My greatest concern,
is the consciousness of humanity. This has no spiritual intent when I mention it, but is based on observation, in which I see how humanity is trapped inside a system. Reality is not recognized as a system-reality, which prevents free thinking, because thinking becomes system‑related to the conditions within reality — which is a system reality.
Although almost everything is system‑related, such as politics, legislation, the appearance of the world through its borders, duality, behavior, and the economy, I will focus in this story on the economy.
Within economic thinking, when new models are developed, employment is taken into account. Employment is seen as the engine of existence; we contribute to the lives of others and create for ourselves a source of income through work, which allows us to pay for what we need.
However, if you look deeper, at what the obtaining of income depends on, it is not dependent on effort, but on the consumption of that effort. The more we depend on work that gives us, as individuals, a form of existence through an earning model, the greater the consumption of that work must be. The mechanism that drives the earning model is therefore consumption.
Everything must be earned. If you look at the economic model concerning a basic income, then that basic income must be earned, which means that a greater consumption burden will arise — it cannot be otherwise. It could first be paid out of reserves, but eventually we must all consume as much as possible together to keep guaranteeing a basic income.
Regarding the doughnut economy, the same applies: it must be realized through consumption, because the system adds an obligation of compensation, and that compensation must be earned, and you can only earn when it is consumed.
I am not critical of the intention of these models, but of the system logic in which they must function.
To make the plan succeed, you would have to abolish the dependency on the earning model, which leads to a completely different underlying system, in which you depend on production instead of consumption.
That requires a completely different way of living together, where it is not even about what we do, but about why we do it. The “why” is the system condition.
One way could be the way in which we care for each other unconditionally on a global scale —
aligning production with collective need, instead of aligning production with consumption volume for the sake of one’s own earning model.
We already care for each other worldwide, only the way we do it does not lead to achieving what we truly want, and not everyone is included in it.
We — for me — means we humans.
