“Passion is sex not romance, romance is passion not love, love is a shared essence of another’s soul.”
The distribution of wealth is not overwhelming, it’s just bigger than everyone else. The problem is in the economic life experience in the village, trying to comprehend wealth and power in the whole of earth life between the character and nature of my life and yours, of our lives and others.
When lions escape from the limitations of the village and seek the dominance of the city, nation or the whole planet, isn’t there something they need to know and understand about how the whole wealth system works, how 7.6 billion lambs must be fed, provided for, educated, managed, and their needs respected? Isn’t this necessary and essential in order for both lions and lambs to survive?
I listened to separate interviews of Jeff Besos and Robert Gates, two of the most significant men of wealth of any time in world history…both are now multi-BILLIONAIRES.
They both discovered and latched onto a principle of business provision and process that captured and created great corporate and personal wealth. The wealth became their personal property because of what are felt to be primitive rights of ownership belonging to the one who makes the kill.
Regardless of the fact that they employed lambs to do the tasking, the actual work, and investors to finance the process. The investors harvest the wealth and the workers receive wages and salaries. This principle is at the heart of the ethic of ownership in the distribution and functioning methodology of the current capitalistic process of separation of wealth and ownership that transcends the basic definition of capitalism as a mutual interactive effort and benefit.
The Puzzle is in the laws of energy exchange in the creation of wealth and its distribution in provision.
The “wealth” produced provides for this outcome, but doesn’t it also require the energy of people, availability of natural resources, and the recycling of the waste created by both?
The product and the by-product are the measure of its efficacy, the energy balance of that which has been created, consumed and brought to life on earth, and the cost to the well being of the bio-system of Earth, the energy needed in both the means and exchange which the sustainable living process requires to be ongoing.
I find this question very difficult to both frame and answer. It’s not so difficult to understand in the physics of it, the effect that wealth distribution has on the quality, character and meaning of life; the effect wealth has on human behavior, produced at all levels of abundance in a hierarchy of power. The magnitude between the polarity of poverty, disease, and the direct consequences to the environment in its absence in the living circumstance; producing a scenario where 50% of the human population are destroying the environmental functions so critical to life on earth.
Can the production and distribution of wealth provide for survival and balance, contributing to the sustainability of life on Earth?
Can a proper method of creation, distribution and appropriate use of wealth be found that will provide the balance between waste, limited resources, and all that humanity and the biology of the earth requires to carry out life, the giving functions of our continuing existence?
Can a balanced production and distribution of wealth save Us?
