Nature's Little Helpers.

OK thus far my left wing stance has railed against the wanton greed of the financial sector as they strip mine our economies into individual pockets. It has seemed grossly unfair, but a recent report on our abuse of the planet makes some sense of it. Above or below our consciousness there are factors at play not immediately obvious to it. We are being plunged into austerity and we don’t like it. We are used to growth, jobs, wanting and getting, it seems like a birthright and we won’t of our own volition change it for a more meagre existence. We would think it retrograde. But if in our system of wanting and getting we create super specimens who can absorb impossible amounts of that system’s fiscal currency they will suck the system dry of its life force. It will die back as naturally as leaves fall in autumn. And as these individuals can’t use much more of the planets natural currency than any of us, however big their yacht, the planet’s currency will recover as our wanting and getting dwindles. It becomes a transient bubble of aberrant consciousness that nature, above that consciousness, brings back into line. In essence we are being saved from ourselves by financial greed causing the austerity we are objecting to. Only by this process will we reduce our usage of the planet’s resources by ~50% as is necessary for it to recover. It’s our choice as to whether we consider this a hardship or a blessing. So thank you billionaires for doing nature’s work. Strange how things work out.
