What is Factory Earth? It could be a garden of communities;
it appears to be heading towards being a mass of warlord ruled garbage dumps.
We have a world of 7+ billion where over 5 billion live
on less than $10 a day, a world which is 1 big up Factory of waste run by managements focused
on management riches, on pyramids, pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes, with, by
the way, a few gardens of relative prosperity
for relatively few.

How do we make our world, Factory Earth, run more fairly
and more effectively and more efficiently?
With skills.
How do we acquire and nurture the skills we need?
With
education.
On Factory Earth 7+ Billion people deserve a decent life.
They need and want education for their young, need and want training so they're
able to do the work of Factory Earth, need and want their garbage disposed of
smartly, need and want their water safe to drink, need and want their sewage
properly treated, need and want a roof and walls against the local elements,
need and want clothing, need and want reliable and safe food, need and want
power for their lights and their washing machine and their frig, need and want
means of transportation, need and want their health care so they can enjoy life
with friends and family, need and want their retirement secure so they don't
have to work in Factory Earth till they drop dead at their post, need and want
methods of exchange, need and want fair and efficient methods of governing the
community, need and want LIESURE so more than the affluent get to see the Grand
Canyon or the Amazon or Antarctica ...
So far, Factory Earth
is 1 big messed up Factory of waste run by managements focused on management
riches, on pyramids, pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes, with, by the way, a few gardens of relative prosperity for relatively
few.
In December of 2010 I ran across 1 of these random reports
on the internet that the Prince of Wales has 149 staff, 25 of whom are
classified as 'personal'. It is mathematically impossible for 7+ billion people to each have 149 staff ...
think about it! Do we exist to be serfs, doormats, catch farts and cannon
fodder for some Master to live large, or
should be building the community so all have access to a decent life? We can
either a Factory Earth that works for all of us, OR we can all be working so my
Factory Earth Master has a bigger yacht/aircraft carrier/floating fortress than
your Factory Earth Master!
What is REALLY needed to get Factory Earth running well,
and to keep it running well, are the technical skills in biology, botany,
chemistry, physics, math, statistics, chemical engineering, civil engineering,
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer sciences, statistics,
finance, accounting, materials sciences, operations research, ... to build
Factory Earth into a well run and maintainable garden for ALL Factory Earth
inhabitants, even the snail darters.
How do we make our world, Factory Earth, run more fairly
and more effectively and more efficiently?
With skills.
How do we acquire and nurture the skills we need?
With
education.
(Psst... you need a knowledge of music, art, literature,
writing, philosophy, history, sociology, political science, ... to apply those
technical skills!)
