Do Whatever Feels Good

This strategy has served us well for millions of years. But it is not working very well anymore - because our wants have been perverted.

What I have said so far is nothing new - everyone will agree, without thinking about it. But they will not agree, to look into it further, and discover how our wants have been perverted. They are quite satisfied to enjoy the perversions they already have.

But this is where we have to begin - with the knowledge that we are easily perverted. Not something we will readily admit to. We prefer to think we are somehow perfect! A religious belief that has become a business assumption. Instead of doing whatever feels good to us - we are urged to do whatever makes our powerful people, more powerful.

We only have to go back a few hundred years in our history, to when Enlightenment values were assumed. These people were aware of their power instincts, but valued their social instincts more.

But this desirable state of affairs did not last - Power became more important, because of the Industrial Revolution - with its powerful engines, powered by fossil fuels. Two industries became important - Manufacturing and Transportation.

I grew up in this world, in Ft. Madison, Iowa. The West End of town was dominated by the Santa Fe Railroad - and the East End by the Sheaffer Pen Company. Today, neither exist, and Ft. Madison has become part of the American Rust Belt. The people left there, are not aware that his huge change has happened! The town is full of houses that are not occupied, because few jobs are available. The money has moved to the East Coast, or West Coast.
