Between worlds

One world dies. Another world is born.

New world, outdated concepts

Has the world stopped making sense? Maybe it hasn't. The world always makes sense. It's the model of the world that people create in their heads, that stops making sense.

As they say, "the map is not the terrain". When you map stops working for you, get a new map.

"Stimulating the economy", and other nonsense

Concepts such as "stimulating the economy" only exist in the heads of bureaucrats and their dupes. The expression contains the assumption that such a thing is even possible. Printing money neither magically makes goods and services to come into existence, nor does it allocate our limited resources in prudent ways, but rather, does the opposite and squanders them. "Stimulating the economy" makes us poorer.

The Federal Reserve not only doesn't have any solutions, it is running out of "ammunition" (not to mention competent leadership). Congress doesn't have any solutions. The G7 doesn't have any solutions. The EU doesn't have any solutions.

The only accomplishment of these government bodies, has been to transfer wealth from savers to politically-connected spenders.

A profound sense of entitlement

A lot of people in the "western" countries are rejecting the news that is flashing right in their faces. I've heard people talking about crashing stock markets, housing foreclosures, and rising unemployment as if it's all a lot of hooey. They keep talking about "when things get back to normal".

What is normal? Why are they projecting the golden age of materialistic hedonism both into the past and into the future?

Blessings don't happen because you want them to happen; they happen when you make them happen.

Evolution

Evolution is God looking for a way. You can either be part of that way, or you can be roadkill on the Kosmic Highway.

Divine law

The Kosmos is governed according to laws. Some of them are immutable, such as "you can't get something for nothing", and some of them are transitive according the the Age. The working laws of the coming Age are...

• The value of money will decrease as more money is created through the banking system.
• Debasement of the currency favors current consumption over future production.
• Consumption of savings depletes real capital.
• Taxes rates will rise as revenues decline.
• Petroleum-based infrastructure and the value of currencies secretly backed by petroleum will decline as petroleum runs out.
• The current petroleum cost of growing food is unsustainable.
• Low interest rates encourage less effective uses for borrowed money. High interest rates accelerate the rate at which new money must be created to pay back the existing debt load.
