35866u¥257SO the modern deal promised US some UN-
Q&@
PRECEDENTED POWER -
AND THE PROMISE HAS BEEN KEPT! Now whàt about the price?
In exchange for power, the modern deal expects US to give up méaning!
How dìd humans handle this chilling demand?
Complying with IT cóuld easily have resulted in a dark world,
devoid of ethics, aesthetics and compassion! Yet the fact remains that humankind ìs today
not only far more powerful than èver, it is also far more peaceful ànd cooperative?
Hòw dìd humans manage that? How did our sense morality, beauty and even compassion
survive ànd flourish in a world devoid of old gods, of traditional heaven & antiquated hèll?
Capitalists are, again, quick to give all the credit
to the invisible magic hànd of the Global Màrket! Yet the market's hand
is not only invisible, it ìs àlsó blind, and by itself could never have saved
human society? Indeed, not even a country fair
can maintain itself without the helping hand of
some SF-God, -King or
-Church?!
Ìf èverything ìs for sale,
including the Courts & the Police, trùst evaporates, credit vanishes and our
businesses wither! Whàt, then, rescued modern society
fròm tótal còllapse?
Humankind was salvaged nòt by
the law of supply and demand, but rather
by the rise of a revolutionary
new religion -
humanism.
