Comments on: John Maynard Keynes’ post-capitalist vision http://futurismic.com/2008/11/25/john-maynard-keynes-post-capitalist-vision/ Presenting the fact and fiction of tomorrow since 2001 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kirk http://futurismic.com/2008/11/25/john-maynard-keynes-post-capitalist-vision/comment-page-1/#comment-33006 Kirk Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:48:44 +0000 http://futurismic.com/?p=4942#comment-33006 Guess I am fashionably late with my input, but I love your minds. Regardless of your opinions, you are thinking and that is so refreshing. I an academic climate where the Bush Administration has sunk the final nail in the coffin of Academic Freedom, I thank you for your thoughts. I hope this blog is still alive, cause at soon to be 63, I am more motivated than ever to make a difference. Please leave me your thoughts if you would like to get involved in a process to change the definition of education in this country. I am serious, and have started a website, which will be launched as soon as I have found enough advisiors to contribute. I will be selective as this is not meant to piss off, but rather to bring about change through empowerment and inspiration, something that has been missing from the system of education since the mid 1970's. The site not functioning yet, is www.studentsforbettereducation.com The basic principals will include collaboration among students, teachers and administrators for the purpose of re-defining the system of education.

I simply don't trust this evangelical message anymnore. Communism is dead and gone. Now US style market kapitalism is being taken to the grave, all but dead. We are in dire need of a new way. For now I'll stick with western-european social democracy, with a personal insistence on technoprogressivism. But if there is any doubt, under no circumstances will I ever tolerate the same level of market fundamentalism again. I want this american filth PURGED from my environment like a disease.

Upon reading this post, I immediately thought of a scene in The Matrix movie when Agent Anderson confided to Morpheus that "the Matrix" was actually version 2.0. The first version was created to be a Utopia where every human wish was fulfilled. And Agent Anderson quipped: "It was a disaster". I believe humans must struggle, fail and sometimes overcome to survive. It's in our genes. It's who we are at our very core. The Universe is a big place. With all do respect, I don't think we will run out needs, wants or challenges anytime in the next 100 million years or so.

For one thing, it's not a "so-called" consensus unless you have a very different understanding of percentages to the one I picked up at school. But as I've said before, arguing the origin of GW is pointless and obfuscatory - it's there, and we must do something about it, because we're all in the same boat. I'm sure even you'd not go so far as to say that the GW phenomenon is a falsification in and of itself, because as much as you may believe something that I don't, I'm not convinced that you're actually insane. Now, please keep on topic - this is an economics post, so feel free to argue economics all you like. If you have an AGW point to add, I'm sure you'll spot an opportune place some time soon. :) Anarchist more than libertarian, Jasper – Libertarianism has a lot of… biases. ;)
