Economics, Infrastructure

So, expanding nations and their investments in infrastructure outside their boundaries. Let us start with that one, China and its BRI. Expanding all the way to Ecuador, so much so refugees that cross the Darien Jungle also include Chinese nationals.

The heavy investment around the Indian boarder, Pakistan being swapped with debt to China, an already stressed nation. Tanzania falling into the debt cycle too. Debt-trap diplomacy it could be called, but is it?

Like a spiderweb China expands, in a different form of global dominance that of funding major energy infrastructure across the globe. In a bid to control, stabilise maybe, or something more we are yet to see.

While Economist still debate how to effectively create healthy economies which may be in fact linked to Oracle corporations control, with their datacentre in Kenya and also this experiment there: https://www.economist.com/1843/2024/03/01/how-poor-kenyans-became-economists-guinea-pigs

And Argentina’s Anarcho-capitalism as an economic solution, one of the only nations to vote against a Palestine statehood: https://www.oracle.com/customers/prudential-argentina/

While as one person, I can connect invisible dots and pretend there is some sense there of what is occurring, but I also cannot prove it. Only make inferences, deducing what is in effect holding power over systems pertaining to statehood itself.

Empowering the global population with equal wealth has potential to be the worst thing for the environment and we all know that too, as our legislation is not bulletproof enough to be tested by multiple financially empowered egos and their actions.

The entertainment machine has taken many minds and morality away from the legal process and only those with power either financial or social, seem to be able to action court proceedings in our nation now. When multiple solicitors can be bought by one company, to deter their exposure to wrongdoing, when our legal backbone of what is right and just can be procured. These are dire times, and maybe more financial equality can in fact ammend this. But again, the american entertainment machine has done so much damage to our legitimacy of justice itself.

Yet we continue with complacency of equitable finance being controlled by out of touch economists whose lives have always known comfort. Because when wealth is held is can be controlled through selecting humans for micro-economy creation as an experiment to societal growth. Regardless of what humanism is lost in the process.

Many of us with morals and sense see that real poverty is not about how much money one has in the bank, it is about how healthy the land and rivers and sky are that one can live from and with. The communities formed around how to sustain human interdependence with nature itself. But, it seems we have lost much of those communities in how we have been divided across the commonwealth to sustain income and protect the ethos of the nation.

The tragedy of the commons is that we in effect are still learning how to manage common property of the environment itself, utilise it for equitable access to basic services and long-term health. While it is possible, if one looks at Elinor Ostrom’s work.

That state run resources and adequate tax of land and sea-based resources would be of most benefit for the population. However, globalisation of business has equated to multinational companies shifting their money across the globe to be held in strategic countries, abusing the rights of national trade agreements to suit their interests to blight our national interests of sustaining biodiversity.

Which then contrasts how there are many millionaires of the world with inherited wealth that are in fact pleading to be taxed and devising their own solutions to this, which may or may not be the way forward depending on the ethics of redistribution.

The comedy continues.

Again we edge back into deglobalization as the solution, to divide power equally in terms of statehood. But alas now we cannot, as the wealth is not held equally across nations and cultures. The drivers of progression no longer human beings.

And can slowly start to see the footprint of AI on water resources.

All while AI run business will make us all look at Carbon footprints again and again as the means for global peace in terms of business and trade.

While we factor in the damage genetically modified seeds from Monsanto have done to the farmers of India through changing the microbiome of the soil itself. The many suicides and degraded agricultural land as a result, and can reflect on what companies will do to prove or test their “tech”.

And also note that the creation of missile tech is to protect nations “way of life”, so UK what is your way of life beyond a cuppa and overusing water? What is the way of life you throw fire for? As the United kingdom has abandoned Australia numerous times during conflict.

Cough,

WW2.

Cough.

We can admit that the losses of Gallipoli unified the states of Australia in a shared grief, and that is the only assistance the UK has given us in forming the country.

And see how Iran never shoots a missile at Microsoft in Jerusalem. Because it is protected by a particular “faith”.

The future of what strategic infrastructure placement can do.

While considering who is doing the funding and gaining perceived power in the future of major infrastructure projects. Or rather the nations securing a footing through projects with the notion that if their infrastructure investments are attacked, the investing nation may retaliate as a different form of holding sway at the conflict level.

What core infrastructure can do for sustainability, that interests me significantly. For as our mines increase in risk, the potential for compassion to decrease for human life in the process as we are organized into human cells without emotion. Solutions for repurposing existing metals in the production cycle shall be of utmost importance and connectivity is key for those solutions to come into play.

Alas, once infrastructure is there, it remains for eons and requires maintenance. And again we factor in, how large organizations are willing to put human health to the wayside for their tech to remain.

Rail connectivity, transport futures. Energy requirements and how to repurpose what is already there with water becoming more precious. Connectivity and culture also to be factored in as cultural uniqueness is key to our future too.

So as we hear for the umpteenth time “we know the technology is there”, we know deep down our systems of collaboration are so broken in how we work together, “the technology” we need to progress may never be implemented. As mine projects increase in risk, humans organized into compassionless cells to extract minerals for basic economic function. And dataset creation is occurring more than physical innovation, and any large scale physical innovation is now guided by a monotonised culture. We can see how these are in fact dire times unless we change something soon.

Yet what drives the need for change?

What indeed would inspire more duty to humanity in governing bodies pertaining to the longevity of what enables humanism in a system.

There is never a tabula rasa, some empirical data is always necessary. Human time is always required, to audit and optimise what is already there in terms of data and business relationships that are enabling unaudited data to be stored for time periods beyond what is necessary, and that can be used unethically.

The fear of the future in this regime we see ourselves in is that any country at risk of default on external debt https://www.cfr.org/cfr-sovereign-risk-tracker may fall into the same web of having key human capital managed by one company as a result to regulate its finance sector and microeconomies. Which is not the way forward as a global unit, we already fear what it done within our own country.

How many minds in a room do you think is required to come the conclusion about what is critical information to sustain a landmass with x,y,z?
