Neoliberal capitalism at quantum scale

 

Whenever there is discussion, or new findings (and philosophical speculations), in quantum field it also attracts worst kind of people as they try to sell decked up ridicules of religion and compare these as scientifically advanced. The all-knowing squatter frame is activated to usurp the space as entitlement “something that we knew 5000yrs back and the west is just catching up”. This from a bunch that even lacks basic sense or humanity. I blame West, specifically britishery, for nurturing these dimwits. Eastern philosophy is hinged mostly in Tao-Buddhist refined thoughts, some of Upanishad too carry enlightened thoughts but one has to clearly understand, in no uncertain terms, that these are accumulated thoughts (like yoga and ayurveda) of saints and seers over centuries and is being appropriated into squatter’s inbred frame of waste. Much of Upanishad remains source of humanist tradition and enlightening stream from Buddha to Kabir to Nanak. Squatter mediated Hinduism that normalize caste is a degradation and an assault on humanity. It has nothing to offer, least claims of meditative insights, these should be shooed away from civilized circle. Ofcourse the threat to the world is from severely degrading one book miracle religions that shake core of humanity significantly because of the spread and clear instructions that easily manipulate humans into herd. Squatter decked Hinduism remains a threat and shouldn’t be allowed to pussyfoot into enlightening thoughts and sophisticated understanding like quantum physics.

So, lets come to the issue at hand. To put it succinctly the transactive nature of capitalism finds itself unhinged from all moral bearings and state control (through rule of law and rights of citizen) in neoliberal values. Everything is evaluated as disposable profit extracting entity in a greed filled world of insatiable needs. These have severely diminished humanity and degraded environment. What we see is broader impact through annual reports of rising inequity and polarization with wanton consumption as growth while human induced natural disaster is shifting to geological catastrophes. As common people we experience these daily dealings with transactive values that seep into human relations and our disconnection with nature. State -elected by people or authoritarian, use their power to extract and consume to work progress and development. Though we experience these in daily deterioration it remains abstract in neoliberal sophistication. This is where Trump emerge as important case study. He is posited as aberration, which he is not, and is indeed a natural evolution (turbocharged through social media) that values extractive opportunism. What is important here is the crudeness of neoliberal values finding expressions in individuals holding responsible positions. This is not an accident but a deliberate accumulative nurturing of the system. Each one gaining from neoliberal system shares little bit of trump that they desperately try to morph in liberal posturing or conservative concerns. The system is incapable to nurture better people.

Since Trump is elevated into the world stage by the system as a powerful entity he is in spotlight. Every action he takes, every move he makes, is closely scrutinized. His choice of words, his mannerism, his concerns…everything is also the scrutiny and expressions of the system that elevated him as successful. Narrators entrenched in system are appalled by his naked ambitions and uncouth ways and try to distance themselves giving the impression that he comes from alien place. He is very much extension of their being that they are trying to hide. This is observing neoliberal capitalism at quantum level. How it creates extractive mindset and transactive values evaluating every opportunity to gain control and grab and monetize. This crude way is what capsulates into sophistication of economic system that they try to enamor us with narration of development. His every thought and action define the pattern that create success in neoliberal capitalism. This then leads to degradation of societies and exploitation of nature. With Trump lens you can see through sustainable efforts and concern for nature as farce. It’s a deeply flawed system that is running on sophisticated semantics. Natural system no longer sustains this extractive system and are collapsing while transactive debauchery produces money -the value of which will be fiction when faced with reality.

The system is so entrenched that it is impossible to reform or replace, common people and biodiversity will keep on paying the price while the elite isolate themselves as long as it keeps benefiting them. This is how neoliberal system programmed its own survival favoring few and firmly hinging the hunter gatherer imprint. This also makes Trump case much interesting. He is nurtured by the very values of the system that is also self-destructive. It will perpetuate till the end to self-destruct. Immense power with crude value system has created a narcissist mutant that is on self-destruction mode to extract as much benefit from the system as he could. Which is not bad at all provided the world realigns and reforms. Fiction of development has to align and factor in fast changing reality.
