Growth is WAR.

Governments around the world are hell bent on growth.

Only 4% growth. How farcical. HAAHAHAHA!

Financial markets wait with baited breath for fake figures released to show signs of a countries "growth".
Two periods of decline and you enter a depression... oooh scary words. The world should be happy when this happens and take a sigh of relief.

When will the world realize you can't grow forever. Sustainability must be the answer.

A little case study.

Lets make a product.
How many competitors do we have? The answer is often "Who cares?"
So let's sell our "technologically superior" product and get market share.

If we capture a large portion of the new innovators and start a phenomenon, we are set, and start to profit financially and politically with real power.
Then we expand to all the countries of the world. (Notably a finite number)
Eventually covering the world reaching billions of people creating an ARMY of supporters and Nations of Slaves..<--- more later.

But the stock holders are still not happy with our 1000% growth.
They want more. WTF?  hang on...

You have become so-called successful but you still need to grow? Why? Greed? Stupidity? Why? Because success is only based on Money and the spread of an "antiquated but accepted methodology" that fits into the too hard to change category.

So lets "buy out, take over, force out, dominate, restrict" all of our competition. It's the only way to get bigger. Pretty soon you are a monopoly,

but the stock holders are not happy.
They want more. WTF?  hang on...

You expand more taking over related companies, Manufacturing Plants -> Shipping -> Electricity Supply

Soon you become bigger than most smaller countries and you own entire towns that your employees work and live in.


but the stock holders are not happy.
They want more. WTF?  hang on...


No one is happy with 1,000,000 % growth. WTF?  

Because now you are not satisfying the company. You are satisfying the country and ultimately the world. The citizens depend on you for employment and support as well as the products you provide.

Your company (along with many others) becomes an indispensable asset for the COUNTRY so the country starts to support it and tax payers unknowingly pay for these companies to expand as they employ more and more of the countries workers.

It's an endless cycle. It may start with a small idea from one person, but it ends up being a government supported organisation. The logical progression would be for the most successful company to take over running of government services and eventually the entire government itself.

The meager product becomes a nation. WTF? hang on!

Another countries alternative product (and it's support of allies) soon becomes the driver for financial and territorial wars.

Should we go to war to defend a phone or a TV channel? WTF... hand on?


What am I saying? I am saying...

GROWTH is NOT a good measure of success. It logically leads to defense of territory and outright WAR.

Dream on careless society. Sleep tight.
