The crucial point - on which hangs whether humans survive and get far greater happiness or don't

Humans are blinded by their sight. They see part, not the big picture. They see a golden tail, and take it home, well pleased, and go to sleep, and wake up and find a tiger in the house. They see benefit, and do not see the downside outside their viewframe. The benefit also makes them not want to see the tiger attached. They see wealth, formed by nature's bounty and human work, and grab some. The more they succeed in grabbing, the more they like it. Yet if anyone grabs more than their equal share of nature's bounty plus that wealth produced by their own work, there is a shortage for others. Which produces violence. Which ever-grows, as both sides try to prevail. And wealth is power, power to grab more, faster, more easily. So inequality, pay injustice, unfair shares, grows, exponentially. Humanity is like a situation where one person takes the goods of 1000, and thus has a. merely 1000 times more than he can use, b. 1000 enemies [detractors, eroders] instead of 1000 friends [supporters, protectors]. Both the one and the 1000 are less happy. And they are set up in a mechanism that grows inequality, violence and unhappiness. So it has been over the last 3000 years or so, since the creation of trade and money. It is hard to save wealth when wealth is perishable. We have gone from equality to an inequality factor of one billion. The ratio of highest to lowest pay per year's work is one billion. The highest yearly increase of fortune is US$30 billion. The lowest is around $30. We have grown war to world wars, cold wars, genocide, death camps, and weaponry to 60 times PDC [planet death capability]. Thanks to technology, we have increased our power to kill 60,000 times in 50 years, from power to kill 100,000 in one day to power to kill everyone. We have concentrated violence by a factor of 250 in the last 200 years, from a day away being 50 miles to being 12,500 miles. Like concentrating a gas, raising the temperature. The tiger has grown enormously. We face a century in which population will go to 100 billion, topsoil will go to zero, oil will go to zero, and third world wealth will go to 90% or so. Third world wealth is 51% now, and is growing 10% every 30 years, probably with acceleration. The tiger is still growing, and at a tremendous rate. The hunting mentality is still strong with us. To catch is good, to catch much is great. There is enough wealth for every worker, including housewives and students, who also work, to be paid US$40 an hour, $100,000 a year. In other words, every worker is producing around US$40 worth of goods and services every workhour. World income is $300 trillion a year, and there are about 3 billion workers, including housewives and students. Plenty, and peace. With progress 100 times faster; because 90% of the scientists we have are tied up in the violence, in the military-industrial complex, universities, business, legal system, hospitals, and 90% of the scientists we could have are too poor to become scientists. Those with the greatest energy and drive to be at the top, those with least sense of enough is a feast, those with the strongest emotional needs to be on top, those with least sense of the downside of having much, govern us. Every empire has plundered and been plundered to death. Every plutocracy has fallen. Money is the second greatest power, the avidity of those who desire to be at the top is greater. Every heap of wealth is under perpetual attack from rivals, and the finity of every heap bows every time to the infinity of attack. Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown. Inequality is good for no one. None enjoy unless all enjoy. People are too dangerous to annoy. The belief that people are doormats is incorrect. Overpay cannot add more to satisfaction than fairpay can, because bodily desires are limited. The disadvantages of underpay and underpower are obvious, the disadvantages of overpay are extreme. Obviously, a community in which everyone works, and produces plenty, can be made very unhappy, without destruction of goods, by extreme misdistribution. We are all very unhappy relative to what we could be. Equality can be attained without downside, with enormous upside, in two generations by giving everyone equal shares of a 1% per month increase of money supply. Inflation is not bad when everyone gets a share. Paying everyone, the 1% overpaid and the 99% underpaid, saves the enormous bureaucratic cost in money, time and labour in distinguishing the two. Also, we can make everyone heirs of large deceased estates. The private heir has done nothing to earn that money. Everyone has done everything to make the goods that the money represents and buys. It takes only 60,000 being paid between fairpay and 100,000 times fairpay to take all the earnings of the world, and we are nearly there, with 1% with over 90% of world income, while doing less than 1% of the work. Let all people with wits hasten to promote this greatest of opportunities, with enormous increase of happiness for every person, overpaid and underpaid.
