How Did WE Become "Human Resources"?
How Humanity Will Overcome The Market Doctrine
Many people have not yet realized that we are in full Dystopian mode and will not consider the possibility as long as they still can afford a roof and groceries. They also still have in mind what they have heard countless times — that Capitalism lifted millions out of poverty. But the big picture tells a different story:
The global debt bubble is about 315 trillion dollars. and 44% on the planet lives on 6 dollars per day. Capitalism is a cruel illusion.
Competition is not for humans because they can think far ahead, and the future cannot be controlled unless extremely coercive means are applied. We have explained this in a previous column. Unfortunately, indoctrination runs so deep that people will defend the system no matter what (as long as they can pay their bills).
Only a total collapse will lead to a paradigm shift. It does not need to be this way, but the Collective Ego fears happiness as economic servitude has ruled for over 5000 years already. Genetic memories have been passed from one generation to the next, and we all carry within the deep wounds caused by a lack of freedom.
A competition-based system forces everybody into survival mode, and ultimately, selfishness still rules. Without competition pushing for endless growth, money isn't worth much anymore because the economy would look like a flat line. Boom (and bust) cycles can only be orchestrated by a central authority. Even under the Gold Standard, the world has known terrible crashes and financial panics as the result of collusion at the top.
FLASHBACK
We have to go back a hundred and twenty years to understand that the rise of Capitalism, as we know it, is anything but organic. Most would scream and argue they have the free will to buy whatever pleases them, but this is untrue.
Manipulating the minds of large crowds is much easier than fooling an isolated individual.
Some top market analysts at the time quickly understood that demand had to be engineered to meet the market's needs. In turn, goods were required to be promoted heavily, and consumers had to be given the means to buy them.
Radio and, later on, TV helped the results surpass expectations by far.
The advertising industry and access to credit cards soon appeared and engineered a mega economic boom after WW2 in America and Europe. Consumers were smitten and felt compelled as they could have a higher living standard.
The appearance of living richly became quickly assimilated with social success. Not to mention that more and more women had joined the workforce, and households with two salaries could borrow even more. As affluence roared, advertising invaded our lives from all fronts and subjugated the consuming addicts.
We could say here that consumers began to identify themselves with their possessions insidiously. The Market had become religion and money is its sacrament.
Our six senses will only respond to what the Mind is ready to accept, and the current framework works against social awakening as it is designed to keep the dynamic polarized and make people trust that Market Religion is the only concept possible.
Many will ascertain that the implementation of Capitalism is the best ideology for an advanced society and will castigate any other concepts such s as Socialism or even Communism.
The most troubling thing is that people who claim to understand economic dynamics contend that if centralization is eliminated, things will return to a better equilibrium.
This couldn’t be further from the truth because the role of money is to centralize society, and that means that centralization can only lead to an Oligarchy embracing either collectivism or fascism, which are extreme polarities of the political spectrum.
On the Socialist side, the same rhetoric is held against Capitalism, which equates to fascism. By sustaining these two polarities, the Market Religion manages to work its way through and indoctrinate both sides evenly. Capitalism and Socialism have misled us for over a century. No matter the angle we choose to look at the picture, both sides have hidden their deep flaws by promoting jobs as a solution to fix their respective shortcomings.
But employment, too, rests on avid consumption. As long as people feel they can continue to indulge in spending and inflate their egos, trends remain on the upside. That means that if you look closer, there is very little difference between Socialism and Capitalism. Without competition pushing for endless growth, money isn't worth anything anymore because the economy would become a flat line.
But how long can the Market Religion of never-ending growth last?
And the plot is very well documented on the internet. But here is one of the links that we came across and which we found the most enlightening: We recommend BBC’s How The World Embraced Consumerism to familiarize yourself with Victor Lebow's and Gustave Le Bon's theories. Lebow claimed back then that we need things consumed, burned up, replaced, and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate. While we are at it, let’s not forget Edward Bernays’ classic 1928 book “Propaganda,” and “The New Economic Gospel Of Consumption” by Edward Cowdrick as well.
All were the most leading corporate thinkers at the time and worshiped by Wall Street: we owe them our current state of affairs.
So, what is the next step in our so-called capitalism?
We will not expound on that today, but please read our past columns on General Intelligence. With AI taking over Hedge Funds and algorithms replacing Wall Street Insiders, we must brace for the worst.
Ten days ago, the AI race gave us a glimpse at its upcoming reign of terror. The last thing we need is the fight for Market Religion Supremacy because, at this stage, consumers have become the goods, currencies, and data, as Jacques Atali’s video explains in our previous column, Pondering The Toxicity Of Competition.
This AI race has already erased $600 billion in market valuation and caused a loss of 1 Trillion. CNN writes that Meta last week said it would spend upward of $65 billion this year on AI development. DeepSeek already had a $1 trillion impact — and it's just getting started. We recommend this CBS video to add to your perspective.
From there, it easy to grasp why the WEF is looking forward to implementing its “You will own nothing and be happy” agenda that will require social credits and consumers’ behaviors to be traded amongst AI’s highest bidders.
Money cannot become an extension of ourselves, or it can have disastrous consequences. On the contrary, it is seeking to increase the “value” that got us to the brink of the precipice. That’s the dilemma in a nutshell. Profits can only be generated if we endorse the spend-or-die and endless growth mantras.
But what if the conditioning to spend ever further to keep our jobs eventually vanishes?
THE COMING PARADIGM SHIFT.
There is an alternative, and moving forward, our Newsletter will emphasize solutions rather than describing a sick and unfixable system that is now on its deathbed.
The alternative is to create a new system based on benevolence and render the old one obsolete. The transition will still require the use of currencies. However, as we progress into this uncharted territory called a Decentralized and Benevolent World, currencies will lose their grip and be slowly replaced with Cooperation.
Money would cease to be regarded as fundamental to the economy, and helping our fellow humans would take over very quickly. Compassion and empathy would become the driving forces ruling the planet. Peace would finally triumph!
We have come across many people who regard this Benevolent Model as quite similar to what WEF is trying to implement. Still, people seeing it this way have not — or cannot — wrap their minds around a society without coercion and punishment. Such mindsets are still very dependent on having an authority overseeing the whole, and they are, in general, very pessimistic about a mass awakening. They also assume all this because they are still responding to the indoctrination of Market Religion that has prevailed for so long and has sustained a widespread distrust about fundamental human nature.
The human condition cannot and does not equate to Human Nature.
The fact is that if you throw money at people and tell them that success is getting a lot of it, humans will then show their worst character traits and will tend to confirm that the human condition is indeed greedy and destructive. Such a conclusion will remain unchanged if we ever allow social credits to be imposed upon us. As a species, we need to overcome the fear and distrust of others to understand that there is nothing to fear but fear itself
There lies our salvation.
In the future, we will also explore the “ownership rights” invented by those with the advantage of owning more than the average population and which works in favor of the wealth accumulation syndrome. When you look back, way back, at the very beginning, the planet did not belong to anybody.
The very idea of owning land came along with the realization that some lands have more natural resources than others. One more reason why the Benevolent Society is in favor of Planetary Stewardship.
Any form of coercion aims to control and can only lead to the same Oligarchic Paradigm.
It is also crucial to note that the more knowledge advances, the more humble we must become because, in the end, the more we learn, the more we also realize there is so much more to know.
Therefore, human evolution must remain as flexible as possible and cannot be based on monopolizing competing consensuses by forcing society into fabricated divide-and-conquer fake narratives. However, such a trajectory can only be implemented with money or by transforming human beings into currencies. We will develop this aspect in future columns.
It is a metaphysical aspect that the Market Doctrine still refutes purposefully.
