100 times happier

100 times happier? Impossible? Possible. Very possible. If you are in a deep hole with no hope of rescue, you can be 100 times happier. We humans are in a deep hole.
Pay injustice causes violence, causes misery. We have super-extreme pay injustice. We have pay per fortnight from US$1 to US$1,000,000,000. Causing super-extreme violence, causing super-extreme misery.
Maybe you don't think this violence gets to you. Violence is localised, but it can pop up anywhere. Like lightning. And then there is violence pollution, the effect it has on your happiness knowing that there is super-extreme violence and misery out there, wandering about, striking suddenly. Feeling that this is the way the world is. Feeling that this is the way it will always be. Feeling that nothing can change it. Those feelings can't be good for your happiness.
We created super-extreme pay injustice, violence and misery. Therefore we can change it.
At the moment, governments write money into existence, give it to the banks, who lend it to people at interest. Writing the money into existence, increasing the money supply relative to wealth or workproducts, causes inflation. More money spread around over the same amount of wealth or workproducts, means everything costs a bit more. Means more people have to borrow from the banks. At interest. The repayments are greater than the loan. For house loans, maybe three times the size of the loan. So the government devalues your dollar, making you poorer, by increasing the money supply, by inflating the money, and then lends it back to you so you have to enrich them further by the repayments. So says Keynes, the great economist.
Why do I mention this? Because the same technique can be used for good instead of evil. If governments increase the money supply by say 1% a month, and put that money equally into everyone's bank accounts, it will automatically steadily smoothly quietly reduce pay injustice, violence and misery. It will reduce overfortunes, and increase underfortunes, reducing the anger at underpay, reducing the overpower of the overpaid, the super-overpower of the super-overpaid, reducing tyranny and increasing freedom and democracy, reducing violence and anger and increasing peace and friendliness.
How to get governments to do this, when governments are in the hands of the super-overpaid? Show governments the danger to them of super-extreme pay injustice, violence and misery. Violence gets everywhere. The super-overpaid have better security, but that is because they need it. And the best security breaks down. Richest individuals, nations and empires have all been attacked and defeated. Castles have fallen. Strongest banks have been robbed. The lives of the super-overpaid are full of anxious care, exhausting super-vigilance, justifying paranoia. The growth of war and weaponry has now suddenly jumped in 50 years from the power to destroy a city to the power to destroy all planet life. We suddenly learn that the use of 60th of the bombs we have will put up enough smoke to block out enough sun to drop the world temperature 25 degrees, three times colder than an iceage. Permanent global snowstorm. And pay injustice, violence and misery are increasing. Violence cannot keep on increasing forever without reaching the point where the violence will destroy all planet life. Even if all the atomic weapons disappeared magically overnight.
99% of people are now underpaid. So there is a 99% majority who want pay justice because it will increase their pays, and because it will destroy violence and human atomic extinction. And the remaining 1% will want pay justice because it will destroy violence, which reaches everyone, and human atomic extinction.
Therefore there is an almost unanimous human desire for pay justice. Insofar as humans are sane. But humans have been cursed by mother nature with many insanities. We all already want pay justice, in our sane part, but we will have to dominate and control our insane parts if we are to get what we want.
The insane parts are: denial, putting unpleasant things out of mind, putting our heads in the sand, leaving the hard realities to someone else to face, being irresponsible about our own happiness, not being realistic, not facing facts, cocooning ourselves in entertainment and hoping things will change without our mature input, kidding ourselves that violence and misery do not reach us, hoping unrealistically for the best, not getting down to work on our problems.
The problems are easily solvable, if we will nobly drive ourselves to look them in the face.
All we have to do is convince 4 billion adults that pay justice is good for us. Pay justice is very very very very very good for us. There are 4 billion adults to reach but there are 4 billion adults to do the teaching. If each one of us teaches just two people, everyone in the world will know in just 31 times the time it takes to teach two people. So the teaching can be done easily just by word of mouth. And there are all the communication means, and the talents of 4 billion adults to do the communicating. Look what communication was done with the film An inconvenient truth. By the efforts of perhaps just 100 people.
But there is a reluctance to embrace this far more valuable truth than the truth of that film. A reluctance hard to explain.
People seem to have a fatal attraction to pay injustice. Despite its misery and fatality. People seem to have a dislike of pay justice. Despite its tremendous happiness potential.
Is misery, disorder, vast deep unnecessary suffering, climaxed by extinction, the happiness of humans? Are we totally insane? Are we as insane as a person hitting themselves very hard with a hammer?
It is not hard to see that pay injustice causes violence. Money is good. Money is a joker good, good for all goods. Good for all necessities for life, for all desires, from biggest to smallest. So underpay is very bad, and having underpay makes people angry. People are slow to arise, but they have in the long run always overturned super-overpay.
Why are people slow to arise against overpay?
People identify with overpay. They think that if there is superwealth, that that means that they can be superwealthy. But the more super-overpay there is, the more super-underpay there is. People think that private wealth is public wealth. Whereas private super-overpay is public super-underpay. The pool of wealth is made by work. If some are allowed to take out more than they put in, others have to take out less than they put in. We have always allowed some to take out more than they put in. We have always been soft on wealth. We admire wealth. Our economic systems allow unlimited fortunes. Which is unlimited raiding of the pool of wealth. Bill Gates has been legally permitted to take out US$50 million a fortnight for every fortnight he has worked.
There is enough wealth in the world pool of wealth, of workproducts, for every family working average hard to take out US$75,000 a year. From which every family could, by saving US$25,000 a year for 40 years, retire with US$1 million. Instead, 50% of families in first-world countries have no net assets. Their debt is greater than their assets.
In order that 1% of people can be overpaid, can be paid more than the world-average pay per hour, can be paid up to a million times the world-average pay per unit of work, we have 50% of world families on less than 100th of US$75,000 a year per unit of work, 90% of world families on less than 10th of world-average pay per unit of work, 99% of world families on less than the world-average pay per unit of work.
Why are we doing this? It is not from thinking about it. It is from not thinking about it. Why are we reluctant to think about it? Does thinking hurt that bad? Thinking about it would quickly let us see that we don't want that. We don't want it because it puts enormous relative power in the hands of the few super-overpaid to run the world as they like, according to their obsessions and their super-over-selfesteem, using everyone as cattle, as cannonfodder. We don't want it because it makes 99% of people angry and violent. We don't want it because weaponry can now destroy everything living on the planet 60 times over, with global anger now super-extreme and growing. We don't want it because it makes 90% of people unable to contribute their talents and energies to the progress of science and medicine. We don't want it because it pollutes our world with enormous violence and danger, sufferings and tragedies, like wardeaths, concentration camps and genocide. And it pollutes our world with enormous quantities of untruth, lies and disinformation. And enormous quantities of uneducation and unnecessary ignorance. And happiness is totally dependent on truth, on realism and reality. And it is hard enough for we humans of finite intellect to get a grip on reality without the added obstacle of the disinformation generated by the war of overpaid and underpaid.
