"Indeed, that's the power that we have as human beings," I said, "that unfolds with the Principle of Universal Love. That's what it means to live competently. That's the Samaritan-Principle."
"The imperial bankers cannot escape the fact that their rotten domain is fast deteriorating," said Steve, "and that the ongoing collapse-process will eventually disintegrate their entire system altogether, including whatever power they claim to have. Wouldn't it be better for them to rebuild themselves on a platform of universal principles, the principles that civilizations are built on? That would assure their survival as it would assure also our survival. The critical choice that lies before them, which they are smart enough to see, cannot be avoided by them either. Their system of private financial control over mankind, which has been built up over the last 250 years, cannot be saved by any means, because it is inherently self-destructive. They do know this, but they lack the competence of a normal human being to save themselves from their trap. We must help them in this, which means helping them to shut their failing system down. We are all in the same boat on this planet."
I interrupted Steve with laughter. "They may not want to be helped. They want to survive, but they don't want to give up their privatization of the wealth of society that they have bullied society to accept."
"Just wait twenty years," said Steve, "and there won't be anything left of what we have today, together with the people that our civilization is supporting today."
"Who needs to wait twenty years?" I interrupted Steve. "The fact is, our economy, our culture, our financial system, our education system, our transpiration system, our healthcare system, are all empty shells already. What we once had as a nation is already gone. We've become an empty shell ourselves, filled with poverty within."
"That empty shell cannot be saved, Peter. Only the nation that is still alive to some degree can be saved. It can be saved by shutting the private imperial bankers' disintegrating process down that has hollowed out our nation. Thereby the bankers themselves might be saved. This option should be chosen today, Peter, before things get worse. It should be chosen now to save us twenty years from now, just as the needed Ice Age Renaissance should be started now to create the infrastructures that we require to survive a hundred years in the future. The whole political and economic geometry is changing. We are in the emd-phase. The turning point has to be now! Recognizing this turning point is the most critical choice before humanity today. Anything else is secondary."
"Is it really necessary to always draw the focus back to the Ice Age and the needed Renaissance that we must built for it, which we will never see in our lifetime?" I interrupted Steve. "Don't we have enough critical problems to focus on?"
Steve shook his head. "The Ice Age focus is needed, because until now all the critical problems haven't moved us. We need a shockfront!"
"A shockfront?" I repeated.
"Yes, we need something explosive that will wake us up. We need something bigger than an alarm clock, Peter. Look at the textile industry in America. It was exported to the slavery world of foreign sweatshops. Nobody cared. We let it happen. We said it wasn't a big thing. Then the same happened with the shoe industry. We looked at it and said that we can live with that. Consequently nothing was done to revere the trend. Then the same happened to the steel industry. Well, we said in those days that we can tolerate the loss of the steel industry, too. But the reality is that we can't tolerate any of that. When the textile industry died in America, the nation began to die, imperceptibly at first. But it began to die. Soon the dying accelerated. Now we face a future in which our entire automobile industry will be on the block, and our aircraft industry, and our machine tool industry, and then our farming. The Ice Age focus is truly needed, Peter, because it tells us that we can't live with any of that crap. The future economic task is too great to be messed around with as we have done until now. The survival of the nation has been put at risk. In the future it will the survival of mankind that is at risk. The Ice Age focus is needed as it might impel us to put our nose back into the real world of universal principles that we cannot ignore without consequence, because the Ice Age consequences are potentially universally fatal if we don't get real. By bringing the Ice Age into the equation we are forced to shift our paradigms back to reality. We need something big, on that order of magnitude as the Ice Age Challenge is, as a motivator. We need a big bang, and an alarm clock, because we've been asleep for too long. We need it badly, and we need it now, because in ours slumber we are moving top speed in the wrong direction, towards a quadruple crisis!"
