I have completely changed my life focus over the last two years. No longer am I trying to make money. Now I am trying to make art. And through art, I am hoping that my heart and mind opens so that I am able to see the solution to our world organization problem. I want to reorder the world so that we don’t NEED money any longer. I seek a solution.<\/p>\n

I am not alone in this.<\/p>\n

The hard part is not figuring out where to go. I know where. No money, no military, no borders.<\/em><\/strong> The hard thing is finding the path to get there.<\/p>\n

Now that I am 50, I am firmly looking for that path.<\/p>\n

This is not an ‘optional’ thing for me any longer. I must find that path. I am on the hunt. Others are seeking as well. We will find it. Of that I have no doubt.<\/p>\n

Why Economics Failed<\/a><\/p>\n

From the Comments:<\/p>\n

We didn’t use the economic knowledge we had because most MBAs don’t “get” macro-economics.<\/p>\n

We must remember… the ‘masters of the universe’ were turned out by our Nation’s elite schools… many of the ‘best minds’ were drawn away from more utilitarian educational directions like green engineering, sustainable urban design, reclamation technologies, and biosciences… because the money was WAY better.<\/p>\n

Who listens to the voice of reason… when extravagant wealth seems to flow directly to those who turn a deaf ear to it?<\/p>\n

Here’s the catch… our economic system does not respond well to human ‘wisdom’. Sure, the ‘latest scoop’ can help us invest in a timely, profitable manner… but human wisdom desires sustainability, peace, low stress lifestyles, free range sociability, pure healthy food, climate stability, etc, etc…<\/p>\n

And the most profitable investments often rely on avoiding this very same human wisdom… because we still believe in the superstitious nonsense of a hidden hand directing our supply side economy to the best possible outcome for everyone.<\/p>\n

What if meritocracy meant that those who ‘looked after’ the flock in humanity and the earth deserve the most recompense… and those who were in it for themselves… were… less fortunate.<\/p>\n

We could work towards it!<\/p>\n
