The 100% Society - A Matter of Political Science

"The 100% Society - A Matter of Political Science" is this: The Idea of the 100% Society

Opprettet av Terje Lea 2011-01-14 07:32:33 [CET], started as a blog posting.

In relation to the "100% Society", I think there are 2 major concerns. One is the justice system and how to achieve this society by what kind of regulation/laws. The other is how business is supposed to be organised everywhere in the world for people to be employed ( >95% or more ) and for rewarding profit and utility to be made along with it. I'll deliberate more on this as the days pass by...

100% Society: the business plan... I'm coming back to this, but it should already be clear that this is about symmetry of both competence and industry between nations all over planet earth (and other potential places as well). So how to do it? I'll think about it... Symmetry in this sense is understood as competence and industry divided over the nation's citizens. You can't assume that Belgium is capable of setting up everything from complete aircraft factories to assembly lines for spacecrafts and satellites and building aircraft carriers in the same breath. Belgium has only 10,8 Mill. inhabitants and it can only do this much...

100% Society: I've already written about the Data Storage Directory on my blog that I think should be implemented as part of this idea. There should also be sufficient possibilities to defend oneself by guns, tazers and pepperspray canisters. I would also let the Police do the necessary surveillance by video cameras either by possible harddisk review from scenery or by actual monitoring and control. The 2 options are both good. This surveillance should cover the most used places, the places by most people-traffic. One should also allow private people do their own video-surveillance of private space and property including estate-entrance. The rest of the laws can basically remain as they are. Social justice: I think it's fair to allow people who "fall through" a kind of safety net, an arrangement of benefits for the newborn/kids, unemployed, the disabled and the retired. This should secure decency and stable society (without desperation). I've yet to consider the definite divide between a kind of private arrangement and public arrangement, but there should be no doubt that the 2 can go well together, with the private option being more rewarding than the public one, especially in the scope of retirement. This should be mostly it. The other laws can remain basically the same. By guns, I mean primarily the handguns (I favour the pistols). I see absolutely NO need for automatic weapons in private hands except as part of the home-guard, possibly, but not necessarily. Today there are storage places all over the country (Norway) for the home-guard and the army and sufficiently so for preventing any Police State/Dictatorship to take place. Also by handguns, I'm thinking of the 9mms or some thereof as it provides sufficient "stopping power". Important remark: I've not implied a single, tiny intrusion on people's privacy, classically speaking, i.e., within your private space, at the loos, at the private meeting where ever, every private place and property, and also not in all public buildings. You're right, of course, potentially, I see every little inch of public space, "under the blue sky", as surveilled, but only potentially. (By response to Impenitent on the PN forum.)

100% Society: Everybody knows there are hidden and tacit business routines around the world even if OPEC remains the most open, I've already asked for the syndication of all primary industry like aquaculture, fishing, agriculture, mining and all else. This is for the betterment of workers in these kinds of industry simply. We already know that most agriculture is very organised in the "Western" world to the point where we can't anymore claim those profits are given by competition, but rather the reasonable demand from the industry itself due to expenses of making the agriculture go around and for the workers to receive decent salary. We should admit this elegance to the rest of the world, obviously for the same betterment of living and opportunities that we enjoy ourselves or those next door.

100% Society further: This is not all, however, we need to start out projects that evaluate what kind of diversion of industry over this same kind of symmetry is needed in respect to cost and opportunity for abolishing unemployment. This can easily be socialised and effectuated by import barriers to make the desired level of price of product and for giving the "right" (social) message to the exporting country that its prices for this particular product is too low for this area to be (safely) sustainable most importantly in terms of employment! This SHOULD be accepted by the WTO given that the members begin to agree on this kind of agenda that makes the symmetry formula to the world the norm/normative! I would be HARD on this issue, making a ferocious campaign if necessary!

Comment as precursor to the Idea of the 100% Society: I'll also write some on the "100% Society" in some time to come, both in response to Popper's political comment and to the much hated and paranoid Welles' "1984", according to myself. Much of "1984" is deeply unfounded, I think. And to be educated is also to seek rationality in others, thus this Police State regime is probably put away for ever. More later...

(This has first been written on the open group on Facebook by the name, Thoughts from mr. Terje Lea, 16.12.2010, 18.12.2010 and 20.12.2010.) http://blog.t-lea.net/#post119 I now find that the idea of The 100% Society now has grown so big that it needs its own text. This will continue to grow until all compilation ´has taken place and the idea itself has been completely desribed! Special thanks go to other people who, like myself (now, according to my text on descriptive science as minimum) have strong views about the political science as science in line with engineering ideas and other and not something else!

Greenspanism - A Descriptive Approach - Salutations to China in Africa!


The original formulation as written to Twitter:

The #Greenspanism is the following: you increase flow of money to the banks by lower ECB rates and allow deeper deficits while controlling the inflation. And inflation needs to be stable and this is done by keeping people working with "substantial/valuable" work, that is, the inflation. And inflation needs to be stable and this is done by keeping people working with "substantial/valuable" work, that is, NOT filling gas tanks with air just to release it again... No, they are to provide wanted/needed services and products and this is monitored by engineers and various other pollers, "signal people" while "having food on the table and housing is secured"! That should make the trick as we go to the work OF ALL THAT MAKES US HUMAN, regardless of what USA does! Because they want to do all, but we do it smarter and more generously/democratic, perhaps...! We'll see! Cheers!


Additional comment:

Of course, Greenspanism hinges on evaluation of market values and contribution to these ends. But this is not so complex as it may first seem, starting with the dairy businesses, and food making businesses, and TV and banking, and construction, other infrastructure, like telephone/IT... and so on... so you see that from merely /being/ a society A LOT of value comes into being "almost" by itself! It's just for you to fill up, fashion too, entertainment and the rest!

Additional comments, 2 and 3:
So as the inflation needs to be tolerable (starting highest, depending on development level and need for input of "liquids" into the currency system): inflation can thus be allowed every year to be 0,1 % - 10%, I suggest for a healthy system, but no higher and stable because there are supposed to be _no_ year over 10% (non-dogmatically, /can/ exceed if necessary). Deflation is by this a luxury problem, you just have that fine surplus to start thinking about!!!

Greenspanism: holding a currency policy active so that the necessary initiative is produced for banks and investors to invest or loan with (the appropriate/low) risk so that unemployment is most effectively combatted! All in all, the slogan is: the money is supposed to work for the people!!! (At least, this is the strategy I expect Alan Greenspan is going to be mostly remembered for in leaving a legacy to the World!)

All in all, nr. 2, Greenspanism is an investor aggressive central bank policy and should be managed carefully, i.e., the considerations of evaluating the suggestion on the table, that the investment opportunity holds enough "substance"/value!!!

A normal year, thereof, by empirical findings, fx. EU annual accounts of its members' budget deficits, and given full development, i.e., typically OECD countries, is something like 1-4% inflation, which is stable enough for companies and citizens alike! Cheers!
