Witchdoctor dislikes flying. His genes of a monkey are screaming raving sounds 10 km above the ground.. He is not a bird and his body knows it. But that can be consciously controlled by himself . On the other hand, he has no degree of freedom left in an aircraft, of which he does not know if it is properly mantained or the junk parts are replacing the real ones, or if it is mantained at all…
He is helpless and the helplessness turns always into hopelessness. His degrees of freedom are cut, there is no ejection seat with a parachute or a capsule and the aircraft is not a paraglider. Who is in the cockpit, the aircraft king god who decides on your life together with the plane AI? Helpless and hopeless.
Now, WD is not against air travel. If you want to limit the air travel it is easy: just do not issue tickets for weekend hops, issue long stay ones, 3, 4 weeks. You do not have that time at disposal? F..ck your neoliberal boss and system instead.
The Airbus 321 Neo was gliding over the stretch of Atlantic sea. A good machine, a very good improvement over the previous models, even the turbulence was lesser felt than on the old 320 models.
The dark was seeping in and the moonless sky was lighting with the bright stars. The Airbus Neo hit the european continent somewhere in Portugal. It was already dark, the big cyclone and the turbulence which was whirling at Funchal island for weeks was visible moving more north-north west. The sky was clear and slowly the lights of the humans on the ground were popping, popping, popping, getting denser and denser.
The Spanish coast was a huge strip of never ending light. Mega conglomerates were shining inland out to Andromeda.
Then France came and WD has to admit that the light pollution and light energy consumption was less visible, but they were overboard, too.
The Italy north was a shining blizzard.It was all light. Even the motorways were shining. It was a mega disneyland of constant light and not a corner of darkness. Driving more into East was a proof of stupidity of the local idea of what is progress.
How the plants , trees, if any left, or some bird or animal can live it this madness of electric monkey pleasure for shine? Even the crops are alight with this terrible new “saving energy” leds and neons all over the land with this sick white light.. All natural circles of growth, sleep, photosynthesis are gone to drain.
Not to count the circadian circle and the circadian rhythm, everone needs that, including the nature.
All completely destroyed.
Plonkers, that is your definition of your existence on Earth.Blah blah blah, biodiversity in your ass.
All this is happening now, in the middle of energy crisis.
Now, when the energy price have skyrocketed.
Witchdoctor told you, the helplessness always turns into hopelessness.
The perverted monkeys living there must be mad and they will pay the bill of living under the all year round Christmas tree. In money through taxes and impoverishment and in health.
This is the paradigmatic proof of the hopelessness of sustainability, because, it is now or never.
Inflation and Energy
As in this moment the Central Banks are rising interest on debt in the debt driven economy and so making the biggest mistake possible, except for the Fed which has to rise the interest in order to support the Truman doctrine and the war in Ukraine, yet there are simple solutions for the current inflation:
Disband the monopolies and stop subsidizing fossil Corporations or, in turn, take away thier profits.
Give people, communities free solar and wind power, on the basis of public virtual ownership for the accounting sake of building assets in the double bookkeeping public bank credit practice when financing this gifts.
The State will get out of this free gift of no ownership right/ strings attached, except for the virtual ownership, by being even more rich/capitalized than ever.
Since the Inflation is mostly energy push driven, now is the time to turn solar and wind and ditch the sheiks.
Turn into hydrogen with all this money /assets made from virtual ownership.
Ban cars with the weight over 1,5 tonne, for a start… Forbid huge, heavy , mostly german suvs, running on batteries.
Switch off at least half of the lights mentioned above.
Introduce movement sensors for switching off/on the public lights.
Give away thermal solar – simple stuff- for water heating.
Insulate the buildings, same scheme as for the solar.
Work from home and when moving go only for the party, bus, train, taxi, bikes or foot if possible.
Fly for long stays.
Work less, anyway the Ponzi state or private pension scheme in this neoliberal model is worthless.
But, you are hopeless and Witchdoctor is helpless.
How micro eats macro
Lets imagine the Slovenian model of growth and business. For example, there is a factory which employs 700 workers, that is a lot in this imaginary place, for chance called Slovenia. 400 of them come mostly from south, imagine North Macedonia. They work for minimum wage of which a part is even subsidized by the State, so the private owner, not even a slovenian company, gets a sort of tax rebate and bigger profit.
They mentally live in North Macedonia while working in Slovenia. No mingling, they do not learn the language. They think they are transitory people living for a few decades in Slovenia, they feel they are temporary there. Even if they live in Slo for decades.
Strange psychodynamics, conflict, inner and outer, grows out of this.
They send almost all money earned back home. They live on tins and bread, sardine tins and similar, for decade, two, two and a half. The minimum wage earned goes all back to Macedonia north, a place , a state north of Greece.They build there huge homes for the future, when they will go back there. The pensions they pay into a State Slovenia fund will be maybe of a two, three hundred euros after 20 years of bad life in Slo and they dream a back to the roots miracle life in Macedonia north with the almost half finished huge house in some local village.. Impossible to live in Slovenia with such a pension, but, south there in The North Macedonia, it is a living, at least that is what they think and plan.
There are tens, tens of thousand of this workers working in Slovenia, builders. simple jobs…
Now lets go macro.
What the f..k is this growth contribution to Slovenia? This is a classic model Slovenia is having on purpose for decades.
People who never feel at home. Do not want to take roots. Uprooted, hard working, eating bad, bad housing. They will prematurely die , so the meagre pension is.. pouff, gone back into the slovenian Ponzi pension fund.
The money in this case is flowing out of Slovenia and macro economics of this is hopeless. On top, the products made are manly for export. The money paid as taxes is peanuts since this people are on minimum wage, even subsidized by the Sate. The health state insurance tax is low, since the wages are low and so is not enough for the another Ponzi scheme- the crumbled slovenian state health system. The whole production based on this “labor intensive” neoliberal economy is, when one adds all up, a waste of land, resources and a lot of transient people not included into the local community. Money goes out, small change comes in, pension spending goes out, even if it is a negligent purchase power loss ( but they are tens, tens , tens of thousands, so, like a coca cola profit of 1 cent on a bottle sold by billions, it makes a small pile, that is the goal of the slo oligarchy), but the factories export for the macroeconomic farce of a
Balanced budget,a bollocks of the balanced budget, under which gapes a HUGE hole of… nothing. Not to mention the cultural conflict brewing, which turns into a right wing “ racial” issue. Both guilty in this case.
This model, successful they say, leads to poverty of all. Slovcanian people included..
Except for the owners ( and the greedy landlords which rent expensive stinking holes and pack people in), which make a profit by paying the workforce less than it will cost them to make the production automatized. Because this factory is making parts cheaper by hand than by the automatized machines. Even the tax on declared profit is not worth this type of growth…
In fact, it will be much, much better, cheaper on a sustainable macro level to open this factories where the people come from.
OR,…. hmm, hopeless.
So, what is the Plan? There is no plan except to tax more and see what comes out, the slo oligarchy thinks while kicking the can. The outcome is known to any normally clever, but they are all “differently clever” , it is hopeless.
The Airbus Neo has landed and Witchdoctor thought he has got back some degrees of his freedom lost in the plane. He is is now on the ground, living in a plane which…. is not a NEO.
The conclusion: Witchdoctor has to fly more for much longer stays and no turning back for much longer time….
ENERGY AND DEMOGRAPHICS
We know,the history trash started with man power ( man working the acre), than bull power, horse power, water power, Joule power, Watt power, Giga, Tera Power, and so on.
Many say that the energy and growth and demographics go hand in hand and are tightly correlated. More energy, more growth, more people living on the planet.
It seems straight forward as a boundary condition, except for Ethiopia, Haiti or Nigeria and similar, which have and will have an incredible population boom..
Or some minorities living in the West, like Albanians in Slovenia and similar, where the autochtones population are slowly shrinking, regardless of energy and economic growth.
So, suddenly this boundary condition is not true to the extent of the complete proof.
Ethiopia? Starvation for decades happening on and off, Haiti, same, and the population is booming regardless.
Nigeria, more or less same. Overpopulated all, desertified, trees cut, habitat lost,land mismanagement, they boom in populace.
Taking the energy/growth equation into account, we can mend it by;
Spillover effects:
Like medicine, which saves lives but without prevention of proliferating as rabbits,
Imported wheat and cereals from somewhere and no local sustainability..
And the mindblowing human capacity to proliferate on almost nothing, dying quick/young but being able to be replaced and growing in numbers on almost nothing.
Culture- that is the case of Albanians in Slovenia or somebody similar elsewhere.
Education, women and human rights- Knowledge.
So, Energy is not a definite boundary condition at all.
It helps a lot, but is not enough for the equation, especially in a connected world as today.
In fact, we can say that the spillover effects, like today DISTRIBUTION OF medicine, education, imported food are not even a half way to achieve a goal of less population. On the contrary, these HALF MEASURES contribute to even bigger growth of population.
Conclusion: to achieve sustainability, the whole bunch must be concocted as a cocktail of sustainability, education, human women rights , divorce, abortion,abortion pill, a pill, and even more locally available energy/food/jobs to curb the population growth.
And give men a lot of porn and stop them impregnate females for fun and then leaving the family to misery.
Maybe that last is the boundary condition…
Or maybe, stop believing in holy Nonsense and getting crowded because of it.
Debt driven economy and -Energy- Demographics
Yes, it is the economy , stupid. It is debt driven, interest to pay. You need children to work for you, you, the family and the boss needs them. When you can get rid of the debt driven economy, you will see how lees you need to grow to pay the debt, or to put your children to work. You will spend a lot less of food and energy, too.
So, in conclusion, debt driven economy which forces to grow more than it is the interest on debt , which means that in the US you must grow more than 4% of the current interest rate and let see the consequences, hahah), makes the energy consumption growth a must.
Last but not least, everyone wants more and more profit to extract. The circle is closed.
