I’m Sorry To Inform You That Your System Has Failed

Honestly? 84 000 arrivals in Italy the last six months and 2000 drowned trying? In six months?

30 000 have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in the past years? They’re sons, daughters, mothers and fathers they are real people. Not numbers.

“Why don’t they eat pastries instead”* or why don’t they take the air plane like normal people?

So, the ongoing migrant catastrophe has noting to do with economics or the distribution of wealth in a global sense?

They simply want to irritate and harass us or cause general problems?

Pause. Why would anyone leave everything? Their mother and father? What would make you do that?

Leave everything? You have no idea? Think again… what would make you risk your own life? You still have no idea?

I suggest that you think carefully before answering this one.

The people risking their own lives as well as their children’s, are doing so because of what… exactly?

It has been like this since the second world war ended. I’ve been fighting for my side. People are dying now as they have always done. Humanism or they’re not entrepreneurs enough to save their own lives? Please, explain that to a child in a way that makes sense.

What would you risk your own life for? Honestly? what would YOU be prepared to die for? It is not a hypothetical question. Every day people like you and me (but not you and me) take THAT decision. What is worth dying for?

Bad news for all believers in the capitalist system, Keynes and so-called social-liberalist or any form of political liberalism in fact. The mess caused by so-called liberalists, it is worse than anything else. The uncontrolled and global monetary market that is now run by machines? Algorithms programmed to be fast and maximize profit. It has already failed in spectacular ways.

It failed yesterday (2017-07-04/05) when the Amazon stock fell 80% and the market value of Apple was tripled for a short while… So? Why should that concern me? Well, if I had a machine and I bought Amazon and sold Apple, say 1 000 000 shares at the same time I would have made a lot of money.

And if I knew when to sell or buy I could have made a lot more. What is the current trading price for Amazon and Apple stocks? You do the maths…

Not so smart AI yet, they caused the crash in 2008 and yesterday 2017 “they” tripled the value of Apple and sent Amazon down 80%? Both are global companies and they are subjected to programs that were made by humans.

Have you ever heard of an endless loop? Regardless, they are bad and you really don’t want them. Why would you ever let anonymous programs control anything and let a lone a global market? I think that most people would never consider their own fridge or washing machine running under circumstances like that (random)?

But, the global market is OK? But have you considered that superior computing power (nudge, nudge Chi*na/*ndia) may push you straight out of the playground? Do you know what the 1000 feet rule is?

“We do not know what happened?” That is most likely true. But not comforting. It must be a third-party supplier. NASDAQ? I imagine we are talking about extremely complex system and probably self-adjusting systems. But, having them (the systems) controlling the global economy and the ones in charge are saying: “We don’t know.” Does not seem right to me.

It would seem to be “systematic”. If your coffee maker gets to hot or if your phone catches fire? You would consider malfunction?

The programs running the global market are no different as far as I know. I have never seen one up close. I’ve heard of them and I have met people that work with them. Ghost programs.

This is not CERN. They (real scientists) are looking for evidence in the physical World (something) to confirm a hypothesis to support a well-formed theory.

Economics? Do you realize how dangerous the current practice is? Less than 8% now control all of the Earth’s resources. The experiment and try to increase their part. In context… “Agent Orange” has a “plan”, but the richest man on the planet is in fact Mexican?

There are people, individual people that has wealth that far supersedes many nations. What would you do? Gain superior processing power. And that would be cheep. AI? You don’t think it exists?

That would be the place to look and it is the perfect place. Modern economics, the thing that is said it is all non-physical. Or as my late father once said: … it was online in this text and I regret that now. It is simply not a question of wheater it is trough or not.

* I don’t believe that it is an accurate quote. Marie most likely never said that (given that her own life was at stake, and that she seems to have been quite intelligent it seems unlikely that she did not know and you could easily imagine that she had other priorities), however it fits my textual context.

You can retell this story as many times as you want. And you may call it whatever you want. It does not matter the outcome will be the same.

An entire economy based on work-based taxation, in combination with furious automation and an increasing ageing population? Stats is not my strong subject… but.

Please remember, I am in need of urgent assistance. Maybe that assistance is: “Africa is a road.”? You know like in the song? Could that be it? Some say it is higher situated and the flood will not reavh that far.

What, will I tell my son and my sister’s son tomorrow or in ten years time? I happen to believe that “We did not know” will just not do it…

Am i supposed to say: “I’m Sorry, I did not know what was happening and I did not know what it woould lead to.”? To the next generations and the nextone? Knowingly depriving them of their future(s)?

That must the first time in human history. War is one thing and there is no gurantee of life or living. But habitat has always been just that. It changes, however destroying your own habitat. I do not have absoulte proof, but that must be the first not only in human history, a first full stop.

The concept is and has always been uncomprehensible to me. It is litterally like setting yourself on fire although you know you can’t not put out the fire and you don’t want to die in a firery blaze.
