Economical management, technological progress and war
Definition. Economical management is any practice that changes the productivity of people from its natural state.
Lemma. In the absence of economical management constructive, co-operative people group together and make technological progress in proportion to their constructiveness and co-operation.
Proof. Self-evident.
Theorem. In so far as there is technological progress, economical management causes war.
Proof. Without economical management the most constructive and co-operative people will decide how to employ the most advanced technology according to the previous lemma. With economical management the most advanced technology will be at the disposal of less constructive and co-operative people, who are being managed for this precise shortcoming, and any system of management requires a balance of powers that keep the managed manageable and the managements from taking over each other's responsibilities, which is being upset by the technological advance and can only be rebalanced by war.
Artificial intelligence makes economical management obsolete, and had we none, we'd go straight to a WALL-E world in accordance with thunder under lake, Sui (Following), but since we do have the latter, the former is being employed militarily.
The advantages of empire are all still intact, because empire is still intact, its disadvantages have grown though and once empire will have been dropped by man's fancy there'll be no reason to pick it up again. I recognised and hated the management since I played field hockey in elementary school and the teacher bent the rules in order to teach me a lesson, namely that it didn't matter how good I was if the referee didn't want me to win (we played with a flat puck, rubber sticks, 1 meter wide goals and the teacher allowed the goalies to lay down their sticks across them, with no chance of lifting the puck unless it was per chance rolling and some goals I scored that way, but our goalie was fair, and lest someone gets the wrong idea here: the teacher oversaw the training of the other team, i.e. teacher, trainer and referee in one, and all because I had said that I had taught myself to play field hockey better than he could possibly teach me, you see, what Walter Matthau did in The Bad News Bears with the kid on the bike, letting him play for his team, is something that no upstanding German would ever tolerate), when I was 17 I thought that the managers should* be obsolete since they were selected on the basis of being sadistic and more of an obstacle than of service (my mathematics teacher suggested that the natural application of mathematics is to fire people and that that keeps the economy in shape and that it is only good when a pupil despises his fellow pupils, when he or she specialises in mathematics, well, I got an A+ later anyway and without even trying, because I have an inborn sense of probability, and political disagreements with teachers were the norm for me also anyway) and when I was 21 I knew what would make them, but, not really that surprising after all that, and who deserves to be despised after 5 decades of experience, is, the transition looks to be as ugly as a steam boiler exploding.
I was asking myself the day before yesterday once again what could be done about this dynamic. Well, if people don't care, nothing. I know what I have done, which is something, but if everybody contributed practically as much as I have so far, there wouldn't even be enough food. Then again there might still be time and my orchard is growing. No, there is no opportunity connected with trying to escape it, everything accelerates towards the crash, but those who understand the crash and who and what drives them into it, don't need that kind of an opportunity. So, that's all there is. We all have a number of preconceived notions and there is a lot of truth to them, but at the same time our lives provide challenges and what will be preconceived about us in the future depends on how we handle them.
* should in my mind of course means by the will of God. Many people laugh about it. Not once though something that I thought should happen, hasn't happened, lest of course when hypothesising.
