Easy way how govs could solve the Climate Change Crisis (solution)

• every government can (instead of moving to over crowded cities for jobs)
  • pay rural citizens to stay in the countryside and plant trees where
  • the local governments need to designate areas for tree planting
• on the next climate conference the major CO2 contributors of past and present should be present
• and they need to come up a number:
  • every year we pledge to designate and finance 1000 hectare (10.000.000 square meters) for (diverse) tree planting
    • and pledge to work those forests sustainably & responsibly
  • the mull berry tree shown above is said to handle droughts well (there are for sure other well suited trees as well)
    • while at the same time providing shade for other plants
    • while at the same time providing humans with very delicious fruits

a lot has been said & studied about the very expensive consequences of climate change (yes there is natural climate change, but human made climate change is on top)

need to talk & implement more solutions!

social learning vs systematic stupidity

• In an ideal world, people learn from each other
• each others mistakes each others successes
• in an ideal world a system would foster social learning (the “natural” way how humans learn? by example (hopefully drawing the right conclusions) & from each other))
• a system that incentivises stupidity & mistakes is a stupid system
• (example the car industry knows people buy cars (unfortunately) mostly by emotions (big 2t SUV that make people feel important) and if the parts are designed to break after 3 years (they hope) to make 25% extra) – if the incentive here is maximum profit – the car companies did everything right – even if they in reality created a complete catastrophe for everyone

how the modern fiat money system works - what causes inflation?

first of: “economics” is where “believe” and “science” meet.

Often it is not clear, what parts of economics is “real science” and what is “make believe”.

What is for sure: all “modern” monetary systems are FIAT systems,

this means, some entity (state or bank, usually “independent” bank of banks)

• prints an undefined amount of money (cash)
  • as much as it deems to achieve it’s goals
    • goals could be:
      • 0% unemployment
      • 2% inflation
      • reversal of climate change
      • peace & prosperity for all or just for the top 0.1%
      • what have you
• it loans/lends that cash to private banks
  • the private banks are (supposed) to lend to productive citizens, that actually give the money it’s value, by adding value to society
    • by designing, building, creating, (mass) production of clever, innovative products & services that help people
      • stay alive & healthy - clean water & food - healthcare
      • get to work or to visit someone - transport
      • communicate - phones, computers, wires that connect computers…

So ask yourself: What gives money it’s value?

As it has no intrinsic value (it is not gold and since the 70s the US-$ is (thanks to Nixon and the Vietnam war) not linked to gold anymore).

The German Mark after ww2 was one of the first FIAT systems, economists predicted it will never work.

But it worked, because Germans worked hard for that paper money, even if it can not be converted to Gold or Silver or “guaranteed amount of bushels of grain” or this or that product of scarcity (that in the terms of grain, actually provide some purpose).

So does printing more money cause inflation?

Sure it does.

Ask yourself: What does a bank produce?

Actually a bank produces only one thing: loans.

If it does not produce loans, it’s like a factory with no output (lost it’s purpose).

The question is: If the banks fail at their core task, can the state step in, and lend money to citizens that want to create those innovative products = jobs?

Also What is the best way to battle inflation?

Imho it would be:

• a actually working banking system that actually produces loans into the hands of innovative (entrepreneurship) citizens that want to add value
  • if the state does not want to take over that role, it needs to force banks to do their job properly

second best fix:

• increase the price for money
• aka increase the price for borrowing money (if something costs nothing it’s not worth anything?) aka increase central bank interest rates on that central bank money (Russia currently has 15.90% Inflation and a central bank interest rate of 9.50% (https://tradingeconomics.com/matrix)

Thatcher did that it was not pretty.

Buying and selling stocks or real estate, is not investment, it’s speculation (not adding value to society in any sense).

the extrimst ideologies of egosism - NATO member (Erdogan's) Turkey supporting Islamic Extremism - blocking Sweden & Finnland

The No.1 cancer enemy of society is: corruption.

It is in the West – it is (more obvious) in the East.

In the end this is Western cleptocracy vs Eastern oligarchy (cleoptocracy = oligarchy = when the super rich are in power)

There are very well trained doctors & intellectuals in Turkey (esp in the larger cities), while the countryside’s is still in the middle ages?

Double extremist standards:

While supporting ISIS Erdogan’s Turkey declares anyone that is agains him as a terrorist (sounds familiar? Mr Bush?) and demands (in this case Sweden) to extradite “the top 10” of the opposition abroad.

https://nypost.com/2019/09/21/why-isnt-the-media-covering-turkish-president-erdogans-ties-to-isis/

Whoever allowed Turkey into NATO (EU application failed) & Orban’s Hungary into EU is a good damn moron.

Both are corrupt egoistist that only care about their interest playing everyone like a violin while (of course) never having to stand trial.

simply run a search on Erdogans son

https://www.theportal-center.com/2019/04/erdogans-son-in-laws-corruption-speaks-volumes-about-turkey/

Or a search on Orbans closest political allies and homosexual gang bang drug parties in Brussels.(During corona lockdown!!!)

So: either remove Orban & Erdogan – or remove Orban from EU and Turkey from NATO, doing more harm than good.

Or even better: start something new that does not repeat those mistakes.

the root of all evil - mankind has a culture crisis - better technology, does not mean "better people culture" (ethical, moral, social competence)

do smart phones make mankind smart?

no of course not.

thanks to capitalism, everyone has developed into maximally individual assholes

better technology, does not mean “better people culture” (ethical, moral, social competence)

mankind has a culture crisis

all the other crisis directly stem from this crisis

it’s no fun

everyone could develop as human being

but those most successful in capitalism actually stop developing as human beings because “why change? the banks love me”

everyone can do something, everyone could contribute something to society

but the current system does not value it

it (wrongfully) “values” the evil doers

and there we are, “stuck” with people you won’t want to spend time with and loads of evil & unsolved problems

economist says: family working together is the future - crisis opportunity for change - empower the middle class! now!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Werner_Sinn

It doesn’t happen often, but this time have to give cudos to “a classic” (very conservative, not very revolutionary thinking) economist Hans Werner von Sinn:

• “Take care of yourselves. Don’t believe that the state can do it. The state will be hopelessly overwhelmed with the socio-political tasks. Social security systems are not in a position to continue the development of living standards as we are used to. The sooner everyone realizes this, the more they will take precautions for the later years of life.”
• The economics professor advises young people to not to wait too long for thinking about having kids and to concentrate on traditional family images.
• “Family cohesion (families working WITH instead of AGAINST each other) will become increasingly important in view of the difficulties of the state,” Sinn explained.
• “Some say that the ECB did not cause the price increases, so it does not have to do anything about it. One cannot argue more wrongly, because the mandate does not focus on the causes of inflation, but on the possibilities of combating it,” the ex-ifo boss continued

…. but not to endanger the 0% financed real estate bubble, where banks sell thousands of vacant buildings in Munich in a circle, IMF-ECB-La Guarde (“The Guardian” (of the banks)) does – nothing.

• “And they consist of interest rate hikes.” In addition, the monetary authority is not entirely innocent of the high inflation rate. With its bond-buying program, the ECB is partly responsible for rising prices, as government securities were purchased with fresh central bank money. Low interest rates have thus encouraged indebtedness, according to Sinn.
• The fact that the ECB has not yet heralded the interest rate turnaround, even though the US Federal Reserve raised the key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points in March, also creates an imbalance in international trade. As a result of the ECB’s inaction, the euro has been significantly devalued, which automatically leads to higher import prices – including in the energy sector.

auto translated from: https://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/aktien/pessimistischer-ausblick-ex-ifo-leiter-hans-werner-sinn-prognostiziert-34-laengere-periode-34-wirtschaftlicher-unsicherheit-ezb-in-der-kritik-11282820

family cohesion: it is (sometimes) hard

… unfortunately, nature decided, out of biodiversity reasons (make every individual an individual = very different from his brothers & sisters, in order to ensure that “at least one” will survive, fast changing circumstances (economic crisis, war, famine, climate change, meteoroids… u name it)

So sisters and brothers are by the design of nature – very different – thus having (sometimes) hard times – understanding each other – getting along with each other.

But IF they manage to accept each other – (and if it’s only by living next door, but never speaking to each other X-D) – things might work out.

Capitalism actually increased that acceptance problem, with some 1 to 10% doing very well (often) at the expense of the 90% (who pay their taxes) – WHILE looking down on the 90% as “bummers”.

the downfall of the middle class, is the downfall of families

or in other worlds: who want’s to put kid’s in a fu**ed up (non sustainable = it is going to end) world? (nobody)

Question: Is it any wonder – that in a system – that was not built for man, but for money “around money”, man will soon no longer appear?

Really?

I am not surprised (unfortunately).

So when “the system” – betrayed the middle class – because of lobbyism by the money of the top 10% (that sometimes “think” they are the “middle class”) – it “programmed” society – for the downfall of the middle-class (who to steal from? nothing to steal from the poor?) and the downfall of families.

It’s as simple as that.

And turning back the time – won’t help.

It won’t help driving old gas guzzling cars that need a portion of lead in the gasoline to actually function correctly.

There is only one way: forward. Into a sustainable economy that serves all. The sooner the super-rich realize this – the better. (but they will want to preserve the status quo until the very end (death)… so it’s a uphill battle for everyone else)

• crisis as chance for transformation:
  • central banks have to be put under democratic rule – this way or another – it is inacceptable – that the central banks serve only the private banks.
• globalization is dead – good – so we can start produce locally and FRESH again 🙂 = more jobs, but who is going to finance those jobs? surely not the existing broken system of corrupt banks.

The Economic Reform the World needs

Dear reader,

first, a disclaimer:

• only god & nobody is perfect
• humans are not god
• thus humans make mistakes, but if given the chance, humans can learn and improve to create “a better world”.
  • no man made product or construct or system will ever be perfect, but does that mean, we should have never left the cave in the first place? (no of course not)

The Economic Reform the World needs

Is a simple one, it can be put in one sentence, but to enact it, will require massive reforms:

“Value those, that add true value to society”

Let’s compare two examples:

• case a) a lady cleans a toilet
• case b) bank A sells house X to bank B

Which of the two cases add more value to society?

money wise case b) can create much more profit, but does it add value to society?

Given the fact, that a lot of houses are purposely left empty (not for rent), just to speculate on rising house prices? (a good example of the perversion that capitalism has become, if unchecked, by a smart, fast moving gov)

In this case, case a) does not only add more value to society, it also does not purposefully harm society as case b) does, by denying access to resources, people need to survive.

So pay those well, that ACTUALLY add value to society, and tax those high, that are malicious to society, and you have a nation that automatically creates value – in the true meaning of the word.

plus: go after the (financial) criminals

all those well-known tax heavens, need serious threats of boycott, if they don’t start changing their business model (Cuba style of trade embargoes).

• don’t allow financial crimes of the bast to become time-barred and financial criminals to get away with it
• don’t cut deals with the bank robbers “oh if you pay back 80% of what you stole, it’s okay”
• give the investigators the means they need, to identify the financial criminals

Failing to do so, will seriously damage the trust of the people in democracy.

the philanthropy bullshit: first extract, than give (some) back?

ok some philantrophy is better than no philantropy… but … look at this case:

Harvard’s “concept” of adding value to society:

“I think it’s important to remember where you came from.”

“Giving back is part of my core philosophy,” says Kim Wagner PhD ’94, who has given consistently to the Graduate School Fund for twenty years.”

“She came to the Graduate of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) for a doctorate in pharmacology, intending to go into academia.”

“Instead, she was inspired to take on the world of biopharmaceutical consulting.”

“I felt like an industry position was the best place for me to add value to society,” says Wagner, who spent the next twenty-five years at the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company.”

let me translate that:

• you went to Harvard
• studied hard to get good grades
• to then go on to a company that does lobby work for BigPharma (it is called “consulting”), meaning, trying to influence the law makers to make laws in favor of BigPharma, in order to EXTRACT a profit from society, while (maybe) curing some disease, maybe while causing more other disease (drug A helps against disease A, while having side effect B, drug B helps against side effect B, while causing side effect C an so on…)
• you profit from a corrupt and exploitative system
• then you donate some to whatever entity to feel better

• Here have to quote Bregman (again):

  • ### “the Rich are not paying their fair share” (Youtube)

  ### “how to prevent a broad social backlash – the answer is simple – stop talking about philanthropy and start talking about taxes avoidance – taxes – taxes – all the rest is bullshit” (Youtube)

Dear reader, if you are reading this blog post, and dedicated time and brain-resources (energy) thinking about the value of it’s content – if it makes sense or not – how to improve it – what is missing – you just contributed positively to society as well!

What would contribute even more positively: the information from which, action can be derived from.

believe: if not in God - believe humans can learn & be civilized - Rutger Bregman & the history of mankind - gov laws like software development?: garbage collection for laws?

if not in God, believe that humans can learn

What is the difference between humans and animals?

As Dutch historian Rutger Bregman points out in his book “Humankind – A Hopeful History” genetic wise – not much (really would not mind if the reader skips all the depressing parts of this book… WARNING! THIS BOOK CONTAINS A LOT OF DEPRESSING ASSUMPTIONS, THAT MIGHT EVEN BE WRONG!).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nFI2Zb7qE

Imho humans (should be able) to learn faster than other species.

So these are the two things everyone HAS to believe in:

• humans can learn
• humans can be civilized

With those two believes, come two questions:

• Q1: no civilized rule set ever was perfect, who is in charge for improving it? (hopefully not the incompetent & corrupt?)
• Q2: will humans learn fast enough to escape “the great filters” of evolution, aka prevent disasters from happening, with unrestricted CAPITALISM CLEARLY NOT INCENTIVIZING = PREVENTING LEARNING & super (with exceptions) rich & the banks do not feel responsible for the survival of their own species…?
  • SHOULD the incentives of EVERY system be placed on maximum survivability of the species = maximum sustainability of lifestyles?
  • Would it be UTTER stupidity to NOT do that? (yes)

Bregman & The Neaderthals

Mr Bregman makes COMPLETELY FALSE ASSUMPTIONS, that a bigger brain, would equal to more intelligence.

On average: women have smaller brains, are they less intelligent?

No: ‘”Just like with height, there is a pretty substantial difference between males and females in brain volume, but this doesn’t translate into a difference in cognitive performance,” Nave says.’ (labroots.com)

If that was true, the “sperm wale” (having the biggest brain of all animals), would already have build a swimming pool Mars.

What can not be ruled out, is that the “evilness” of homo sapiens accelerated the extinction of the Neanderthals.

BUT there might also been partnerships between them.

“results of a 2010 project to map the Neanderthal genome showed that 1% to 4% of Middle Eastern and European DNA is Neanderthal DNA” (shortform.com)

“Neanderthals were fairly specialized to hunt large, Ice Age animals.”

“But sometimes being specialized isn’t such a good strategy.”

“When climates changed and some of those animals went extinct, the Neanderthals may have been more vulnerable to starvation.” (si.edu)

Assumption: While homo sapiens (probably) was here and there in conflict with the Neanderthals, imho homo sapiens was not the deciding factor when it comes to extinction of this species.

Same as the mammoth, the neanderthals (probably) fell victim of:

• (too fast) changing climate/environment
• not being able to adapt fast enough

… with ever faster climate change, a dire situation, homo sapiens will have to face too.

But have to say, yes Mr Bregman, homo sapiens “helped” many species to die out. But not all of them.

“The woolly mammoth (M. primigenius) was the last species of the genus.”

“Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia, as well as all the Columbian mammoths (M. columbi) in North America, died out around the time of the last glacial retreat, as part of a mass extinction of megafauna in northern Eurasia and the Americas.” (Wiki)

During the time of the Dinosaurs, there were no homo sapiens (so this time can’t blame them)

Dinosaurs had no capitalism and clearly did not a good job at

1. early detecting asteroids
2. early redirecting (pushing away) asteroids

Mankind could do better, but will it do it?

Because what is for sure: if mankind sees a crisis coming, and does nothing, everyone can see that chances of survival for mankind are not great.

Right now the evolution of technology is remarkable, but what has not kept up is the evolution of inter-human civilization in the sense of a civilized living together – sustainably (non-sustainable means: it is going to end).

Society was “programmed” by a fiat-loan-money system – basically giving the banks all the power, corrupt politicians (Clinton) removing important protections that were put in place in the past because of devastating crisis (1929), which is simply asking for trouble.

Who is going to steer this boat? profit?

What profit?

Profit of the 1%?

And then? The end of it all?

Settling on Mars will be a hard thing to do, especially if not a lot more of the 1% invest into

1. making earth a better place
2. even if Elon & Bezos think they can do it on their own, even with unlimited money, it will be VERY hard for them to make Mars a place where humans can breathe.
   • The super rich 1% do not live in a complete vacuum,
   • 
   • they too depend on a functional society
     • a nation with roads without holes …
     • a society that is NOT in a civil war like state
     • a society, where everyone rich & poor can feel save, (or even better, where there is a strong middle class) that does not rob & kidnap rich people on a daily basis (as it is already happening in countries such as Brazil… where children of the better-off will have to drive in bullet-proof jeeps through various checkpoints to kindergarden… it takes 30min (!!!) just to pass all checkpoints, #what #the #serious #fuck?,
   • that said:
     • Amazon payed 0€ taxes on 50 Billion of turnover in 2021 in Europe #what the actual #serious #fuck is this if not a fraud?)
     • so nobody has learned ANYTHING there…

gov laws like software development?: garbage collection for laws?

ok some rules clearly make no sense (some are from 1936 and definately need a rethinking).

Also Elon is right, when he says, there needs some sort of “garbage” collection of laws, otherwise, law is cluttered with laws that either make no sense or tie down everyone until nobody can do anything (because everything is forbidden).

BUT: the major problem is like with an old software system like MS DOS.

Can it be reformed? (very hard)

Or: (depending if the mess can be reformed, sometimes it might be better to “start from scratch”)

As with in software development: a list of cases needs to be kept, to test, if the new system can handle them all and better.

believe: if not in God - believe humans can learn & be civilized - Rutger Bregman & the history of mankind - gov laws like software development?: garbage collection for laws?

if not in God, believe that humans can learn

What is the difference between humans and animals?

As Dutch historian Rutger Bregman points out in his book “Humankind – A Hopeful History” genetic wise – not much (really would not mind if the reader skips all the depressing parts of this book).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nFI2Zb7qE

Imho humans (should be able) to learn faster than other species.

So these are the two things everyone HAS to believe in:

• humans can learn
• humans can be civilized

With those two believes, come two questions:

• Q1: no civilized rule set ever was perfect, who is in charge for improving it? (hopefully not the incompetent & corrupt?)
• Q2: will humans learn fast enough to escape “the great filters” of evolution, aka prevent disasters from happening, with unrestricted CAPITALISM CLEARLY NOT INCENTIVIZING = PREVENTING LEARNING & super (with exceptions) rich & the banks do not feel responsible for the survival of their own species…?
  • SHOULD the incentives of EVERY system be placed on maximum survivability of the species = maximum sustainability of lifestyles?
  • Would it be UTTER stupidity to NOT do that? (yes)

The dinosaurs had no capitalism and clearly did not a good job at

1. early detecting asteroids
2. early redirecting (pushing away) asteroids

Example Ethiopia - Why 100 millions non-sustainability refugees will flee Africa - lack of sustainable non-renewable lifestyles globally

First of “good” news:

• Africa is NOT (yet) the dry and barren land that many in “the West” envision, when thinking about Africa
• global population growth rate is on decline
• according to UN the 10 billion inhabitants mark could be passed 2057

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ethiopia-population/

Good news is also, that there are very intelligent farmers in Africa, that try to stop the desert by Zai technique (holes + cattle dung, first plant bushes, than trees, crops can grow in the shade)

The Man Who Stopped The Desert – Zai technique – Yacouba Sawadogo watch the documentary https://ytpak.net/watch?v=KOIWJFzx68E

Also Africa’s population growth rate is slowing down, but it is still the highest in the world.

Non-sustainable life-styles also in Africa? Yes!

Eucalyptus forests are only natural in Australia, not in Brazil and not in Africa, they are planted by humans, because they grow fast and burn well.

Non-sustainable modes (means: it is going to end) of survival sounds like a problem of “fast-food-obese” developed western post-industrial nations and yes – there is a massive problem there.

But in this case – Africa has the same problem as USA or Europe or (increasingly) China: non sustainable ways of survival that over use of finite resources in an non-recycling non-reuse non-sustainable way.

Dr. Christof Schenck, Frankfurt is fighting an uphill, almost impossible to win, battle.

He says, that the gov of Ethiopia needs to tell the police to take this matter serious and keep illegal settlers and cattle out of the environmental protection zones.

Will they listen? Surely not. “Because they have a tough time survive the next days” says Dr Schenck, “but if they continue like this, they will destroy the basis of their own survival”

“there is no conflict man vs environment-protection, man will surely lose if we can not rescue the forests of the Bale national park” (Wiki)

“currently we lose 10% of the forests per year”

“we (the West) did not realize the dimensions of this crisis yet”

“40.000 people live illegal in the national park”

“12 million people are dependent downstream from the water of the park”

“we (the West) need to help stabilize Ethiopia”

In the worst case, it would mean: mankind is stupid and a slow learner leading to the Lorax” Problem:

That the majority only starts to realize the problems caused, when the last tree has fallen.

The destruction by exploitation of environment (+China and Russia and USA and EU induced climate change) will lead to droughts and famine, causing millions Africans to flee their home country (nobody likes to flee one’s home country) and knock knock on the barb wire fences of Europe.

What will Europe do?

• refugees: “Hurray finally cheap labor” (aka slaves)
  • “What? Slavery is illegal? GO BACK TO AFRICA!”
  • (or stay and work for the Italian Tomato-Mafia with sometimes pay and sometimes no pay)
• the West needs to lead by example by living more sustainable lifestyle and less like grasshoppers, eat, eat, move on
• Ethiopia exports a lot of coffee (in contrast to South America, people there drink it) so it is important to pay them a fair price (ask for fair trade coffee and where it is from)

To live sustainability with nature – is possible.

Just as the West needs to transit from fossil fuel addiction to CO2-neutrality

Africa needs to change to sustainable renewable lifestyles (do not cut more trees than grow)

Africa still #1 in Population Growth rate (+2.49% per year)

Does this financial system work? How just is this financial system?

Q1: Does this financial system work?

A1: it works for the private banks, at least for a while, but it does not work for the rest of the world.

Q2: How just is this financial system?

A2: no not at all, just read this:

“During the COVID pandemic the interestrate on TLTRO III was lowered to -1% , which means that the ECB pays banks 1% of the value of their loan every year. This generous support has continued until the coronavirus hit and then strongly increased (see Figure 1).”

https://www.global-rates.com/en/interest-rates/central-banks/central-banks.aspx

src: http://www.positivemoney.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Green-TLTROs.pdf

Which means: if you are a bank, you even get paid by the central bank, for taking a loan.

“PLEASE! TAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU WANT! WE WILL EVEN PAY YOU FOR IT!”

If someone with ideas, walks into a bank to request a loan, they will laugh at you.

The “Big” (downward) “Hit” came after 2008.

So are those low interest rates just “fresh blood” for a zombie (the current financial system) to survive a bit longer?

Has the financial system actually collapsed in 2008 and not recovered since?

Why don’t do banks their job?

The job of a bank is to: actively (!) look and engage and foster and support entrepreneurs to finance new ideas, products, jobs…

not: take the freshly printed money and put it into the stock market casino.

Then there would be no “inflation” problem.

Btw: the “independent” central banks failed at their core job: to not do, what “experts” feared the state would do with the privilege of money printing:

print as much money as you like and cause massive dysfunctional financial system and inflation
