Rise and Fall of Humanity
Just reading the Novel of Honore de Balzac with title "Cesar Birotteau's Rise and Fall" and knowing, Balzac mentioned this special book to have been the best of his terrible and painful carrier.
At one given place, Balzac notes about the development of lives in the following sense:
- The lady hero of the novel was getting about 37 years old and never she would be more respected, being more beautiful and full of health and hopes in the future, having by her husband plenty of fortune and being liked by everybody as ever before her rise from poverty. But she couldn't know how she just passed the peak of her life and all would go down and nothing would be as before.
Balzac explains that this principle would be true and would happen in any human life, a rise and peak and then the downfall towards death. This rule would be true also for nations, systems, companies, nature, regions, science and take whatever you want:
You would experience a rise, a top and a downfall of everything.
And don't know if Balzac was of the opinion, that his society in Paris at those times in France just had passed the peak of developments around the year 1830, but when I look back, I am absolutely sure that humanity went down the drain since the times of Balzac.
You believe the contrary? Just read my views:
Since Balzac we saw the rise and fall of Napoleon, of the British Empire, of Marxism in the Soviet Union, of Mao's China, of USA as western Empire of the Globe, of the finance industry, of the world of technologic gadgets and of the intellect of humans and the rest of resources and nature in good shape.
We saw two World Wars, Vietnam, Africa felling in poverty, in South America our fine neoliberalism brought millions to be tortured to death, religion wars all around, terrorism in any area around the world and some percent become rich and tax-free, whereas middle class fell towards total misery and poverty, heading towards 99 percent, as large regions in Asia or Africa or even USA were living their terrible lives already.
Today, short before the Crash of our finance system, of banks, nations, currencies, stock exchanges, outpowering the world, explosion of masses of folks, climate and weather mechanics being dead for all times, oceans and lands full of poison, bees going to die, China, India, USA and Europe, after Africa and South America just short before complete deterioration and USA under Trump heading against national collapse and Third World War possible - we should learn, that we are living in times of a metamorphoses of unknown risks and dangers, concluded and irrevocable, towards death of our planet and humanity.
We were lost forever when out of humans became "human resources", modern slavery, accompanied by a holocaust of animals and nature being only a "free market" for the cash without any values per trillions in computers, to the advantage of tax-free idiots becoming rich, when 99 percent went to hell.
We were lost forever when out of humans became "human resources", modern slavery, accompanied by a holocaust of animals and nature being only a "free market" for the cash without any values per trillions in computers, to the advantage of tax-free idiots becoming rich, when 99 percent went to hell.
The epoch of times of western progress in technology, in economic growth, of a stupid dream to have 10 billion of folks in state of luxury, all this and much more was the greatest BLUFF ever seen in history of humanity, when in fact each invention and new gadget in techniques, atom work, cars, planes, highways, airports, skyscrapers, mega-towns, mass-industry, modern fishing, murdering of millions of animals each new day, computers, internet, digital era, Facebook and worse, all brought us only an absolute deterioration of our geosphere and oceans - and all this was a fact of death and metamorphose, none of the intellectual idiots on this globe could recognize - since Balzac to this very day.
Now, in 2016, the idiots of the exploding masses, our fine and criminal Elites of the globe, like to believe that never we had more luxury, more cash, better shares of conglomerates, more rental-systems in good shape, more of good work for folks, more health care, less of murdered people, when in fact in view of the fast growing masses, the contrary is true in real figures you could take. The End is not coming - it is done - and folks wait for other proofs.
Whatever "progress" and growth we experience in our world in 2016, is the result of huge over-indebtedness of nations, all banks too big to fail, shadow banks and central banks in fact dead, all heading towards bankruptcy, our world being out-powered for all times, animals having no place anymore, oceans full of plastic and atom waste, mega-towns short before getting rotten for all times, no sand and resources left, agriculture a mess of grounds no longer feeding 10 billion, pandemics short before explosion, our environment full of matters to kill it, our technology only serving with computers and internet a crazy-gone population full of illusions, the competition of lands against each other having brought poverty in large regions in the world, the richness of the highest class a bluff of worthless money, shares, State bonds, derivatives and worse, our climate and weather-mechanics just on the edge to break down for ever and bringing in accelerating manner always much higher catastrophes in droughts, floods, super-storms and monster-waves in oceans and never our young folks had less chances and no future and was more dull, as ever in the whole history since 2000 years.
Now, the greatest problem of all is the fact, the governments, chiefs of States, scientists and novel writers pretend the contrary of reality, the real facts are distorted every new day, not one person can "read" the complete downfall of humanity since 1830.
Balzac was right to 100 percent, that humanity had around his times a peak with the lowest figure of killed folks, dying from hunger, hopes for a good future being allowed and humans not yet knowing and assuming, that their future in life will just be terrifying.
We have today no future left, we do not understand how we experience just now not only the voyage of individuals to their end of lives and less of their health, but each bank, each nation, each system, each town, any region is condemned to death in the 21st Century - and not one of the always more stupid going individuals in masses can understand, what Balzac meant and what Delavy was writing here.
