When profit became a goal of human activity, things turn into complete shit quickly.
All that planned obsolence, processed food, single-use things, finacial services and all that stuff is a product of profit-driven economy and nothing else.
And it is only beginning. It's not hard to imagine how that will develop, and picture is disgusting.
Also, profit-driven economy is a power source for aristocracy/elites and inevitably lead to globalism.
In the not so distant past some enterprises/corporations still valued such thing as reputation, and kind of tried to not make shitty things for the sake of profit. However, with development of advertising into brainwashing, even those who careв about reputation completely turned to profits, and you will not find anyone who try to make nice, reliable, long-lasting things for customers.
It is not a technical problem to make a car that will last forever with rare cheap service today. It will not even be expensive. It will generate an excellent reputation, but not much profits. So, it is impossible today.
I don't see any clear solution to that shit, but profit-driven economy have to be exterminated to prevent disaster in the future.
Funny, but that globalists dream of social credit system could be kind of partial solution, if applied to businesses instead of people, by people. Things reliability, cost of ownership, lifetime and other parameters could be used to score corporations. Corporations with low score could be forced to pay compensation to customers, to effectively cut their profits and so force them to choose other goal, like reputation or whatever else.
All advertising, except neutral and real product parameters should be banned forever. Any attempt to use any subconscious methods in advertising shoud be punished as fraud, criminally with jailtime. Say, car manufacturers shouldn't show a car running through pleasant landscape with something like "this car wil make you look cool" voice in background. There should be mpg, hp, trunk volume, cost of year ownership in terms of service costs and spare parts and other really useful information.
Basically, modern advertising is a pure brainwashing today, thats side-effect of profit-driven economy. If you can brainwash people to buy shit, then there is no any need to make decent things at all.
Really this is a huge conspiracy, that combines nearly all shit we have in our clown world, from fiat money everybody run after as stupid sheep to the globalism and jews. And all that combines into one thing - profit-driven economy.
If we want to do something about any of conspiracies we talk about, then we have to start with profit-driven economy.
Great post CrazyRussian.
Our society is planned with a Fibonacci sequence. In order for us to progress the previous products must be consumed. Just like the Fibonacci sequence, our society only grows or advances by consuming it's products that make it up. Fibonacci is not phi, and although comes close to that ratio is a completely different mathematical concept. Like rabbits reproducing without predators to keep them in check.
I have realized this along time ago when I tried to preserve and share free energy patents. It has nothing to do with human invention but changing the mindset of human greed. Human greed runs this planet and it is heavily promoted as the "successful" avenue for human existence. One for you two for me attitude.
It's a pyramid scheme on the grandest scale. We are tricked into slavery to become subscribers to life itself. In order to live comfortably many services require a monthly subscription to keep us working and therefore enslaved. Want to drive a car? You need monthly gas, car insurance payments. Want heat? Electricity, Gas and fuel are required. Want to communicate on this forum? A cellphone with data or network connection is required. Want a shelter? Well that will be taxed as well. Want to eat food? Well that costs money as well. One could argue that installing solar, using a well for water, hunting and growing your own food cuts a lot of these costs out, however there is still property tax, and one still must pay for internet access.
Planned obsolescence is a major contribution to ensure a prompt deterioration of goods and mechanical devices. How is it that the first light bulb is still illuminating, yet regular light bulbs have X amount of hours?
I 100% agree that there should be checks, balances and audits in place to ensure products like cars last a certain number of years. Gone are the days of appliances being handed down to the next generation. Truly, we are in an age of greed, and the general population prefers the cheap convenience, over pricier harder to source products. Temu is a great example of this. Temu is comparable to dollar store quality products. Amazon, since opening up it's website to individual retailers has also succumbed to the cheaper product push. People want inexpensive / convenient items. This is the very mechanism of life itself being hijacked as life always wants to do something with the least amount of energy spent to achieve it.
If money is energy, than by our very nature we will always work less to earn more. As that is natural law. You can lead moose and deer to a dead fall trap by laying branches of trees to guide them because they travel the easiest path which consumes the least amount of energy.
Humans will always want to work less while making the same income or making more. Similarly, that's why fast food can be addictive because the body is getting complex fats, sugars and proteins without the energy of butchering an animal, preparing the food, cooking the food and doing clean up.
tl;dr
Human Greed is a promoted and encouraged mindset that will be our own undoing.
Thank you for yout reply, I really appreciate it.
Honestly I think that energy could be perfect money. Unlike gold, or other surrogates, it could be directly used by owner for any necessary purpose.
However, to make energy a currency, we need much better (in terms energy density) energy storage than that modern shitty batteries or fuels.
After all, you could measure any goods with amount of energy needed to produce them. And it will be inflation free, sound currency.
I began to thought about energy as a perfect currency, as means of exchange long ago, but it will need huge scientific breakthroughs in the areas that ostracised by official science.
