HOW OUR FUTURE IS WRITTEN IN CODE

Kia Ora,

Interest.

That's the key to everything.
Do you have any interest?

If you can't be bothered then there you haven't any interest.

If you have no money then you won't collect any interest.

The fascinating thing about the word is that you can only be interesting if you already have a interest of some form.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HE ON ABOUT NOW?" I hear you cry. Well , if you will indulge me I will explain.

Interest is a noun that can be used in many ways but in essence the value of it all boils down to the same thing. DOES ANYONE CARE?

If they do and they are prepared to use some of their limited heartbeats in pursuing the object of their desire then it is of interest and will by association accrue the same.

This is important because the more people care the more interest is generated and the more interest is generated the more people care. Got me?

It is called a positive feedback cycle and it is how everything develops and grows.

Mathematicians can work out feedback cycles and they can calculate the effect of changes in interest. What is really interesting (sorry) is that you can also measure that effect on the way you see yourself.

In terms of your life you can see that, if you are a person who has interest in the world around you, and in events that happen to others, your own value is increased. eg. The last person you want to see is the dullard who does nothing but watch TV and eat KFC right? But the guy who is a "jet setter" is intrinsically interesting because his life experience is something that you would like to have yourself.

That's why movie stars and pop singers are objects of fascination.

So what is more useless than a pop singer that never tours?
A chocolate fireguard perhaps?

Believe it or not Karl Marxs - yes he of the big beard and creation of communism - had this off pat - he called it the stupidity of the rural village. In other words, the less you knew the less you were able to know and therefore the less you were told.

Now if you take that idea forward and then look at how interest is seen in a financial market you can see that the same rules apply.

Every single one of us has an interest in interest rates.

Your house, your money, your job - they all depend on interest rates being set at a reasonable level for your country.

So what happens when things here get into a big mess?

This time the result is not just a fat, boring old fart sitting on a couch with nothing to say. This time it means that you loose your job and then your house and then your reason to live.

"BUT I CAN"T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT CAN I"

Well, believe it or not you can.

There are two ways:
First you get involved in politics and shape how other act and react and that in turn will affect the perceptions of bankers who set interest rates and suddenly you have made a difference.

Second you get busy and stop letting your country of birth or residence dictate who and what you are.

For example -
If you are born in Zimbabwe you currently live with 2500% inflation, starvation and a generally shit life.
OPTIONS: Leave, do nothing or change it.

You are born and live in the USA. The housing market has collapsed, your currency is falling and every other country hates you.
OPTIONS; Get involved and change it or do nothing or leave.

You are born in the UK, there are loads of jobs and lots of money about but you can't afford to buy a tiny apartment.
OPTIONS: see above.

Notice anything about this? Well, no matter where you are you have 3 options and only one of them means that you are going to come out of it a winner. GET INVOLVED AND CHANGE THINGS!

Leaving is nice option but unless you are already in a strong position you are going to be much worse off by emigrating. Countries that will take you are limited and generally a lot worse than your own. Would you emigrate to Zimbabwe?

So the way to better yourself and your life is to gather interest - both in your self and in others.

The code that you need to break is the code that has been instilled in you since birth. The code of conduct.

If you can't break that code you will never make a change and your future will be pre-ordained. From Cradle to Grave you will fit into little boxes made up by an actuary somewhere.

You will have spend 70 years taking up space and achieving bog all.

Don't do it.

Make a change.
Crack the code.
