ILLUMINATION | LIFE LESSONS | NEW WORLD ORDER

How To Be Absolutely Shocking, Beautiful, Exciting, Confusing?

You can’t eat money, gold, bitcoin, crude oil. Can you?

This “How to” headline earned me a score of 88 in the Coschedule headline analyzer. Isn’t this what its all about. Clickbait(s).

I feel cheap already, but I don’t care.

This one time, I don’t care.

How many times have you opened an article just to find that it has nothing or almost nothing to do with its title. I’ll bet many. Especially, from those writers who have forgotten what writing meant for them when they didn’t do it for clickbaits, but instead to actually share something meaningful.

I will not name them, you know them.

And most probably you aren’t one of them, because they don’t have time to read articles like this anymore.

Clickbaits — without meaning.

Welcome to the world of zero-sum games of game theory.

“Behind every great fortune there is a crime.”

— Honoré de Balzac —

Show me a human who made a million dollars, honestly and ethically, by not hurting anybody in the process of hoarding that amount. I know that there was that one guy, but then I looked into it and… still — guilty.

Because it’s a systematic problem, not a personal one.

It just isn’t possible. At least not with the prevailing economic system. No other complex system worships the winner as in a system based on game theory.

So as long as we continue to play this game, as long as there are winners, there are losers. As long as there are big winners, there are a lot of losers, and I mean — a lot.

Not so interestingly enough, somebody rarely mentions the losers, it’s not popular to mention losers, unless you can turn it into a win. Writing an article about “10 Awesome Ways How To Be A Loser” won’t make you a winner, or maybe it will, but I hope you get my point here.

“10 Awesome Ways How To Be A Loser” scores 84 on a clickbait radar though, hmm, anybody up for a challenge to explain how to be a loser?

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

— Albert Einstein —

I think we are there, at least the ones belonging to the precariat class, which actually is the majority of the people in the world.

We can even skip the WW III. The COVID-19 situation has made it pretty clear in every sense of its lessons. We have arrived.

The only way to survive, soon, is to grow your own food. Just as it was done some 200 years ago — because in the worst case of scenario it will come down to the essentials — biological requirements for human survival.

And let me put those essentials in a way that everybody can understand.

You can’t eat money, gold, bitcoin, oil, platinum, etc. You can still continue to play the game of gathering those items with their made-up value, which isn’t real but psychological, but only up to a certain point.

I know it sounds a great deal Utopian, but you can be Jeff, Bill, Warren, Mark, Carlos, Françoise or Alice but if you don’t have a potato or tomato growing in your backyard — when it comes down to essentials, no billion or million of worthless value will fill your stomach — at least not in a healthy way.

We have a way out of this long overdue mess. Unimaginable first, maybe, but the more you adjust your thinking, it’s the only way.

I know. You want to know the answer. I know.

And if you are really well adapted human with the modern attention deficit of an online world — you REALLY want to know the answer — YESTERDAY.

The answer is within all of us. Search for it. Find it.

As a society — we are lost.

Thank you for reading.

I hope you found something shocking, beautiful, exciting, or confusing about this article, but I’m pretty sure nothing of an “absolutely”. But like I mentioned before, this one time, I don’t care.

This is the official end of this article.

Please clap only if it was worth of your time and hopefully it will also spark some thoughts that lead to a meaningful discussion.
