A reader writes me about this web. He affirms that we are just a 'bunch of commies', and our policies could only bring a new age of darkness and poverty... As I leisure invited by a rich friend on the real state business, in a yacht off the coast of a trendy Mediterranean island, observing the magnificent bodies of the passengers, meditating about the degree of coolness of this 'cuba-libre', I wonder what he meant. Have I stated in an improper manner our thesis? Or is it that certain people are so blind to the needs of mankind? Coming from America I believe our man enjoys enormously watching six hours of violent TV a day - he probably stores weapons at home to get rid of undesirables like me when a chance comes... But maybe he is an honest working man. Then he should enjoy the pleasures of civilized America: 2 hours of jam traffics to arrive to his Californian work place, where a companion robot at his side will manufacture 10 times faster whatever product he is making for a company-mother, that will soon put him on the 10% of customary get-out-of-here jobs, the 500 fortune companies mark in economical crisis like this one...
     Wouldn't he prefer to be just a writer, in a country that makes more homes than robots every year, as I like to be? I wish indeed a world full of homes and yachts...
      Am I a commy for that? I don't think so. But I am neither a metal-economist...
      But maybe I am too harsh on the life conditions of my friend. Let us then imagine, he belongs to that 1% of privileged stockrats of America.
      Then he will have other kind of companion robot now cleaning his home, whereas in the past there was a job for a Mexican cleaning lady... He might even enjoy that. The superior race, substituting the human one, from that inferior Spanish World. Or Spic should I say, as many in California refer to those they love to hate, just because they show their humanity more often? Since the robot will be silent and low-key, indifferent to our friend's tastes unlike the good-natured Mexican lady, he might do his thing at ease on the pornographic Internet with some web-cam, coming on virtual reality. Put there another hour of his life...
      Is he married? Maybe. Is he involved? I doubt it. If we were he would not dedicate his time to read a site he hates. He would be loving now, as I plan to do this night. But it is not his fault. Love has no price. And things with no price are systematically removed from the Item-lists of America, not to confuse as my friend does, with the American people, most of whom I am sure would enjoy being now with me, as I have enjoyed for many years the company of my American friends... But wait. She is bringing me another "cuba-libre". I think I will get drunk today, since I'm a sinner. What a pleasure to sin this way! Not with guns and spasms but with orgasms.
      Guns, pornography and violence are indeed becoming the goods of wealthy America. Probably around half of the American GNP is related to the weapons, informatic and violent, mindless entertainment industry. Those are indeed the goods we do not want to see in our European World - the only goods I would like to see produced with Communist, inefficient economical ways. Yet my books, the houses of my friend, this yacht, I would love them to have much more credit, detracted from the stock-market of chips... in a real free market, in which the demand, the goods people want would be re=produced, and cre(dit)ated - not those they hate.
      Already Mr. Keynes, probably the only intelligent abstract Economist of the XX century said that luxury yachts like this one are extremely positive for the economy because they are human goods, that employ a great number of human beings - as all luxury goods do - and keep providing employment of high quality, as those the captain of the Yacht and the service perform. Serving a human being for a fair wage, as serving a human god, or a human cause will never be degrading as so many Americans think. Serving a machine, will never be cool as many Americans love to do... Other goods I love to have. Health of course. Yet since I am not rich - those days the market does not credit books and webs like this one, I had to go the a public Hospital. I just now come from one, in this underdeveloped Europe, by American standards. I paid nothing, got my tooth cleaned, waited only half an hour. In America I had to put a 200 $ deposit on front to get my twisted ankle cured. Then I was sent a 1000 $ bill for services I never received, even 3 days in a hospital bed! When I came out with a meager bandage, and no crutches at all. Of course when I did not pay, the Hospital Go(l)d doctor called his cousin the Lawyer, that menaced me. My credit card was interfered... and I ending paying for a free service in any emergency room of the world... So I understand your anger my friend, but do not direct it to me. I am just trying to help those things not to happen in the future... Hum. She just touched me. She is a painter. It has a special sensitivity with her hands. What reminds me of other goods I love to have... I am also fond of art & literature. An amateur painter myself, and an avid reader, I have maybe 30.000 books in my libraries, on two small but cozy homes - why to have only one, if you can afford another by the beach as 1/4th of Southern Europeans do? Those books, have also given jobs to binders, writers, proof-readers, and photographers, professions which use minimal technology (after all a photographic camera is the simplest of all metal-minds) and a maximum quantity of human brain. But wait a minute, this guy is moving along with a tray. Let us try those marinated half-moon sandwiches. Of course I love healthy, Mediterranean food. While my friend might be eaten in a fast food restaurant processed hamburger meat from 40 cows - thanks god they are not still in America as their British relatives, mad enough to cause brain-diluting decease... I enjoy a wonderful Greek salad, with products of the land, and of course a bit of olive oil. A toast with this toast.... Hopefully I wont have to eat anymore 99 cents whopper meals on my life.
      You might know that olive oil is expensive. The olive plant is difficult to industrialize and grow in a month as other oils do. The sacred Mediterranean tree that my ancestors revered in the Eastern Mediterranean and I enjoy now in the West side, unifies Jewish and Arabs, Spaniards and Southern French, Greeks and Turkish otherwise not known by their sympathies. All of them however enjoy the wisdom and healthy effects of the millenary olive oil, which gives jobs to farmers, that have to beat up the trunks to get the precious olives.
      Latter in the night I will accompany A. my love, to her apartment, and among kisses and caresses, we will indeed make love in a room without Television, not to distract with zapping my hands from her zipper, and her much more softer skin-touch.
      Am I a cynical, you might think when millions of people die of hunger south of the tropics? An irresponsible behaving like a filthy rich pleasure-seeking man in the middle of so much chaos and tragedy?
      No. I am not. For the past ten years I have fought against those who like our friend revere weapons, technology and robotics, in other words all those lethal goods which will extinguish mankind, so different from the human goods. I have battled though against a wall. In 1994, when robotics could still be easily forbidden, and a supposedly humanistic president was in power in the World (which latter proved himself as cynical and anti-human as any other Lobist man), I went to America and ate my whopper meals, and lived in a small room, and posted and worked to explain bio-economics and bio-history to the American Intelligentsia. To not avail. I was talking of the chip radiation and the extinction of man by robotics in California during the 90s, but they as Mr. Bill Joy said recently only cared for the Go(l)d of dotcom. I even self-printed a book with my few resources, 'The Extinction of man', which scientifically proved the bio-economical and evolutionary laws that apply to machines, and how those laws will extinguish us if we do not stop that robotic III Industrial r=evolution. Of course I was not Mr. Bill Joy, and that was almost a decade ago. I was on top of that a foreigner, a European... You know how easy they call us pessimistic Eurotrash when we contradict the passion for destruction of modern American people... I even took some serious risks: I sent my book with introductory letter to the American military - after all I thought they are people with honor and care for the future of America... All what I got back were some death menaces. The funniest one from a man who signed "as long as I have a weapon your fate is not in the hands of God". I don't fear death though. Who cares about a little ego, a molecule of the organism of the real God=History, when the entire body of God, the body of mankind is dying? But I love life too much, I love human goods too much to bump against a wall once and again, when the wall does not want to move. So now I am taking the same risks from this lovely, sandy coast. If they come to take my fate, so let it be.
      One thing is for sure, my friend, the only people I did not write to were the old communist parties, which never understood anything about economics, or Evolution.
      Communism failed to mix the few good analysis that can be taken from Marx - his analysis of the cycles of overproduction of machines - with the evolutionary work of Darwin and Butler. So it failed to understand the top predator nature of lethal machines and lethal goods that destroy our bodies and brains, such as the weapons of the red army...
      On top of that by focusing on the struggle between the elite classes, the information class of human societies, and the lower, energy classes, most of mankind, Marxism diverted attention from the real struggle between carbolife and metalife, men and machines, that affects us all - as the cycles of Holocausts prove.
      People like Orwell or the anarchist movement understood that error well. Ecologists today understand it minimally. Those Marxist errors caused the existence of Stalin, the Red army, and a nation that spent 30% of its National product in making weapons and the rest in metallurgy, not in human goods, goods to consume. Only good thing it came from that system, was its inefficiency that despite their wantings, made the evolution of machines in communist systems far inferior to their evolution in Capitalist ones. So The industrial evolution of robotics that will displace man as top predator of this planet is now happening in California, not in Ukraine. That's all. No. I have never been a commie. I love human goods, I love to be human, I love food, words, sex, kids, friends, yachts...
      That is the core of the matter. What bioeconomics expects is the reproduction by private enterprises helped through a correct system of credit in favor of human goods men really need. It wants a real free market based in real demand by real human beings. It does not want a controlled system in which the invention of money is the privilege of a few people in technological stock-markets. A credit system biased and monopolized as today is, by technological companies, based in the offer of expensive lethal goods, that people are convinced to consume by ideological propaganda, advertising or brute force (in the case of weapons brought by economical wars). Exactly what every American would want if they had the chance to learn true economics, a chance their system of controlled information will not let them have.
      Even though it is better, in a world with more than a billion of undernourished people, to make butter than yachts, housing than art, in that real free market context I'm sure there would be enough of both.
      All of them are human goods that create jobs in a higher measure than any company-mother of machines does (they use far more machines in reproducing other machines than human workers, unlike human goods companies). Neither capitalism or communism ever understood the biological nature of lethal, top predator goods such as weapons and metal-minds. As I said, if any advantage communism had over capitalism was the stupidity of his economists, who also wanted to make tanks and iron bridges but were far less efficient than the Western World in doing so, and therefore advanced the evolution of machines by the economical ecosystem far less than America did.
      Human goods, food, crafts, art, education, housing, nature, free time, peace, luxury goods, can be produced either in a private market, or in a public company. What is needed is credit, and credit is what human goods do not have in our stock-controlled economy. All the credit is sucked in by a stock market monopolized since it was founded by the gunboat companies of Amsterdam, London and New York, by very few companies and individuals. It is not only a question of economics but of history, of a Go(l)d culture that promotes systematically all what is bad for mankind. As Plato or Buddha said, poverty is not the lack of goods, but the desire of goods which are not natural to man.
      I have of course no Robots at home, use a 10 year old computer, and drive a beautiful cabrio... from the 80s. Yet my cuba-libres are of a 7 years Havana Club rum, (curiously forbidden by the American government, that is by Lobbyists of the rival, far worse rum Baccardi), my girl-friend is beautiful, tanned and intelligent, my friends are mainly artists, and the health-care system of my nation provides every Eurotrash citizen with the adequate protection. Simple but fulfilling goods for the spirit, the body and the heart.
      What bio-economics asks for is not a state-riddle economy, but an economy in which human companies have the same privileges that today companies of lethal goods have through their control of stock-markets. This implies of course an international reform of stock credit to give those privileges to human companies and take them from Lethal technological companies. We have considered some of those badly needed reforms in our articles on Ethonomics. So my friend just read the web, and then think on what the world is loosing by believing dogmatic religions of the machine such as Communism or Capitalism.
      Believe it or not, we are in the 20-00s, and if nothing is done to change the eco(nomic)system, the 2000s will be like the 20s, the Happy? Decade that preceded, the 30s, the 20-10s. If we are still with you at that time, we will publish then another account of this Planet Earth.
