play out from here on.
But JHK and the greens, environmentalist, the Nature - Tree Hugging thugs want us all to go backwards again, want to go back, want to go in the past are actually still fighting decades old technologies, are so old time and old timers that they are still fighting against Oil and Cars and TVs (but they accept trains, well once even trains were being fought by backwards people): they don't get it that you can't rewind this history, you can't undiscover electricity, you can't put oil back in the ground and forget that it ever existed and so on.
You can only go forward now, and the only way forward is to dump this old fashion Economic Ideology that expects continous economic growth to go on forever all by itself, when there is no reason to expect such a thing, this constant expectation of better and more and progress when nothing is pointing in that direction and especially the invisible hand of the market certainly will not force this or make this progress happen anymore: now progress must be forced, like what China does, huge government spending (you can print money forever it never runs out, it is only a place holder for political decisions forcing growth and progress and development and such) to construct the future, High Speed Trains, Rockets to Space, Atomic Energy Plants, Skyscrapers, Industries of all kinds, Huge increase of Consumerism, the complete saturation and application of all of the technologies we now have and even more, ever more, forced economic growth through huge public - private projects, millions of projects, large scale projects and such: and millions, billions of people receiving a free salary and cheap rents since the economy by itself will never again be able to hire them for useful work, nay the only useful work is the huge projects huge government spendings and private corporations (along with their rightly deserved huge profits, since at least they are constructing something, doing something serialzed and accumulating wealth in the form of infrastructers and such) can shove down nature's throat.
And enough of all of this religion of wanting to protect Nature. And esecially enough of all of this envy towards the rich and this morality crap, "you shall not rob" and such: who cares, people and bosses and politicians will always rob money, and so forth, this morality crap is totally irrelevant, a distraction to what we should all be concentrated on (let them rob all the money they can, who cares, it is totally irrelevant and invisible in the larger scheme of things) and that is huge projects and cheap rents and the governments hiring billions of people to do proudly and bluntly and boldly nothing at all and such. Morality and envy and justice will not make anyone better off, only huge projects and cash will make everyone better off and such, let the private corporations hog up all the profits they can, who cares, what is important is that I can get my free salary and cheap rents and Rockets to Mars and such!

1) "In 1811, John Blenkinsop designed the first successful and practical railway locomotive"
2) "Broadly speaking, electrification was the build out of the electrical generating and distribution systems which occurred in the United States, Britain and other countries from the mid-1880s until around 1940 and is in progress in rural areas in some developing countries. "
3) "1884: British engineer Edward Butler constructed the first petrol (gasoline) internal combustion engine."
4) "The rise in importance of Petroleum was due to the invention of the internal combustion engine, the rise in commercial aviation, and the importance of petroleum to industrial organic chemistry, particularly the synthesis of plastics, fertilizers, solvents, adhesives and pesticides."
5) "Edwin Drake's 1859 well near Titusville, Pennsylvania, is popularly considered the first modern well. "
6) "In 1927, Philo Farnsworth made the world's first working television system with electronic scanning of both the pickup and display devices,[17] which he first demonstrated to the press on 1 September 1928.[17][18]"
7) "A triode is an electronic amplification device having three active electrodes. The term most commonly applies to a vacuum tube (or valve in British English) with three elements: the filament or cathode, the grid, and the plate or anode. The triode vacuum tube was the first electronic amplification device, which propelled the electronics age forward, by enabling amplified radio technology and long-distance telephony. "
8 ) "The first three-element device (mercury-vapor filled with a control grid) was patented on March 4 1906 by the Austrian Robert von Lieben[1][2][3] independent from that, on October 25 1906"
And the list could go on and on starting from 1700 or 1800 and going up to the year 2000.
Just consider 1870 to 1930 and compare that to 1960 to 2010: which era created the most novelties, which era constructed the Modern World ? so obviously we are greatly slowing down in the changes that our technology, science and societies are creating, we probably have peaked in scientific discoveries, technological applications and most of all Economic Development.
This is probably why Economic Growth in the fully developed countries is now so hard to achieve: the USA, EU and JAPAN have finished their growth cycle also because the very growth cycle was a one time quirk, a fluke, just an instant change of so many things all together in such a little amount of time and such. All changes strongly coupled to scientific discoveries and applications, inventions, completely new industries being born out of all of the discoveries and applications, the car industry and energy industry and so forth, a huge number of new industries that came online, hired millions improved the life quality and standards of livings of entire continents and so forth. But it was a one time story, just one huge wave, not destined to continue, hence the story of economic growth is over and done with when a country becomes fully developed. The very evolution and development of a Technological Economy imposes consolidation, optimizations, and so forth, this implies fewer workers needed (productivity increases - consolidation means doing ever more with ever fewer workers and such), automation and so forth.
It is the first time in history that a civilization finds itself in a fully developed and "growth achieved" society, no one has any idea where to go from here (but there is no direction, and no one and no force can really impose any direction, only random forces that will evolve society in any possible random way), no models are available, no clues are available to suggest if there is any direction from here on, the only thing that people keep on noticing and feeling and seeing is the need for less and less work, the concentration of power and wealth in fewer and fewer hands, the constant win lose (it was once win win in the 1960s and such) situations, debates, conflicts and all the economy is imposing on everyone, the debts and all the short circuits, disfunctions, insanities like the US health care system and such or the European Union having a single currency not backed by any single nation and so forths.
This is such a unique, and one time situation that we find ourselves in: how will an economically developed society evolve from here on ? and haven't a clue on how the random, chaotic forces will play out from here on.
But JHK and the greens, environmentalist, the Nature - Tree Hugging thugs want us all to go backwards again, want to go back, want to go in the past are actually still fighting decades old technologies, are so old time and old timers that they are still fighting against Oil and Cars and TVs (but they accept trains, well once even trains were being fought by backwards people): they don't get it that you can't rewind this history, you can't undiscover electricity, you can't put oil back in the ground and forget that it ever existed and so on.
You can only go forward now, and the only way forward is to dump this old fashion Economic Ideology that expects continous economic growth to go on forever all by itself, when there is no reason to expect such a thing, this constant expectation of better and more and progress when nothing is pointing in that direction and especially the invisible hand of the market certainly will not force this or make this progress happen anymore: now progress must be forced, like what China does, huge government spending (you can print money forever it never runs out, it is only a place holder for political decisions forcing growth and progress and development and such) to construct the future, High Speed Trains, Rockets to Space, Atomic Energy Plants, Skyscrapers, Industries of all kinds, Huge increase of Consumerism, the complete saturation and application of all of the technologies we now have and even more, ever more, forced economic growth through huge public - private projects, millions of projects, large scale projects and such: and millions, billions of people receiving a free salary and cheap rents since the economy by itself will never again be able to hire them for useful work, nay the only useful work is the huge projects huge government spendings and private corporations (along with their rightly deserved huge profits, since at least they are constructing something, doing something serialzed and accumulating wealth in the form of infrastructers and such) can shove down nature's throat.
And enough of all of this religion of wanting to protect Nature. And esecially enough of all of this envy towards the rich and this morality crap, "you shall not rob" and such: who cares, people and bosses and politicians will always rob money, and so forth, this morality crap is totally irrelevant, a distraction to what we should all be concentrated on (let them rob all the money they can, who cares, it is totally irrelevant and invisible in the larger scheme of things) and that is huge projects and cheap rents and the governments hiring billions of people to do proudly and bluntly and boldly nothing at all and such. Morality and envy and justice will not make anyone better off, only huge projects and cash will make everyone better off and such, let the private corporations hog up all the profits they can, who cares, what is important is that I can get my free salary and cheap rents and Rockets to Mars and such!
