  • The rise of nation states produced national ruling classes. It would be odd if the current integration of the world economy did not produce new global elites, but with the vital difference that they operate on the global stage, far from mere national electorates. The empire is dead and already rotting, just no one has bothered to tell us about it.

  • My question is which nation state rots away fastest? The U.S. is not in the top 10 in this regard.
    The corruption and rot extends way beyond U.S. interests.

    This is a great read:

    "The Great Turning is an essential resource for those who understand this need and are prepared to engage what Thomas Berry calls the Great Work. It cuts through the complexity of our time to illuminate a simple, but elegant truth. We humans live by stories. We are held captive to the ways of Empire by a cultural trance of our own creation maintained by stories that deny the higher possibilities of our human nature—including our capacities for compassion, cooperation, responsible self-direction, and self-organizing partnership.

    Changing our future begins with changing our stories. A work already underway, it ultimately calls out for the participation of every person on the planet. The Great Turning points the way to the inspiring outcome within our reach. "

  • A "Perfect Storm" is about to unleash itself on the US and the rest of the world. Global warming's effects appear to be accelerating freakish weather patterns, more droughts, more floods, more hurricane and tornado activity, mean less predictable crops leading to mass migrations while the global population grows at a breakneck speed. An unsustainable energy policy and turmoil in global financial markets may just force a paralysis (as in Depression) on a global scale.
