A UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland) study published the other day is issuing serious warnings: in Switzerland, people are getting too old. Productvity will fall down. The big bank suggests different strategies to buffer the impact of what they consider to be a major catastrophy – understand, a future not anymore prisonner of the big banking institutions.The age of retirement wil have to be raised, massive numbers from developing countries will have to be imported and most of all, we will have to de-lo-ca-li-se. Let the job be done where people are still paid with stones.
Proud of their blinders, these bankers show that for them, the only possible future is the constant pursuit of economical growth, whatever will be the price to pay for all of mankind.
Nothing new under the sun: : the banking institutions are huge machines built to make money and convey it into the pockets of an elite who already has so much that they don''t know what to do with it except make it work to have more.
These very elites are also machines: they obey blindly to the predator''s logic*, a program that works full time since thousands of years.
In other terms, this planet is trapped into a logoc so old and dominant that it has contaminated our intelligence and paralyzed our capacity of abstraction. It should be obvious to question the underlying bases of a vision of the world that have produced so much misery for so many thousand years and continues to do so. In fact it is not: this is considered as blasphemy...
Or rather, a perceptive anomaly. In the early sixties, the father of anti-psychiatry Ronald Laing wrote:
The range of what we think and do
Is limited by what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to notice
That we fail to notice
There is not much things we can do to change
Until we notice
How failing to notice
Sghapes our thoughts and deeds.
This being said, the financial circles are based on the same perceptive anomalies and demonstrate with brio this incapacity to think outside of the bulb.
Consequently, the bankers are right to be worried, yet not for the reason they think. Simply, an accumulation of sand grains are beginning to disturg the good operation of a machine considered by many as unbreakable.
First, the illusion of eternal growth is always more badly treated by the everyday''s facts: the number of resources is limited on this planet. The Earth regenerative capacity is rapidly reaching its limites, specially when treated like we presently do.
The number of human beings cannot grow indefinitely, in particular when they have as central activity the conquest of the territories of their siblings and the eradication of biologic diversity.
The abbyss between richness and misery cannot augment indefinitely without causing revolutions and insurrections of a scale similar to the inbalances they have provoked.
The liste is endless. This is a global and interactive phenomena: each crisis accentuate all the others. These situations are known events, and as such, they can be studied and forcasted.
Other factors of "disturbance" of the system are much less known, much less easy to forecast. When a system is saturated, it automatically produces anomalies; information alien to the system (from outside the bulb) befin to modify its very nature.
Look for the anomalies: it is in these that lies our survival but also our evolution and our future accomplishment. Look for anmalies in international politics, observe the Ubus kings of the world autosabotaging themlseves thanks to their ignorance and arrogance. Note the desperate rush ahead economy, blindly orchestrating its own collapse. Get interested into the advanced scientific researches. Could some sleeping parts of DNA start to reactivate?
Especially, look for anomalies in your own conscioussness. There are many. Particularly oobserve the signs of erosion of your loyalty towards the dominant belief systems: work, family, nation, earth or celestial authorities. The dominant paradigm cannot seduce us anymore.
.It will not please the UBS statisticians, but the future is not going to be normal, will not fit into an Excel spreadsheet and will not be foreseable.
