Globalization 4.0 from the World Economic Forum



“Globalization 4.0.”  The World Economic Forum says “We need your answers to 6 of the most important questions on our shared future.”

Our global system has spun out of control. Here's how to rebalance it.  By Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.  05 Feb 2019

A very logical essay… allow me to summarize: 

Everything in our bodies, our world, and the rest of the known Universe is made up of systems and structures that are based on fundamental principles.  And, they are ALL ultimately connected and interdependent.  

Humans have attempted to add our own systems (government, economic, religious, energy, transportation, communication, medicine, healthcare, agriculture, defense…) and structures (bridges, nuclear missiles, churches, houses...)  but have sometimes been a little too creative with inventing our own principles…like 'peace through strength'.... which we might call ‘alternative principles”.

To the degree that any of the systems and structures we create, using our own alternative principles ignore the fundamental principles (laws of nature and nature's God)- we can count on our systems and structures failing.

We must build our own systems to sustain liberty and justice for all.  Which means making our own laws (local, state, national and global) embody "the Laws of Nature and Nature's God" -- "self-evident" "Truths" that we all learned about in school (but failed putting into practice or our voting pattern) since the creation of the U.S. Constitution. 

President Lincoln called our Declaration of Independence our "Golden Apple" and the Constitution it's "Silver Frame".   We simply refuse to see the big picture (reality created by nature and God) ...because we are so mesmerized by the frame, we ourselves have created, and ignored the messes they have created...until pain and suffering makes us reconsider  our own laws.  

Even then we cling to them as if they can save us. 

Is that arrogance, conspiracy, ignorance or just plain foolish?
