[MD] economic pragmatism

[Squonkonguitar at aol.com]

Gav, Mark, Platt, and others,

Don't you think  that if the population of the
earth wasn't as big as it is we wouldn't have  that big
of a problem finding a way to give free food, housing,
and all  these other basic necessities that have been
discussed upon this  thread?  Also, all the other
impacts upon this earth, which includes  human beings,
would lessen maybe... that doesn't mean trouble
disappears  completely.  By the way, a statistic that
fits into this that I heard  yesterday at an assembly
at my work.  80% of prison inmates were in  foster care
at one time or another during their lifetime.   That
astounds me.

Mark 19-11-06: Hello Gav,
I've given this some thought before i was ever  introduced to the moq  and 
the 
moq has provided a frame for looking at  this afresh.
Here is a starter:
First off, Humans are evolutionary  speaking animals, that is to say,  
biological patterns.
Therefore,  these patterns should be supported as a matter of  necessity.
1. All  biologically supporting requirements should be provided free: Food,   
water, health care, shelter, energy, and must harmonise with the   biosphere.
Note a: We need a Planetary population stable around a  sustainable  volume.
Humans are the basis for a culture of  social and intellectual  patterns.
Social patterns are imitated which  implies a form of indoctrination.
Therefore the best patterns for imitating  should be encouraged. These would  
appear to include the belief that 1  is basic.
2. Beyond that, caring for others, a distaste for violence, lack  of  
territorial boundary, the encouragement of realising individual  talents,  
provided 
free, and must not destabilise 1.
Note b: We need  a Planetary government which does not bias tribes.
Social patterns support  intellectual patterns.
3. Information must be a free exchange provided free,  and must not  
destabilise 1 and 2.
Note c: Religion must be replaced  by an appreciation of the  
undifferentiated 
aesthetic  continuum.
That's my basic framework around which an economic pattern may  be  developed.
Love,
Mark
