It is plenty clear that our society is not working as well as it should. This pictorial essay explores some of the factors that affect our society and the reasons for sluggish and peculiar behavior that makes our progress very difficult nowadays.
This document summarizes and responds to a column arguing that the Tea Party's commitment to personal liberty could undermine social justice and a just society if not balanced with commitments to the common good. The response argues that the column misunderstands concepts like fascism, social justice, and the common good. It asserts that true liberty is balanced by adherence to law and morality, not forced equality of outcomes, and that social justice is a Marxist rather than Christian concept. The pursuit of a just society through government enforcement will remove liberty, rather than ensure it.
This document summarizes a court case regarding whether wealthy nations have an obligation to help alleviate poverty in other countries. The court considers arguments from two petitioners, Peter Singer and Thomas Nagel. While acknowledging Nagel's argument is stronger, the court ultimately rules against both petitioners. It finds that obligations can only exist between parties that consented to an agreement, and one cannot force aid without consent. Additionally, the solutions proposed by both petitioners fail the criterion of practicality, as they would require drastic changes that could increase injustice and harm innocent people. The court concludes wealthy nations have no enforceable obligation to help poor foreign nations.
This document summarizes and criticizes a New York Times opinion article by Charles M. Blow. It argues that [1] liberals inherently dislike America because it has not achieved utopia, and Blow's article expresses disappointment in America's "failed greatness." It also claims [2] Blow and liberals ignore the trillions spent on social welfare programs as a result of failed liberal policies. And [3] an international report ranking America low on social measures ignores defense spending that maintains global security.
What does our economy look like in the age of automation? What plans do the world's largest companies have - think Amazon, Alibaba and Alphabet - for our collective future? How will we fit into the world that they're building?
In this webinar we take a close look at Amazon's granted and/or filed patents, and assess what they're building as a leading indicator for what the economy of the future will look like.
18 venn diagrams showing how corrupted american ‘democracy’ really isAnonDownload
This article analyzes 18 Venn diagrams that show the extensive connections between large corporations and the US government. The diagrams reveal how corporate interests have corrupted American democracy by demonstrating the revolving door between industries like banking, oil, pharmaceuticals, and agribusiness and political institutions. They provide strong visual evidence of how corporatism has undermined the government's ability to serve the people's interests. The article argues this systemic corruption has damaging effects and contributes to problems that hurt many Americans to benefit a powerful few.
Danny Dorling is a Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield. He went to various schools in Oxford and to University in Newcastle upon Tyne. He has worked in Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds and New Zealand. With a group of colleagues he helped create the website www.worldmapper.org which shows who has most and least in the world.
He has published with others more than 25 books on issues related to social inequalities and several hundred journal papers. Much of this work is available open access (see www.dannydorling.org). His work concerns issues of housing, health, employment, education and poverty. His recent books include, three co-authored texts: "Identity in Britain:
A cradle-to-grave atlas", "The Atlas of the Real World: Mapping the way we live" and "Bankrupt Britain: an atlas of social change". Recent sole authored books include, "Injustice: why social inequalities persist” in 2010 and "So you think you know about Britain" and “Fair Play”, both in 2011.
In 2008/9 he was a member of the Academic Reference Group advising Ministers on the Social Mobility White Paper. In 2009 he joined the World Health Organization's Scientific Resource Group on Health Equity Analysis and Research and the advisory group of the Equality Trust. He is a Patron of the charity RoadPeace, an Academician of the Academy of the Learned Societies in the Social Sciences and, in 2008, became Honorary President of the Society of Cartographers.
Before a career in academia Danny was employed as a play-worker in children's play-schemes and in pre-school education where the underlying rationale was that playing is learning for living. He tries not to forget this by playing with data surrounding people’s lives and representing the results in new, novel and stark ways which usually reveal the inequality of the lives we each live.
Lawrence Lessig's "The Problem with Money in Politics" at UCLA on November 17...Rootstrikers
Lessig uses several really cool fonts, which we had to substitute for universal, less cool ones for the PowerPoint file. Check out corruptionismyissue.org for a list of these fonts.
Note: We transcribed the talk in full in this file. Each slide contains the portion of the actual speech that accompanied that visual.
The document summarizes the flaws with both conservative and liberal extremes when applied to systems of government. It argues that neither a minimal centralized government approach favored by conservatives nor a maximal socialist approach favored by some liberals have ever proven effective when implemented in real world governments. According to the author, this is because systems that deny the basic human drives of fear and greed cannot properly control or motivate society. The most effective solutions are those that do the most good for citizens rather than being most popular or ideological, and are fair and efficient rather than purely conservative or liberal. The conclusion is that some form of smart government is needed rather than one that is either too big or small.

Left Realism emerged in 1980s Britain as a reaction to both conservative "law and order" politics and the perceived lack of radical left thinking on crime issues. It aims to take crime seriously while avoiding moral hysteria. Left Realism sees crime as a real problem but believes its causes lie in structural inequality and blocked opportunities. It draws on subcultural theory and relative deprivation to explain rising crime rates among vulnerable groups like unemployed youth and young black men. While some praise its policy focus, others criticize it as anti-working class or even racist.
Promoting the Role of Government in Child Well-BeingPublicWorks
As Americans, we eagerly support and cherish our own children. However, progress on improving conditions for all our nation’s children has stalled in many arenas.
Children’s advocates know what needs to be done. The science and the policy knowledge have advanced.
But, public will and action lag behind.
Left realism: INTRODUCTION TO LEFT REALISM POWERPOINTmattyp99
Realist criminology has two strands: right realism and left realism. Left realism acknowledges the real increase in crime rates since the 1950s and takes crime seriously, especially crimes that affect disadvantaged groups. Left realism advocates a dual approach of practical crime reduction measures and long-term social change to create a more equal society and ultimately eliminate the root causes of crime, which they see as relative deprivation, subcultures formed from blocked opportunities, and marginalization.
The document argues that average Americans are getting a raw deal while corporate CEOs and Wall Street make record profits. It notes that CEOs make 300 times more than average workers, unemployment is over 9%, yet corporate profits are at record highs of $14.7 trillion after taxes. Bank bailouts benefited Wall Street executives with $6 million bonuses while homeowners faced foreclosure. Republicans' tax cuts gave the wealthy an average of 38% cuts versus 11% for average Americans. The document calls on people to join the Occupy America movement to demand a fair deal for average citizens.
Socialism is a modern Trojan Horse. It is easy to accept and espouse when in reality it is fraught with evils and ills that undermine the very foundations of Democracy and Capitalism. Socialism has many problems that affect negatively the well being of all of us and our civilization. Ronald Reagan was very astute regarding the problems associated with Socialism. He offered us some of the best quotes pertaining to Socialism and Big Government.
Every industrial revolution had its pluses and minuses. The fourth industrial revolution has its own dark side. It's up to the global thought, business, and government leaders to minimize them.
Explaining the rise of anxiety, discomfort, and stress over the fourth industrial revolution, which represents the dawn of another significant era that will revolutionize our civilization to the same degree as the first two revolutions. The first two revolutions took humans away from the agrarian lifestyle and launched the industrial era and lifestyle. 4IR will have the same impact as we are entering an era of high tech. It's called The Digital Era, but it's more than that.
Debt is a reflection of a country's health and well-being. Excessive debt cripples a nation to the point that it can no longer repair itself, take advantage of opportunities or progress in the right direction. Nations are no different than families. The same ills that befall and affect families plague entire nations. Several European nations are going through that learning curve right now and the US is getting ready to learn the same lesson as well. Politicians have no consciousness and no integrity. They would gladly saddle a nation with an ugly debt just to make themselves look good (so they can get re-elected). They tell us they are on our side and they are doing all these great things for us, but the truth is that none of it is true.
The document discusses the definition of terrorism and the repercussions of constructivism. It notes that while there is no universal definition, terrorism involves creating fear and agitation. Technological advancements have allowed terrorists to strike in more efficient and destructive ways, resulting in more deaths and destruction. Political, religious, and issue-based terrorism are mentioned as forms that constructivism may help understand by examining how meanings and identities are socially constructed.

The document discusses elastography, which is a medical imaging technique used to assess the stiffness or elasticity of tissues. It works by using ultrasound, MRI, or computed tomography to image tissues as they are compressed or disturbed by external forces. This allows clinicians to detect differences in tissue stiffness that may indicate diseases like cancer. The document provides details on how elastography is performed, what types of information it can provide about tissue mechanical properties, and how it is used clinically and in tissue engineering applications.
Based on The Economics of Kindness,
by Guy Dauncey
300 years ago, the Enlightenment generated an inspiring vision of scientific, technological and economic progress. What was once global ‘progress’, however, has become a climate, ecological, economic and pandemic emergency.
We need new inspiration. When we emerge from the pandemic we can’t afford to go back to business-as-usual. We need to build ourselves a new ecological civilization in which we live, work and play in harmony with Nature, with respect for all beings, in an economy based on the economics of kindness.

This document discusses various types of modern conflicts and threats facing societies post-9/11. It addresses threats from non-state actors, infectious diseases, poverty, environmental degradation, and more. It argues that current defense strategies focus too narrowly on state-based military threats while largely ignoring other challenges. A holistic approach is needed to understand the full spectrum of threats and their interrelated nature in order to effectively address risks to security and stability.

This document discusses sensory perception and the sensory system. It explains that the sensory system processes sensory information through the five senses and allows us to interact with our environment. Sensory receptors collect information which the brain links to memories and experiences. While sensory data generally provides accurate information, environmental factors can sometimes distort interpretation. The early development of the sensory system helps explain why some can regain lost senses later in life.
1. The document proposes three "macrorules" to establish a system of panarchy: a right of exit from civil associations, the principle of subsidiarity to push power down to local levels, and a presumption of liberty that places the burden on governments to justify restrictions on individual conduct.
2. Under this system, civil associations would provide non-territorial goods and services, competing for members, while territorial functions would be handled at local levels.
3. This is argued to balance individualism and community, allow diverse political systems to coexist peacefully, check coercive power, and realize true self-determination through competition among alternative systems.

18 venn diagrams showing how corrupted american ‘democracy’ really isAnonDownload
This article features 18 Venn diagrams that illustrate the extensive connections between large corporations and the US government. These connections demonstrate how the political system has become corrupted by corporate interests. The diagrams show overlaps between politicians, lobbyists, and corporations like Goldman Sachs, Monsanto, Disney, and oil and pharmaceutical companies. They provide visual evidence of the revolving door between corporations and government and how policy decisions often favor corporate profits over public interests. The article argues this type of corporatism, or crony capitalism, undermines democracy and harms average citizens and future generations.

The key to adapting to the new lifestyles and norms is to handle social and societal changes is to perform massive transformations. The problem is that governments and current institutions have no clue as to how to handle massive transformations. They do not have the right institutions in place or programs to handle such extensive transformations. This presentation offers a few clues as to what is happening and how to handle those massive ntransformations.
Analyzing the megatrends in society that affect the way people think, behave, live their lives, work with their elected officials, deal with capitalism, etc. The comparison of the first Renaissance vs. the New Renaissance is very telling. Most people do not fully understand the impact of the New Renaissance as we all suffer from the boiled frog syndrome.
We are only at the initial phase of the New Renaissance. Things will dramatically change for everyone in the next 20-50 years. The New Renaissance is a lot more than just another label to describe the Digital Age.
The New Renaissance coincides with the emergence of the 5th Industrial Revolution and super smart technologies, such as Quantum Computing and Generative Artificial Intelligence.

The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
The Power of Actions Slideshow by: Kal-elKal-el Shows

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

2nd issue of Volume 15. A magazine in urdu language mainly based on spiritual treatment and learning. Many topics on ISLAM, SUFISM, SOCIAL PROBLEMS, SELF HELP, PSYCHOLOGY, HEALTH, SPIRITUAL TREATMENT, Ruqya etc.A very useful magazine for everyone.
1. What Is Wrong With Our Society?Well, Let’s See! Laertis August, 2011 Laertis Proprietary 2011 1
2. Kim Kardashian Ties the Knot The reality star marries basketball player Kris Humphries before 440 guests in Montecito, Calif. Julia Stiles: 'Dexter' (the horrible TV Show) Murder Scenes (are) Surprisingly Enjoyable Laertis Proprietary 2011 2 AOL 1st Page News on 8/21/11

4. Bristol Palin shows off new body art Woman swears off mirrors for a year Lindsay Lohan's hippie-style flub Gay country singer weds girlfriend Urban Outfitters sued over racy photos Laertis Proprietary 2011 4 Other Important Headlines For The Week
5. Major Stock Market problems Possible Double Dip Recession (Some people believe we never got out of recession) Foreclosure panic High unemployment Dysfunctional Government Huge Debt that can devastate our civilization Nasty wars and famines in several places More violence in the Middle East Laertis Proprietary 2011 5 All That Happening In The Midst Of:
6. Albeit the wrong kind! They went from “Let the sunshine shine in” to “Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out” Laertis Proprietary 2011 6 Side Note: The Baby Boomers Are Exiting With A Bang
7. One cannot focus on the serious news alone because things are very depressing and can have negative affects on the airheads among us that cannot deal with stress. But having 14 out of 16 headlines address “fluff” is not exactly doing our society justice or helps to focus the energies of the nation on the right things Laertis Proprietary 2011 7 We Fully Understand That:
8. The Debt? The Wars? The Economic Malaise? The rest of them? Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes to all of them Why then can our Government focus on them? Because the problems they have created are bigger than they can handle! Laertis Proprietary 2011 8 Is It Important To Focus On:
9. Because focus sends the message to our alleged leaders of what is important to us and what our priorities are as a nation. With headlines that are full of fluff the subliminal message is that we all are complacent idiots that do not care what our leaders do or decide for us. No wonder those clowns have no sense of urgency. They think that we worry more about the Kardashians than our terrible situations and troubles Laertis Proprietary 2011 9 Why Focus?
11. Bad leaders (it’s ancient Athens all over again) A complacent public A harebrained press that highlights useless stories and ignores the vital ones An entertainment industry bend on glamorizing, the weird, abnormal, bizarre, shocking, scandalous, and even disgusting stories that have no value and no merit Laertis Proprietary 2011 11 The Roots Of Our Problems
13. Laertis Proprietary 2011 13 Here Is How The Government Fixes Things: … and don’t forget how well they have ran Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, USPS, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and everything else that they put their hands on
18. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation Laertis Proprietary 2011 18 Moreover, Many of Us Have Wrong Ideas About Society. We Don’t Understand:
20. Laertis Proprietary 2011 20 How Our Government Works Now Government officials are paid better and have better benefits than most executives in the corporate world! Unbelievable!
22. When we were growing up our parents and teachers told us not to make a career working for the Government because a) they do not pay well, and b) only the dummies go to work there because they cannot make it in the regular business world. Well, the dummies learned how to get into our wallets and make a better a life than the rest of us that supposedly have brains. And we have allowed them to do this to us! We deserve it for being complacent and lethargic! Laertis Proprietary 2011 22 An Interesting Point
23. Laertis Proprietary 2011 23 But The Decline Does Not End With The Economy and Politics These pix are mild by comparison to what it really exists out there. We have decided not to show the worst.
24. Laertis Proprietary 2011 24 Believe it or not, he was only 18 in 2011, when he looked like this: He got arrested because he wanted to drink someone’s blood. He was influenced by stories such as this one:
25. Laertis Proprietary 2011 25 Did Your Parents Ever Allow You To Go Out Like this? What is she trying to tell the “viewers”?
27. Fact: Every generation complaints that the succeeding generations do not measure up and that they see a decline in morals and decay of values. But is it true? Yes, it is, once a society is past its peak point. All one has to do is visit the Athenian society, Alexander’s successors (all the way to Cleopatra), the Roman, Byzantine, Russian and other Empires to realize that there is a natural degeneration of everything Laertis Proprietary 2011 27 Is Our Decline Real Or Imaginary?
28. There are many factors. All living organisms, all systems, all mechanisms, all theories, all philosophies, all beliefs and even all religions deteriorate over time. Our planet, our Sun, our galaxy and our very universe are all deteriorating right in front of our eyes, although most people do not see it or realize it. Some of them deteriorate faster than others, but in the end they all do. It’s the way of the cosmos Laertis Proprietary 2011 28 Why Do Things Degenerate?
29. Each system (from organisms to galaxies) have their own lifecycle. Empires usually last 250 to 1,000 years. Religions usually last 1,000 to 2,500 years. Major companies typically last 40 to 80 years. Stars and galaxies last a few billion years, but they too get destroyed by other galaxies, black holes and the end of the cosmos (the Big Crunch, which leads to another Big Bang). Everything has a lifecycle, including our planet and the cosmos Laertis Proprietary 2011 29 Key Realization
30. Dr. Edward Deming said that: "94% of all failure is the result of a system that failed.“ The question in manufacturing and in life in general is: “Do we understand the system?” You will be astounded to know that most people do not understand the system (a.k.a. the big picture) they are dealing with. They only understand small parts of the system Laertis Proprietary 2011 30 An Interesting Comment
31. One must attack the system in a holistic way --- fixing all aspects and interrelationships at the same time. Systems cannot be fixed by focusing on certain parts only and ignoring the rest of them. Fixing certain parts of a system only buys one more time ( at least for a while), but in the end the whole system will fail. This is exactly how our Governments work. They are always looking for “the nail” that sticks out so they can hammer it down Laertis Proprietary 2011 31 Fixing A System
32. Laertis Proprietary 2011 32 By The Way, They Cannot Even Do That Right! First, they have to have committees to decide if it is a nail that needs to be hammered down. Then they have to have committees to find their right hammer. Then they have to have committees to decide how much it will cost to hammer down the nail. Then they have to have committees to decide who, how, where and when the action will take place. They finally approve the action. Their action(s) usually leads to a bent nail or broken hammer. Then they have more committees to find out whom to blame. Those are the idiots that govern us!
33. Our planet is a system Our civilization and humanity is a system Our industries are a system (not individual systems, but one system) Our governments our systems Our economies are a system Our environment is a system … … and all those systems are connected into one super-system, which is a part of another mega-system Laertis Proprietary 2011 33 Key Realization
34. Laertis Proprietary 2011 34 One System This is a clue as to what we need to do to save our planet and the human race. This is also the clue to the coming mega-shift that is mentioned on p.44
35. … And Now The Shocker OMG! Laertis Proprietary 2011 35
36. Christianity is declining. A new religion is emerging that is not based on personal Gods Socialism has been declining for a while Communism is on its last leg Capitalism is declining Many corporations are in decline mode The Manufacturing industry has been in decline for decades Our education system has been declining Our planet is now declining Laertis Proprietary 2011 36 In Case You Did Not Know:
37. Laertis Proprietary 2011 37 The Numbers Spell It Out For Us And there are numerous reports and scientific analyses to document the decline
38. That The Pentagon, CIA and other government agencies are having reports to quantify all the impending disasters based on raw materials shortages, energy shortages, food and water shortages, and all other kinds of critical resource shortages that will jeopardize our nation’s security, livelihood, civilization and our very existence on this planet? These studies are not done as intellectual exercises. They are done as true scenarios of where we are headed! Laertis Proprietary 2011 38 Did You Know …
39. Depravity Decadence Self-Indulgence, Narcissism Corruption Callousness Apathy Laziness Materialism Atheism, Agnosticism Laertis Proprietary 2011 39 At The Same Time The Following Are On The Rise: Yes, the world has seen all this before!
40. Audacity Impudence Boldness Disrespect Arrogance Hubris Shamelessness Remorselessness Egotism Laertis Proprietary 2011 40 And These Too: WHY? Because people start believing they are on top of the world (and on top of the food chain). They can do and say whatever they want and they can get away with it without any deprecations or consequences. They do not understand that this is an illusion!
41. Laertis Proprietary 2011 41 But … There Are Deprecations and Consequences For Bad and Thoughtless Behavior
42. No. One can revitalize a system, a theory or an organism for a while, but in the end there has to an end or a conclusion. One can see that in companies, cities, counties, States, countries and entire empires. But interestingly enough, out of the death or demise of the old, something new is born … usually something that is even more exciting Laertis Proprietary 2011 42 Can Degeneration Be Prevented?
43. Because things will eventually fail or end does not imply dong nothing and waiting around for the inevitable to happen. Good people do all they can do to improve a system, maintain it well and advance it to the next level by either extending its lifecycle or by introducing a new paradigm that creates a new lifecycle Laertis Proprietary 2011 43 Clarification
44. Laertis Proprietary 2011 44 New Paradigms Open New Horizons, Create New Opportunities, and Generate Optimism, Hope and Energy
45. Laertis Proprietary 2011 45 Good Question Something big is brewing, but we don’t know what it is yet. It is bigger than The Post-Industrialization Era, or The Information Age, or The Post-Cold War Era or any other descriptor that our intellectuals are using to describe our new epoch and avalanche of paradigm shifts. It appears that this is the mega-shift that will change everything in our lives. We are here now. Is there a new paradigm emerging?
47. Laertis Proprietary 2011 47 That’s Exactly The Concept Of The Phoenix Some things have to die in order to improve. The old Babylon, old Athens, old Rome, old Byzantium are still with us in different shapes and forms. The original versions had to die in order to get the civilization we have today.
48. The American Empire is not ready to fall apart or be ruined right away. It has plenty of life left in it because it has some of the smartest people in the world that can figure out and deploy solutions that we are not able to foresee or describe today. There is hope. We all are hoping that the new generations are courageous, inventive, imaginative and resourceful to come up with new answers to our problems Laertis Proprietary 2011 48 Some Good News
