  Oh. That was simple.

I've been puzzling over this for a while. Came together today.

Questions: Why do economists love Free Trade? Why do EU/US/UK politicians hate borders? Why do bankers love ZIRP?

All lead to the same answer.

Let's start with WalMart, which covers two of those questions, and let's start with a good old water analogy.

Economists like to ASSUME a world with no borders. An endless flat sea, populated by resources and critters. I'm not trying for a good analogy here; this is just setting up a basis for the larger point. So I'll make the model super-simple, as economists do.


Businesses and customers = Plants and ducks. Plants use sunlight (resources) to manufacture edible material, and receive 'payment' in the form of duck poop. Ducks eat the plants, reproduce, and poop. Sunlight is the energy input that keeps everything going.

What happens when you plop down a WalMart barge in the middle of all this?


By the economoid linear model, not much. There's still an infinite amount of sea surface available. Some plants and ducks are squashed (ie Creative Destructioned); others are displaced outward (ie Innovative Disruptioned); reproduction and migration quickly refill the area around WalMart. All ducks are identical, so no problem.


WalMart then does its thing, sucking up huge amounts of water and sending it off to other parts of the sea. No problem. For an economoid, a TBTF monopoly is just fine. In a linear model with an infinite universe, big and small are effectively equal. Everything just slides around to restore equilibrium.

Unfortunately this infinite linear model has ZERO connection to reality. WalMart doesn't plop down in an infinite sea. It plops down in PONDS that have BOTTOMS and BORDERS.

What really happens when a WalMart plops down in a real pond?



Plants and ducks are squashed and thrown onto the shore, where they die.

A few remain around the edge. The barge obscures most of the sun, so the ducks and plants have to depend on WalMart's leftovers. Sooner or later WalMart sucks up all the water. It turns off. The whole pond is now dead and UNRECOVERABLE.



Key point:

Reality is ponds.

Reality is finite and non-linear.

Even in the real ocean, each type of critter operates in a limited range of depths and conditions. The model of infinite surface and frictionless migration is lethal ratshit.

In a real pond, everything is DIODES with a TANH transfer function. Everything is ADAPTED to the conditions in THIS pond.

WalMart kills many of the ducks, and those ducks are NOT restored. One-way valve. Even after you remove the WalMart, those ducks are STILL DEAD, and there's no way to replace them. If you try to haul in Dreamer Ducks from other ponds, the Dreamer Ducks will have differently adjusted epigenes. They will either die out or eat the native ducks.

= = = = =

Back to the original questions.

Why do economoids and govts eliminate boundaries? Because their murderous theory requires it. Linear models only "work" in an infinite frictionless universe.

Why do economoids love ZIRP? Because ZIRP eliminates locally controlled money-ponds. Normal interest rates are an automatic set of feedback loops, creating Tanh patterns among businesses and consumers. When a business wants to eat the whole pond, interest rises, causing the business activity to saturate at a finite level, long before the pond is used up. ZIRP eliminates the negative feedback, allowing the greed to run up the curve much farther, appearing to be a linear increase for a while. Eventually the business does eat the whole pond, and then it dies suddenly, leaving NOTHING behind.

In simple terms: Properly maintained ponds (and analogous devices) are the key to civilization. Ponds store water, smoothing out Nature's rain cycles, leveling off changes before they reach the one-way diode point. Ponds allow real critters to form communities without outside interference.

Anything that increases ponds will improve civilization. More dams, more ponds, more fences, more root cellars, more grain elevators, more local currency, more local co-ops.

All the actions of our monstrous elites are aimed at eliminating ponds. No storage, no borders, no smoothing, no fences, no feedback loops. Without those civilization-makers, we all have to depend on the big barge to toss scraps over the rail. We fight for the scraps. The aristocrats in the barge LOVE to watch us fight.

This tells us that our monstrous elites are ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATION AND ENEMIES OF NATURE.
