There are definitely different types of growth. Growth can be defined as expansion of power or ability. An increasing tenacity to act and achieve successfully. Some growth could be qualified as beneficial. To earn this classification the growth must perform efficiently, that is, improve ultimate results without damaging the system that achieves results. Most people believe a thing qualifies as growth by merely meeting the first part of that qualification, that results seem measurably improved, however fail to realize that growth is generic in nature, and what seems perceptually according all available channels to be growth, can just as easily be either malignant or cancerous. That is to say simply, growth is not always beneficial, especially when the scale is large and the measurement of success is dollars. Dollars are a counter intuitive measurement of success. Many corporations simply cheat and mislead the public inadvertently making everyone stupider, or cheat by using various chemical solutions to problems that end up destroying species that have survived longer than we have as a species. Sure the economy looks like its doing good, but economic success is not a measurement of growth, and economic growth is just as easily a measure of failure as success. The economy could do very well up until the point that the suns rays are blocked from the earth (or worse yet, the opposite) and life ceases to exist here, except at that time whatever seemed to work obviously never actually worked for us, but rather was against us all along, and people were too stupid to recognize this, that they were hurting themselves more than helping, as easy as the decisions seemed. The easier the decision seems the less likely it should be taken lightly. The failure of humanity is not that we fail to achieve genuine growth, but that we fail to achieve genuine growth on every level. That there exist levels where growth is measured incorrectly, that is, via dollar signs, the reality could be that our ability to exist and persist as a species is in fact shrinking. The value of existing is lost on some beyond the span of their lifetimes. This means that growth is measured short of nearsightedly. The advancement is seen as advancement but in fact it may be inhibiting more growth than it is producing, even though it is producing dollar signs today, the chances of it producing dollar signs tomorrow are in fact diminished via crushing and ignoring that which actually fascinates natural growth! Its like forcing growth, and measuring success by the size of the ball of cancer that develops, and acting like this is somehow success that is being measured. This is not in fact the case. Any corporation that measures their growth indirectly by how much they damage the environment (dollars made via damaging the environment) is not only ripping the future out from under themselves, but also ripping the future (and dollars) out of the hands of everyone else! There is no cause for supporting such industries that gamble the future to make a profit today. Being rich today actually has very little value in this world compared with being rich in a richer future. There is little if any practical value to being rich today, since there is almost nothing in this worth that you can spend your money on that doesn’t serve to destroy the future of this world anymore. I challenge anyone to think of examples of spending that do not in some way inhibit future growth, in spite of short term gain within your life span. Several examples include Financial Bailouts of industries that either pollute (auto) or cannot be sustained (federal reserve) since an exponential increasing supply of money almost guarantees that none of it will have any value when it collapses. Bailouts in general mortgage future generations counting on them to solve impossibly hard problems of today, but this strategy will never work without exponentially increasing education as well, and as we all know too well there is some practical limit of advancement that can be achieved given the relatively fixed time frame that is a lifetime. Most things are more important than being successful in this lifetime since being what people qualify as success in this life time is generally in fact being one of the largest looser failures in the world, manipulating every precious resource out of the grasp of the future to make a quick dollar today, dollars which will have no value in the future since nothing will be left of any value in the world. We have more today than we will ever have in the future if we keep letting people make poor decisions spending money & resources, and the only way people will make the only correct decisions to guarantee they aren’t perusing malignant or cancerous growth is if they are far smarter than today on every level of action they take and dream they hope to achieve. It takes a smart person to recognize and support the right thing in the sea of misconception that is what we consider social framework of today. I recognize that not only could this be so much more than it is, but also that it should not be the way that it is, because its not good for anyone, even if it seems like it is right now. Overpopulation is perhaps the number one cause of insustainability we have today, knowing full well that most corporations view overpopulation as the only way to increase demand for their worthless products we wouldn’t even need if there was a sustainable level of population in the first place. If you think the greedy rich and powerful aren’t poised to run this earth and country and life itself into the ground, you are mistaken. Life is so much greater than us, and so much greater than any of these powerful people who have tricked you into earning your trust. Be wise what you spend your money on because you may very well be investing in your own end even if it seems like you live another day, your children may not, and may be even more confused about it than you are now. Please support what can change the world in a truly positive sense and ditch what can not, because as nice as things seem sometimes, our situation here on earth is dire and closer to an end than anyone thinks, and whatever can increase awareness of this fact is more likely than not all that matters in this world. I hope to do everything I can to compete against all the money in the world. If you cannot think of or suggest anything better than please donate or tip this creator to pursue a better tomorrow for everyone. If you have a particular wish or reason then please specify! There is entirely too much power in all the wrong hands.
