Many people get annoyed when I tell them that 99 percent of world population do not understand the mechanics of the world, because they have no idea of abstractedness. This is also true for very intellectual folks like Habermas, GW Bush, Ronald Reagan, Putin, Obama and most of bankers, CEO and Dynamite Prize Holders.
Let's look into this problem of making distinctions between concreteness and abstractedness:
CONCRETENESS
Obama, GW Bush and Margaret Thatcher and Greenspan and Murdoch and the other wide over 99 percent of folks, pretend all the restricted time of their existence the following:
The planet Earth can be ruled on bases of concrete theories of philosophers and theorists of economics, like Adam Smith, von Hayek, Machiavelli, Kant, Darwin, Einstein, Keynes, Friedman, Popper, Sartre, Krugman, Habermas and some other thousands of "geniuses", recognized as such by ordinary folks and the Dynamite Prize Committee.
They all have written: Humans are the most important article on a given planet of the star SUN, we call for false reasons "EARTH". Therefore, our powerful and rich VIP and their scientists should apply some mechanics, like seeking the lowest production place for greatest cheapness, why not China or India, then transporting useless goods all over the world, go and destroy peasants business if producing 'too expensive', same for all workers in little handicraft villages.
False geniuses of concreteness
But when it comes to the Big Deals, conglomerates apply cunningly as crooks some intelligent IMF deregulation and WEF privatisation of Davos, Chicago neo-liberalism of Popper, low State interventions of Greenspan, increase growth like hell by Shock doctrines of Friedman, believe in the self-regulation of markets like GW Bush and his orthodox Wall Street Masters of Universe, use banking instead of brain, or insurance business of profit-making on risks instead of giving folks real security in daily life, invent Hedge Funds for Mafia brains taking profits from ordinary population bearing the costs and losses - and richness and wellness will increase by trickle-down like hell - and it did so exactly as predicted - for ALL folks on lovely Earth.
Obama like other idiots of CONCRETENESS believed like other stupids in such sort of Friedmanism, until the whole house of cards went down the drain. Now, the same wise guys believe in John Maynard Keynes' principles of intervention of State, throwing trillions of increased State indebtedness behind the criminal lost money in trillions, based on wisdom investment bankers from Wall Street, all CEO of banks in any country of the world, insurances craze with zero-value in their portfolio, dozens of car productions and plane fantasies of purest non-sense, when destructing energy, rest of resources and poisoning the air and all the rest.
Wide over 99 percent of average ordinary folks believed in the medicine of their Masters of Science-fiction, that took over power on the rule of "Democrazy = Dictatorship of dull majorities", until the future generations will see, that all has been a fake, did not help for our future, but worsened the situation from year to year, and now, all goes even faster down the drain, as if Obama and his disciples and other scrap of intellect including all the brainless rest, would have done nothing at all.
Concreteness in politics?
Forget it: Any concrete information out of Israel , USA , Germany , Iran , Russia , China is of absolutely no importance in view of development of the Universe. 9/11 of importance? Yes, if we look into superficial TV news and great newspapers. But a few Jews initiating a gigantic mess at Wall Street brought 1000 times more damage, due to starting a worldwide crash of economics, destroying trillions of Euro in savings and most probably leading to the collapse of systems like the one of globalisation and capitalism.
Whatever we read in papers or see in TV, most of the time, is almost of zero importance, even if all Folks talk about it for weeks. As long as abstractedness of humanity is not touched in ecology, economy and change in nature of the planet, we just take ourselves far too important, for thousands of senseless reasons.
Therefore, without applying ABSTRACTEDNESS, I am not in a position to explain, what happens in reality and why Obama Barack is not wiser and more intellectual than any GW Bush, Kissinger, JFK, Hitler, Stalin, Clinton, Ronald, Pinochet or Margaret. Especially Margaret, because----
ABSTRACTEDNESS
I pretend several times in my scripts that for ABSTRACTEDNESS, we can forget 100 percent of women and wide over 99 percent of men.
The reasons for Women
Females have learnt throughout their history, that the major thing in life are children, the family, society, feelings, conventions, the apparently real "functioning" of present matters, superficial laws about mechanics, for example for not losing security of the present in smallest circles. Result: Philosophies of the highest and theories on economics cannot be expected to come from women, neither an assumption that females would seize the errors and false lines of origin and effects about complex matters of their males.
The reasons for Men
Males have another problem: They are driven by greed and growth and power and cash. They want like Apes prove a whole life long that they can get more power and fortune than any other man or ape. By doing this, any thought of abstractedness would immediately put in question and thus stop his activities. And concreteness and pragmatism for these types of "makers", and they govern our world, function on so low an intellectual level, that I am ashamed to mention it. And this is also valid for all philosophers like Huntington , Fukuyama , Derrida and Habermas. Their theories are so weak that any man or woman can understand them without thinking twice---
Principles of abstractedness
I know that the fact, our planet Earth being to 100 percent dependent on principles of ABSTRACTEDNESS, is a theorem, almost impossible to be explained and seized, but I try by making an incomplete listing:
1. The Earth is a planet. It has restricted space, air, water, resources, energy. The Earth has a machinery of climate and weather, easy to be disturbed.
2. The Earth is a planet. It is light-centuries away from other suns and most probably, light-millions of years away of another planet that could have some sort of life on it. So, humanity is condemned to stay for ever on this little bubble, be they thousands in numbers or 20 billion.
3. The Earth should dictate to humanity, what can be done on its surface - not vice-versa. In other words: The Earth dictated ever laws of masses, of exhaustion, of limits of growth, greed, numbers, poisoning the air and water, bringing climate and weather out of balance, using up all easy reachable resources and energy stuffs. The Earth dictated the limits - and a "point of no return" for most matters was given from the start. Delavy wrote around 1975 in "ORAKEL 1995" sent to all Journals, that this point of no return was about the year 1975 - same saying being done now by the lazy "Club of Rome".
4. Humans believe that they can do whatever they please on this small Planet: Producing products like hell, such as cars and planes and cruisers and armies and wellness idiocies and traffic, and holocaust of animals, and casinos like Stock exchanges, banks, insurance companies with false securities - and nothing will happen. However, the major rule of humanity in economics is that humans will strive to get always higher in numbers, turnover, production, buying and selling, taking risks, increasing profits and getting hugeness by mergers. In short: Humans are idiots. Men are solely governed by greed and growth and profit-making - and females would marry and fall in love only with those idiots, who would be most successful in doing the wrong thing of concreteness.
5. There are other rules of basics in line with "Limits of doings, limits of stupidity, limits of profits" that only function (and this is highest accounting) when other lose the same amount of cash. Humans ignore: There are limits of applying money, for wars, torture, business in drugs, women, weapons, shares, U.S. treasury bonds, Mafia methods of supposing that U.S. folks, or Hitler folks, or Japanese folks etc. are the only with higher spirits. The contrary is true: Original indigenous folks, or black Africans, or poor areas in central Asia, or Red Indians, Mayas and Aborigines, were always nearer to survival and abstractedness, believing in nature instead of a humanly Gods, and therefore being less exposed to incredibly high stupidity - when in fact exposed to the contrary - assuming they would be geniuses of progress, wisdom and higher philosophy when living in deserts of Mega-towns without real life.
6. Major Rule: With a given number of folks and usage of killing technology and money-market, there is the formula: "Mass x Times = End of the Game". Not one politician, scientist, philosophers has got the clue yet of this new Law of Delavy. With 6 Billion and more of masses, even Jean Ziegler and his damn UNO should get: It is impossible to make species Homo non-sapiens survive. Impossible. And with 1 billion, it could have lasted for 200 years to the max - before end-times would have come.
Effect of these rules - and some other rules not mentioned here about Abstractedness
You all are all living on a huge TITANIC with millions as passengers, dancing on upper Decks whereas below the workers and peasants have in masses anything but an easy life - and down under, where there is no light at all, they starve and die during normal lifetime per millions by laws of masses and due to greed on upper decks - and the idiotic powerful and richest Americans and Europeans on the upper wellness Deck still laugh their heads off like hell - until TITANIC touches the Ice Berg --- and this was exactly around the year 1975, point of no return, at least for ECOLOGY.
For world's craze in ECONOMY, the final downfall based on limits of stupidity was prepared from 1990 to 2006 and then, another Ice Berg touched TITANIC and now, globalisation, capitalism and humanity can go down the drain for good.
But in POLITICS AND CULTURE, Obama Barack, Blair, Brown, Sarkozy, Merkel, Berlusconi, Putin, Hu and Wen, Singh - and some other brainless chaps have gained power by ordinary folks, pretending to be able to prevent the increasing disaster. And so, they sent another TITANIC, full of CASH into the Sea, in order to rescue the human Idiots, a Keynes Idea, sinking slowly into the cold, cold Sea high up in the North, sorry, South.
However, the bold Masters of Easiness "think" in terms of concreteness when being blind to the max and those low-mined children playing Hollywood' adults can't recognize that the TITANIC sent out 2007 to 2009, is already a complete Damage by Sea (Havarie) and sinking even faster than the rest - getting drowned at some miles from the shore near Washington--- Anybody said, stupidity would have limits?
Conclusion
Who wants to know more, has to read my books that are no longer in the market, because I am fed up of expending and losing money when the highest stupids on this Globe, the feuilletonists and critics in literature, can't see a hand in front of their eyes, since they have anything in their heads, except a well working brain.
I must be very short in such "Editors Letters". I simply can say know that without getting the true idea about the limits of thinking, of philosophy, of thesis or theorisms on economics, of growth and greed, not doing the right thing as mentioned in my book "10 Maxims for continuation of Life" - our TITANIC, in other words our planet Earth, our platform of living, will get lost and rotten within the next 100 years, before 2100, due to incurable collapses to come with regard to resources, energy, quality of air and water, climate and weather completely gone out of balance and not to be reversed with help of quadrillions of Dollars. And get it finally: Your children got even duller and anti-abstract, based on wrong lines of education, than their blind and over-satisfied parents were----
Well, well, well - you have now some matters to be reflecting on. But just don't do too much of intellect, it may disturb our quality of wellness in life - and anyway, your trial to start with abstract philosophy comes too late by at least 100 years. Not wanting to be worried, be happy? Throw this paper away!
Heard of "It will never be too late"? Just another fine fake like some "Principle of Hope" - or "Free will in conversion by the masses", the major project of Super-Star Habermas, based on wrong ideals of concreteness.
Men and women will never gain wisdom, if greed, growth and no mercy with "losers" and victims, minorities, animals, nature, oceans, future of all children to come, are accepted as the sole valid RULE of stupidity, by all of you, taken by error as a fine human game of higher intellect - as accepted by the famous wide over 99 percent.
"Who laughs last, laughs best" - this rather is some sort of higher abstractedness, I would accept as true saying. And remember well: Nothing was a law of God - all happened by Free will of humans - and now you have time to think about abstractedness of the term "Free will" - friends of concreteness and odd U.S. and European pragmatist philosophy.
