See What Do We Really Want? — From “The Death of ‘Nature’” — Basic income — Medium http://buff.ly/1ORsh7R

Here’s what I want.

Basic income all around. We are at the end of the work charade. Money is owned by the wealthy whose work is optional. Sweatwork is about to be priced out of the marked by robots and automation. We need basic income to replace the demeaning welfare-charity syndrome with its rampant hypocrisy and phony concern. We can provide purchasing power for every human being. This power will keep money where it should be — circulating. When money moves it makes everything copacetic. All we need to do is rid ourselves of the last vestiges of the Puritan work ethic and accept that a level playing field is the right way to go.

Pristine skies. The Koches and others have made billions by poisoning the admosphere and poisoning the rivers. We cannot see stars anymore. We are automotons driving to and fro in cars that explode and get recalled. We are growing older and becoming less able to master the new vehicles. We do not need cars or sprawl. We can design a better world and win back the skies.

Our partner the sun and our friend the wind to provide us with a cost-free source of endless energy. These worthy constants have performed ten times better than anyone believed they would at the start of the century. There is nothing that says they will not become cheaper and cheaper as oil becomes dumber and dumber. The sun and wind will not be free but they wll be vastly better than the oil world we are watching die before our eyes.

SCOTUS to change so they will not give us W when we voted for the other guy. Politics in the USA has suffered a fit of sickness that has its roots in a thing called fear of the future. Such fear is paralyzing and it makes people suspicious of anything that looks as though it is actually happening.

SCOTUS to stop befouling our electoral system.

Secret harm to stop.

Lawyers to be penalized for lying.

We can enable any future we are crazed enough to suggest. We can exemplify it on our videos. We can rap about it in our lyrics. We can make it viral whatever that will do.

Who is we by the way?

Well we is those “we” forgive if we pray the Lord’s Prayer. That would be whatever we mean by we. I mean everyone.

We is very tough when you break it down. Most of my “we” are here no longer. We part the coil, as it were.

The mortal coil, I mean.

That’s one future we cannot enable unless we believe that what we do influences a life beyond.

If I could enable a future, it would not allow prisons to incarcerate more than those who have a daily itch to do harm to others and no way of restraining it.

This would presumably empty most jails. That would make for a better future within and without. Then I would turn the jails into psychosynthesis centers and set the jailed souls to discussing points with their sub-personalities and getting released when the negotiations succeed.

I don’t know what I would do about TV. Oh yes. Finish abolishing it. Putting it on my monitor, the one I am looking at as I type.

What would you do? That’s what this text is about. Not me. You. You being a writer. You being an actor. You being a thinker. You seizing the day. Pragmaticism is about cutting to the chase and the chase boils down to the conceivable. Conceive. You are almost there.

Under the influence of Charles Sanders Peirce, I have launched an idea called Triadic Philosophy. It is summarized in the Kindle book Triadic Philosophy 100 Aphorisms . A free sample can be accessed by clicking Look Inside.

Triadic Philosophy grew into several more books outlining specific methods of triadic meditation and thinking. “The Death of ‘Nature’ “ is among several follow-up texts that examine expressions of, and propose actions related to, triadic thought.
