I find it interesting to view this entire process as an interesting game in how humans go about redistributing units of wealth across the planet.
The entire process, the mechanisms currently installed to initiate “wealth distribution” has become so incredibly convoluted and obfuscated (intentionally so, I might add) that it’s easy to lose site of the fact when you really boil this process down to its most primal level, it’s just about how one individual, group, or organization goes about getting (or stealing if they can get away with it) more gummy from their neighbor. It’s all based on an illusion that there are a fixed number of gummy bears in the BIG POT. As such it behooves you to acquire as many gummy bears as you can before your neighbor does the same to you. Well… we are competitive creatures by nature. On a monthly basis, I play a board game called “Game of Thrones” with my friends. It's based on the popular George R.R. Martin books and spin-off TV series. I feel fortunate if I can make it through the afternoon without my cattle being raped. It is perhaps naive of me to believe this but it remains my hope that as our society continues to evolve in the direction a highly networked, responsive global civilization more and more of the population will begin to clearly see the abject hypocrisy and injustice all these little gummy bar games we now perform against each other does. We will begin to see how such self-serving injustices induce great harm upon on vast swatches of society and end up needlessly devaluing many of their ability to make incalculable contributions to the common good. I suppose I sound like an evil socialist, or worst, a communist. However, in my view, as technology, robotics, and AI continues to advance, robbing many of us of our jobs and identities, it may turn out to be the case that some form of high-tech modernized communism that revolves around enforced distribution of goods and services amongst all the population will eventually be recognized as the fairest and most humane. It will ensure the fact that we all get the essential basics of what need in order to survive in a modern civilization. It will ensure that all of society benefits, and not just those who know how to play the Game of Thrones game board better than their neighbor. If not, I will probably end up being repeatedly raped along with my cattle. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson OrionWorks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
