Yes it is. And yes it will.
- pphysch 4y agoThe future of the global economy is being actively shaped in emerging power centers in Eurasia/BRICS+, not by idealistic libertarians in the West.
- elefanten 4y agoCare to elaborate? What activities or policies from Eurasia/BRICS+ are you referring to?
- pphysch 4y agoZoltan Poszar lays it out clearly: https://plus2.credit-suisse.com/shorturlpdf.html?v=5h1o-8SW-V&t=-6f9o9gxfcir9ldit6fbbldzzx https://plus2.credit-suisse.com/shorturlpdf.html?v=5h1o-8SW-... The url/page looks dodgy but you can confirm it's CS.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoPower centers have to contend with the largest source of power, the human population of the world. They go to great lengths to prevent it from being coordinated by dividing populations, and they do exercise true power, but at the end of the day they still have to react to what people want and do. If people begin to use bitcoin and the like, they'll find a way to preserve what they can of their power in that environment. They're not omnipotent, they don't win every fight they take on.
- pphysch 4y agoThere are all sorts of ideologies (including the one you describe) contingent on the masses spontaneously, and effectively, coordinating in pursuit of a common goal. However, they never describe how this will occur, except by some miracle. Practically, you'd need to control a sizeable chunk of the global media, internet, etc. It's especially ironic coming from libertarian circles, because hyperindividualists pride themselves on not participating in mass psychology.
