Seems to me that our global financial system is fragile and collapse-vulnerable because it is kind of all built on imaginary things (digital being non-tangible and all) and mostly trust (which is in global short supply). Why not re-imagine this imaginary system to something that works for more than the richest people?
I don’t have faith in the global economy because it seems like a huge Ponzi scheme that is about to topple— I also assume that if it does it will once again be propped up by more imaginary structures that disenfranchise most of us even further. So my question is… why?
Why are we going along with this? Why aren’t we calling for something better? Why are we willing to accept that some people are born entitled to everything and others are born entitled to nothing based only on what our ancestors did before us?
Why should your kids or my kids be entitled to less than Ivanka’s? Why should you or I be entitled to less than Paris Hilton?
I can agree that we should be able to save and provide something to help our kids get started but maybe there is a better way than some people getting 99.9% of the entire head start pie and then .1% having to be shared between the rest. I’d guess that there are many solutions possible… why aren’t we considering them?
Because, the truth is we all have one life and we should be born equally prepared to live the life we want. None of us are bit players in life!! We are all the lead in our own story! Why should any of us be raised to play a side story life in someone else’s hero journey when all of us have a heroic journey of our own?
