THE PORVERTY OF THE 0LD THINKING AND ITS  IMPLICATIONS.

01 Oct 2025

The Chinese put it nicely, saying there aught to be a war before the emergence of peace and unity (  in class  terms ).

Let the privileged of the old world tremble precisely because it's by its own nature  to eat the belly of itself to death anyway. We have nothing to lose except the illussionment of the scarcity of new world with new ideas.

In the midst of the new moment, new challenges, new world struggling to be born, the ideologies of the past shows some signs of bankruptcy  fatigue if you like and  narrow rhetorics, an indication of the world's thursty of new ideologies like a dry desert in need of a drop of water.

The culture or a school of thought of chasing for an endless GDP growth is a sickness of the old mind, from an old world order who is refusing to die and give birth to the new world order of innovations and the ability to adabt on conditions not of your own choosing.

0ur revolution is not of a violence against people and it has never been about that it has been about our intelligence against the outdated flawed and unscientific ideas that benefits the elite.

Our strategic goal in the main must be about how do we optimise our human capacity, develop a human flourishing, not personal individualistic growth and ecological health of the nation.

At the heart of that program is wisdom, ethics, morals, sustainability and cultural debth as key drivers  of a nation that is not fearing purging  itself for the good. Develop a strong foundational proper metrics as a strategic direct response to the unresolved questions of the nation we are.

We must move away from the culture of chasing money for self enrichment which has created an unhealthy competition over greediness, to endowment of each of us from birth to have a direct share of the   productive capacity a lifelong allocation of energy, raw materials and equal access to fabrication of tools. The current set up of grant system to the vulnerable and poor without a deliberate conscious effort to invest on  skills revolution more than ever before and  resolving the means of production and ownership is a ticking bomb waiting to explode at any given time.

That's what economic freedom in our lifetime means in concrete terms, not  sloganising about it.
