Hi folks,<\/p>\n
…this week’s global run on credit\u00a0seems like a casebook example\u00a0of how a natural system failure to\u00a0provide growing physical returns on investment\u00a0would effect financial commitments for endlessly growing financial returns. \u00a0 They \u00a0naturally conflict.<\/p>\n
One thing we can do is watch it closely, so others may learn from our experience.\u00a0\u00a0 Because systemic collapse is\u00a0a big physical process in a big physical system, displaying all-together new kinds of rapidly spreading behaviors, watch for that.\u00a0\u00a0 If you see that sort of thing perhaps you’ll ‘believe your eyes and ears’<\/em><\/strong> and not feel the observations were ‘planted’ in your imagination somehow.<\/p>\n I’ve been using the mismatch between our unlimited economic expectations and their certain disappointment as a way to learn about natural systems and how they fool us for about 30 years.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s\u00a0remains\u00a0a rich and engaging subject.<\/p>\n In June I sent out\u00a0my first ‘system collision warning’ ever, initially in a post to the AIA\u00a0environment forum.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I said I\u00a0thought the surprise discovery\u00a0by the ethanol investors in May,\u00a0that ethanol couldn’t have the land they wanted\u00a0because milk producers raised the price,\u00a0signaled the tip of the growth system’s physical collision with the earth we’ve all been waiting for, ‘the big crunch’.<\/p>\n The same kind of\u00a0‘fishtailing’ in the steering mechanisms of the world economic system I observed then in the energy markets also seems clear in the rapid, large scale,\u00a0and indecisive maneuvering this week by financial institutions.<\/p>\n Just because growth expectations are fulfilled, even for hundreds of years, doesn’t mean it’s not certain that natural systems will fail them, and so our financial design that requires growth for it’s own stability is a mistake.<\/p>\n Hi folks, …this week’s global run on credit\u00a0seems like a casebook example\u00a0of how a natural system failure to\u00a0provide growing physical returns on investment\u00a0would effect financial commitments for endlessly growing financial returns. \u00a0 They \u00a0naturally conflict.
