Here’s a Key Idea for understanding the current financial crisis in the world.

Would that the big guys in power would listen to reason a bit more, figure out core truths, and implement strategies that enhance core truths.

I watch CNN daily and so keep up with the informed minds of their key reporters. Here is my take on the current situation.

THE ARGUMENT FOR THERE IS NO REAL MONEY CRISIS

• When we see the stock market go down by what for the stock market people is, are, alarming numbers like 7% in a day, was is this not a serious issue like the finance ministers and investors like to make out?

Because:

• the decline in the stock market is natural to the ebb and flow cycles of any life process
• the KEY CONCEPT really is: is the decline in stock market values less than the gains over the past five years, say?

The Big Guys with money complain about the fall in value of their stocks, including pension plan managers for workers organizations like unions. Well, in fact over a ten year period many investors have made BIG PROFITS in their stock market investments due to inflated values of stocks over real values of the companies, governments and corporations that issue those stocks.

INFLATED VALUES occur from the stock market itself.

REAL VALUES occur from the productivity in real terms of the companies who issue stocks.

Thus downward turns in the stock market represent mostly the ups and downs of of the INFLATED VALUES due to the stock market general rise.

• TODAY’S CRISIS IN THE STOCK MARKET IS DUE MOSTLY TO THE FALL IN INFLATED VALUES OF STOCKS THEMSELVES, AND NOT DUE TO REAL VALUES OF A COMPANY’S PRODUCTIVITY.

The world is not in a productivity crisis. The world is doing very well, thank you. Don’t measure the world’s economy based on INFLATED VALUES due to the stock market itself.

Do measure the world’s economy based or REAL VALUES, called also here, PRODUCTIVITY VALUES.

Now why don’t any of the Big Boys point out this fact and calm the minds of the decision makers, large and small?

• Is there a conspiracy to excite the minds of the productive nations so as to undermine their productivity and their wealth?

We don’t answer that question here because we don’t have facts. Why don’t we have facts?

Because no one in media is making the distinction between INFLATED VALUES and REAL VALUES.

THE LITTLE GUY IN ALL THIS – WHAT CAN WE DO?

Maybe not much. Here is another world principle:

WORLD PRINCIPLE NUMBER ONE:

• Events and processes of the world happen to a far greater extent than humanity’s power to control those events.

WORLD PRINCIPLE NUMBER TWO

• The only way for humanity to have a reasonably safe and productive environment is to adapt to the WORLD PROCESS happening all the time.

COMMENT

This means that rather than seeking to control the WORLD PROCESS, organizations and decision-makers for humanity should seek to continually adapt to the WORLD PROCESS as it is happening.

In the reality of direct experience there is no other way!

FOR THE REST OF US

• Work at jobs that are based on real productivity and not artificial values
• When a financial system seems to be failing it is their inflated values structure which is failing, and not necessarily their productive system that is failing
• Work a jobs of real productivity value, such as those that produce real productivity value, like food production, needed health services
• Don’t work at jobs or build businesses based on the INFLATED VALUES SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY, such as travel agencies, piloting planes, selling stocks, sales of extraneous goods, making extravagant goods such as expensive clothes, cars and other stuff people don’t really need in the numbers they are manufactured at
• Dress simply, even if rich like Oprah Winfrey, who makes millions and also makes herself an example of getting rich and living a rich and exploitive life style, despite her “good works.”
• If rich, join humanity and live a simple lifestyle with no extravagance, putting your surplus wealth all into projects that help the advancement of humanity as a whole, because as a whole we are all equal inheritors of the earth and the earth’s resources
• Don’t invest in the INFLATED VALUES sector, such as the stock market. Put surplus money only into organizations and processes whose productivity is based on real value, not inflated value

This last point means invest in land, little farms of organic produce, low cost housing for ordinary income people, small businesses that give good value locally to the people, research that aids humanity.

• Invest your surplus money only to keep up with inflation rates, and not to make artificial profits. Don’t support the stock market, a great deception on humanity because it takes part of the world’s productivity and extra cash and converts it into a non-productive, non-real system for artificial gains in value.
• Real value gains in an economy are based or real productivity based on real work that benefits the world rather than exploits its people and resources

COMMENT

No more hundred pairs of shoes. No more than one small house. No extra cars, only one per person at the most, preferably no car transportation at all eventually. No methane producing cows who are poluting the world. No wasteful heating. No wasteful production. End all making of plastic bags used only once. No stock market. Accumulate and lend money at reasonable rates that equal inflation rises only plus a small service fee. No profit making on any medical services! Doctors and business people deserve no more money than any other worker. No individual billionaires or even millionaires above one million, if even that.

OUR RESPONSE TO WORLD CRISIS

• try to understand the news of course
• realize that news media generally present the dominant view of society, and not necessarily the truth in fact or perspective
• seek sound principles and practices to live by, like the distinction between real value work and inflated value work
• don’t seek to become rich, which is almost always due to exploiting others
• as an individual and group seek to live an ethical life based on ONE-WORLD, HUMANITARIAN VALUES
• don’t do power games at home or in society in which you seek power in order to dominate others with your attitudes and supposed values
• don’t fight or support wars. Wars are exploitative, dominating, horribly destructive to members of humanity and their societies in lives ruined and world resources destroyed
• do support conflict resolution practiced daily in all aspects of local and international society
• don’t favor yourself over other members of your group
• don’t favor your group over other groups
• don’t favor your society over other societies
• don’t favor your country over other countries
• don’t favor the exploitation of the world and its resources and peoples over the protecting and enhancing of the world and its resources and peoples

PLEASE CONSIDER THESE AND OTHER FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND COMMIT TO PRACTICING THEM IN YOUR OWN LIFE AND ORGANIZATIONS.

COMMITMENT TO VALUES AND PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES THAT WORK IS A DECIDING POINT IN ONES LIFE BECAUSE IT INCREASES ONES EFFECTIVENESS AND PURPOSE IN LIFE.
