Government’s Role In Calling Forth Civilizing Morphogenesis Among Economies:
A social economy may come efficiently to educate and assign its members to meet diverse needs.
Thus, may leadership for any such economy ever safely rest?
No.
Each human body — to safely keep its various cells and functions in shape for coordination, strength, memory, and spiritual sense of purpose and empathy — needs regular practice and exercise. Such human functions may be considered in respect of a cycling scale, sort of like Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, twisted into an ever recurring circle.
Maslow’s hierarchy does not present cyclical challenges only to human bodies and families. Rather, competitive cycles challenge entire economies. Economies, in turns, become stressed, challenged, successful, imaginative, creative, comfortable, satisfied, relaxed, satiated, over specialized, overpopulated, over concentrated, unbalanced, jaded, fat, degenerate, corrupt, self centered, over supplied, soft, foppish, bored, uninspired, unmotivated, dependent, non-empathetic, cliquish, self involved, narcissistic, lost in diversions, drugged, purposeless, non-creative, unchallenged, out of practice, anachronistic, tired, worn out, threatened, or weakened or invigorated by physical or spiritual competitions.
So, WHAT IS THE HEALTH OF OUR PRESENT SOCIAL ECONOMY, in view of challenges soon likely to approach our civilization?
In respect of any cyclical scale or balance, where are we presently? Seeing our position, may we yet have power to extend or control our cycle? May we give rest or redirection, either to our bodies or to our economies?
May any economy be sustained or conserved, once it ceases to expand? May muscles retain tone, when not regularly used? Must our desires and needs now be stirred, continuously, in order to prop us up? Once basic needs are met, how must or should our needs continue to be shaped — artificially?
Given our present position along Maslow’s cycle, should the artificial stirring and inspiring of our needs be left primarily to "naturally selective" economic competition, or to governance under a system of laws and culturally assimilating traditions for inspiring "enlightened empathy"?
To sustain regimen for exercising our economy, must we now entice opportunists to churn demand and free-trade for porn, drugs, addiction, foppery, decadence, abuse, self destruction, familial destruction, malaise, and anarchy?
Is there an alternative, that could better help or entice respect for: sustainable demographics; conservation of environment; human expression; entertainment in sports, crafts, music, arts, fashion; exploration of technology, science and space; creativity; imagination; philosophy; spirituality; enlightened empathy; and civilizing purposefulness?
How should a respectable civilization be protected and promoted — in respect of borders, defense, fair trade, and example?
PERSONAL COMMENT: Respectable Civilization is not well served by (liberal democrats) opening borders to un-assimilable, primitive tribes, by (unfair trading republicans) drafting members to compete at levels of primitive tribes, or by (human secularists) losing empathy for a common, spiritual, inspiring source of purposeful consciousness, in respect of That Which defines and is in common for each of us.
