ABOUT NEW FORMS OF ORGANISATION

The point of my email (which I failed to adequately convey) is that government at all levels are based on  wrong organisational models.

They fail to take into account that the focus of everyone’s life is actually the economy.

That is to say: the production of goods and services.

If one looks around one would hard pressed to say that our infrastructure is organised toward an economic end.

In contrast, industrial parks are specifically organised toward an economic end.

 

At all government levels, we are using organisational models that are geared toward satisfying the electorate’s personal emotional needs.

Satisfying personal needs varies considerably between election cycles.

So, in fact, we effectively end up with no consistent or effective organisation models

Furthermore, the current societal objective of “social justice” (embraced by liberals and socialists which constitute 2/3 of the electorate) cannot even be defined.

 

What I see in various societies around the world that have had their cultures collapse is that they are concentrating their efforts on forming new towns and cities on the industrial park model.

They seem to come in two models: Eco-parks and Gated parks.

The Eco-parks are completely self contained with their own energy and waste disposal systems and, sometimes housing.

The Gated parks have their own security systems added.

 

What these two styles of parks share is economic output.

Further, everyone within the system has be productive.

Obvious exceptions duly noted.

Social behavior is what you would expect of anyone in a conventional workplace.

If you do not work or misbehave you are out.

Cultural differences are subsumed by effective economic production models.

Societal advancement is based on economic effectiveness.

 

I fear we will not even begin to modify our organisational models until we go broke.

 

The enclosed picture from the previous email shows that an industrial park model need not be a visual blight but, in fact, can be aesthetically pleasing as well.

 

love,

Dad

It is unfortunate the state in which we find the world today.  And its equally unfortunate that government(s) are typically the route of our problems rather than a source of our solution.

Hi Guys

 

Lately, I have been doing some deep dives on the ways that various societies organise themselves.

 

Among the various models of civic governance it is obvious (to me, at least) that the western model of liberal democracy is not working very well. 

In fact, it is failing.

 

One only has to look at San Francisco and, increasingly, Vancouver to see that there are no liberal-democratic solutions to western urban decay.

 

For those who can afford it, there are gated communities but I feel that these are only stop gap measures.

 

But the idea of gated communities is still appealing but needs to be more comprehensively thought through.

 

For the last few months I have been visiting various industrial parks in the lower mainland.

 

Call me lowbrow but the architecture and overall aesthetic (not to mention the orderliness and cleanliness) I found very appealing.

 

The park just north of Westminster and 6th has some very stately landscaping plus it even has its own daycare centre.

 

Recently I have placed the photo below on my desktop. 

It is an industrial park in Vietnam built by the Sumitomo Corp of Japan. (I have attached a file so that you can view it full screen).

 

So the short story  is that, combining your own gated cottage model and the industrial park model shown below with schools and water treatment, etc. could provide a different governance model (i.e corporate governance) 

from our present political models of city, town, village democratic governance.

 

The problem with democracy is that 50% of the voters (as a simple matter of fact are of below average intelligence) and that fact is reflected in who they elect.

 

Add to that the number of clever grifters and you can see the problem. The grifters bribe the rubes with their own money while skimming the public treasury through various schemes.

Together, this unholy alliance gained access to the public treasury and have looted the country. Now the whole democratic edifice is beginning to crumble.

 

The problems with the downtown east side are just the tip of the iceberg.

 

The You Tube link below is a short vid by Sumitomo. Note that most of their business in in south east Asia.

 

And it has not escaped my attention that almost all of the furniture I have purchased these past few years is made in Viet Nam.

 

love

Dad
