Wendy, thank you for writing. I noticed that comment you do not mention the need overlooked even by the WCED 1987 to transition from pollution production economies to pollution-less economies such as the transition from environmental pollution production economies to environmentally clean economies, for which you need first to set up POLLUTION REDUCTION MARKETS LIKE GREEN MARKETS, which then can be driven towards environmental pollution-less markets by closing the renewable energy technology gap to make environmental pollution reduction A PROFIT MAKING OPPORTUNITY...
I appreciate the comment.

Answer
I don't think it's advisable to pay for your research or review it. There are free scientific journals that can review your article and publish it without you having to pay any money. These journals work on a peer review system and, from my perspective, are more serious.

What will be the impact of Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including generative artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics, on labor markets in the future?
In recent years, the development of digitization and Internetization of the economy has accelerated. These processes in particular Digitization and Internetization of the economy are now occurring simultaneously in many areas of economic processes, in the functioning of business entities and public, financial and other institutions operating in economies that are increasingly becoming knowledge-based economies. The Covid-19 pandemic has further accelerated the processes of digitization and Internetization of the economy. More and more companies and enterprises operating in various industries and sectors of the economy are expanding their operations via the Internet, remotely providing their services and selling their products through e-commerce.
The development of information processing technologies in the era of the current Fourth Technological Revolution is determined by the development and growth of the applications of ICT, Internet technologies and advanced data processing technologies Industry 4.0. The current technological revolution associated with the concept of Industry 4. 0 is motivated by the development of such technologies as: Big Data Analytics, Data Science, cloud computing, machine learning, multi-layer artificial neural networks-based deep learning, generative artificial intelligence, personal and industrial Internet of Things, Business Intelligence analytics, autonomous robots, horizontal and vertical data system integration, multi-criteria simulation models, digital twins, Blockchain, smart technologies, cyber security instruments, augmented and virtual reality, and other technologies for advanced multi-criteria processing of large sets of data and information.
The processes of digitalization and Internetization of the economy are determined by “upstream” processes, i.e., those inspired by public institutions, including computerization, Internetization of public offices, and “downstream” determinants, i.e., e.g., the growth of e-commerce, the increase in the share of transactions and payments made electronically via the Internet, the development of Internet banking and the shift of a significant part of business in many companies to remote service conducted via the Internet.
In the future, due to the development of applications of Industry 4.0 technologies, including the ever-improving generative artificial intelligence, the employment of people in certain types of professions, occupations in certain industries and sectors of the economy may significantly decline. It is likely that significant declines in employment in some branches and sectors of the knowledge economy will occur in the next few years. There are many indications that in a few years the scale of applications of generative artificial intelligence in various areas of production processes and services provided will increase strongly. On the other hand, the development of applications of constantly improving generative artificial intelligence and other Industry 4.0 technologies will also create new jobs in analytical and research fields. However, just a few years ago, the prevailing thesis was that the scale of job losses would be much greater than the new jobs being created. In a period of rapid technological advances in recent years in the development of generative artificial intelligence technology and its applications, the emerging new jobs in which generative AI technologies are used is the aforementioned thesis begins to lose its relevance. In this regard, it is not out of the question that the number of new jobs and professions being created may fully manage the potentially emerging gap of lack of employment generated by AI technology replacing human labor. Regardless of the nature of the changes in labor markets that will result from the implementation of new Industry 4.0 technologies into various fields of business activities of companies and enterprises, it is certain that the impact on labor markets will be significant and substantial in the years to come.
I have described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technologies in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
And the applications of Big Data technologies in sentiment analysis, business analytics and risk management were described in my co-authored article:
APPLICATION OF DATA BASE SYSTEMS BIG DATA AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE IN INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATION
I invite you to familiarize yourself with the issues described in the publications given above, and to scientific cooperation in these issues.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What will be the impact of Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including generative artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics technologies on labor markets in the future?
What will be the impact of Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies on labor markets in the future?

Answer
Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies will reshape labor markets by automating routine tasks, leading to job displacement in manual roles while creating new opportunities in technology-driven fields such as AI, data analysis, and cybersecurity. Industry 4.0 will focus on automation and data analytics, while Industry 5.0 will emphasize human-robot collaboration and personalization. As a result, workers will need to upskill in digital literacy, problem-solving, and innovation to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving job market.

  • asked a question related to Economics
Question
1 answer
The field of economics is undergoing a transformation, with machine learning (ML) playing a pivotal role in reshaping how researchers, policymakers, and organizations understand and respond to complex economic phenomena. From analyzing vast datasets to predicting market trends, machine learning is becoming a cornerstone of modern economic analysis.
Why Machine Learning in Economics?
Economics has traditionally relied on statistical models to explain relationships between variables. However, as economies grow more complex and datasets expand in size and diversity, traditional methods often struggle to capture the intricacies of economic behavior. This is where machine learning excels.
Machine learning algorithms can handle nonlinear relationships, detect hidden patterns, and make accurate predictions, even with high-dimensional data. These capabilities make ML ideal for addressing challenges like forecasting economic indicators, analyzing consumer behavior, and detecting financial fraud.
Key Applications of Machine Learning in Economics
1. Predictive Analytics
Machine learning is revolutionizing economic forecasting. Models such as decision trees, random forests, and neural networks can predict GDP growth, unemployment rates, and stock market trends with higher accuracy by leveraging vast amounts of historical and real-time data.
2. Market Analysis and Consumer Behavior
E-commerce platforms and businesses use ML to analyze purchasing patterns, segment customers, and predict demand. In economics, these insights help inform pricing strategies and market regulations.
3. Financial Market Insights
ML techniques, such as sentiment analysis on news and social media, help economists gauge investor sentiment. These insights, combined with predictive models, aid in identifying potential market disruptions and optimizing investment portfolios.
4. Policy Impact Assessment
Machine learning models can simulate the impact of policy changes on various economic indicators. For instance, ML can predict how tax reforms or subsidies will influence employment, inflation, or consumer spending.
5. Fraud Detection
Economic activities, particularly in finance, are susceptible to fraudulent practices. Machine learning algorithms, especially anomaly detection models, are used to identify suspicious transactions and patterns in financial systems, ensuring stability and security.
Challenges and Ethical Considerations
While the potential of machine learning in economics is vast, several challenges remain:
  • Data Quality and Availability: Economic datasets often have missing values or inconsistencies, which can compromise model performance.
  • Bias in Algorithms: Machine learning models can perpetuate existing biases in economic data, leading to skewed insights.
  • Interpretability: Many ML models, especially deep learning, are considered "black boxes," making it difficult for economists to explain their predictions.
  • Ethical Implications: As ML influences economic policies, it’s essential to ensure decisions are transparent, fair, and beneficial for society.
Future Directions
The intersection of machine learning and economics is still in its early stages, but its potential is immense. Future developments might include:
  • Integration of Digital Twins: Creating real-time, ML-driven economic simulations to test policies before implementation.
  • AI-Augmented Decision-Making: Combining human expertise with AI insights for more balanced economic decisions.
  • Sustainable Economic Models: Leveraging ML to design frameworks for sustainable growth, focusing on green energy, resource management, and equitable wealth distribution.

Maria, good day. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I wrote the article to leave that fact and knowledge out there since 2017 as the issue will not go away, you can avoid it for a long time while worsening the problem you are avoiding to fix in the first place and according to Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop sooner or later the abnormality we choose to manage instead of fixing will be addressed with the proper paradigm shift....
To support the ideas in this paper you need to leave the traditional economic knowledge base behind an go to green macro economics and green microeconomis or go to red macro economics or red microeconomics or go to yellow macroeconomics and yellow microeconomics and think in terms of perfect green markets, perfect red markets and perfect sustainability markets or yellow perfect markets respectively, and for these reasons I expanded the ideas in that article with the following ones to close the paradigm shift knowledge gaps created when you shift to higher level model thinking, which you may find full of food for thoughts:

My apologies Samira, my request " I am curious to know what is your rational for thinking "No really" was made in good faith, not as a criticism, as I appreciate you took the time to comment....
If your comment is about the actual ideas in the paper, then "No really" does not fit as it is a fact that because the whole world avoided in 2012 to actually go green markets to address head on the environmental crisis, the science based choice the UNCSD 2012 indicated it was going to go then, and publications by UN such as "A blue print for the green economy" were advance then to support that global transition, but in the end they went the way of externality management like for example environmental externality management markets, which every country has one way or another.
Your reply make it clear to me that your reply "Not really" is not related to the actual content of the paper, but realities on the ground, which are relevant and I respect.
My apologies if I made you feel uncomfortable with my request to expand your view and thank you for replying.

In a world of environmentally dirty markets, how we treat the pollution problem determines the nature of each market and its structure, which raises the question: Can you see the similarities and differences between Pollution production markets, Pollution reduction markets, and Pollution management markets?

Dear Abhiji, thank you for taking the time to write. This question is tricky because it needs to be looked from outside the box or outside traditional economic thinking.
The similarity is that all of them are markets and can be framed as perfect markets, but each of them has a different knowledge base that supports its working. For example, the knowledge based of pollution production markets DOES NOT WORK in pollution reduction markets.

Relevant answer
Answer
In 2012, a profound shift in economic thinking began to emerge as societies grappled with sustainability issues & the shift highlighted a critical examination of our reliance on traditional economic models that prioritize short-term growth over long-term ecological stability. One of the primary reasons for this regression in economic thinking is the pervasive reliance on outdated metrics, such as GDP, which often overlooks environmental costs & social well-being. Further complicating this issue is the tendency to view sustainability as a niche concern rather than an integral component of economic strategy. As policymakers and businesses prioritize immediate profits, sustainable practices are frequently sidelined, leading to a cycle of exploitation and degradation of natural resources. Additionally, the influence of powerful lobbying groups often skews the conversation, hindering the advancement of innovative, sustainable practices. While we have the tools and knowledge to forge a sustainable path forward, the inertia of old economic paradigms, coupled with resistance to change and a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration, has caused us to stagnate. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental rethinking of our economic principles, integrating sustainability as a core value rather than an afterthought, and fostering a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of our economies, environments, and societies.

Osama, since 1987 WCED the world knew that there was a need to transition systematically, locally and globally, to clean economies and leave pollution production economies like the coal based economy and the oil based economy behind. No plan has ever been made, even the paris agreement avoids going beyond managing externalities a la sustainable development.... The paper is above a step by step way to do it if one day the world has to do it..... The sustainability crisis under management sooner or later will backfire and force a more painful and faster local and global transition from pollution production economies to pollution reduction economies and then to clean economies....You can see the trend of the crisis from bad to worse by looking at data WCED 1987 and 2024....while the problem has been under management instead of being fixed....

Muñoz, Lucio, 2011.  From Dying to Eternal Economies: When Should the Paradigm Shift from the Non-Renewable Resource Based to the Renewable Resource Based Economy Take Place?, En: Desastres Naturales, REDESMA, Vol.5(2), October, La Paz, Bolivia.
Relevant answer
Answer
In 2011, economic discussions often centered on the challenges faced by economies heavily reliant on non-renewable resources, such as oil and minerals. These economies, sometimes referred to as "dying economies" due to their vulnerability to resource depletion and market volatility, were contrasted with more sustainable or "eternal" economies that diversified their economic activities.
Key Concepts:
  1. Resource Curse: This theory suggests that countries abundant in non-renewable resources may experience slower economic growth due to factors like volatility in commodity prices, governance challenges, and neglect of other economic sectors.
  2. Dutch Disease: A phenomenon where a resource boom leads to currency appreciation, making other export sectors less competitive and potentially stunting overall economic development.
  3. Economic Diversification: The strategy of broadening an economy's base by developing various sectors to reduce dependence on a single resource, thereby enhancing resilience and sustainability.
Transition Strategies:
To move from a non-renewable resource-based economy to a more diversified and sustainable one, several approaches have been proposed:
  • Investing in Human Capital: Enhancing education and skills to support the development of new industries.
  • Developing Infrastructure: Building transportation, communication, and energy infrastructure to facilitate economic activities beyond resource extraction.
  • Strengthening Institutions: Improving governance and regulatory frameworks to support business development and attract investment in diverse sectors.
  • Promoting Innovation: Encouraging research and development to foster new industries and technologies.
Case Studies:
  • Botswana: Successfully utilized diamond revenues to invest in education and infrastructure, leading to diversified economic growth.
  • Chile: Managed copper wealth prudently and invested in other sectors, achieving a more balanced economy.

Relevant answer
Answer
Geoffrey, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Keep in mind, the margins once internalized by all producers/ firms or agricultural producers/firms do not remain static, trade margins become the drivers of fair trade production towards maximizing fair trade profits at the lowest fair trade market price possible, meaning at the lowest fair trade margin possible; and hence, making that way fair trade margin reduction a good fair trade profit making opportunity while driving those markets towards clean fair trade markets as the fair trade margins added tend towards zero.

The current trend appearing to have come from nowhere in 2024 promoting economic circularity to solve a sustainability problem embedded in it is mind boggling, which leads to the question: If a linearly polluting society is not sustainable, how can a circularity polluting society be sustainable?
Perhaps someone promoting economic circularity can explain
Note:
This question is academic, not political.
Relevant answer
Answer
While a circular economy has the potential to reduce waste and promote sustainable resource use, it is not a guaranteed solution to sustainability challenges. It must be implemented thoughtfully, considering its broader environmental impacts, and integrated with other sustainable practices to ensure it contributes positively to ecological health and social well-being. This comprehensive approach can work towards a truly sustainable future, moving beyond merely circular or linear paradigms.
Transitioning to a circular economy requires a shift in mindsets and behaviors. If individuals and companies continue to consume at an unsustainable rate, even within a circular model, the overall impact may still be negative. An effective circular economy demands changes in consumer behavior, business practices, and policies to foster sustainable consumption.
Circular processes, such as recycling, can often be energy-intensive. If the energy used in these processes comes from fossil fuels, that could lead to significant carbon emissions, making the idea of circularity less sustainable overall.
It's crucial to consider that sustainability is not just about reducing pollution, but also about social equity, economic viability, and ecosystem health. A circular model must integrate these broader perspectives to be truly sustainable.
Sustainable circularity should be synergistic with other sustainability models, such as regenerative practices, which focus on restoring ecosystems, and principles of social justice, ensuring that the benefits of economic activity are equitably distributed.

Answer
The notion of a unified world underpinned by industrial primacy while sidelining commercial interests poses profound questions about the future of global cooperation, the balance of power, and the potential for conflict in an increasingly multipolar world. The outcomes of these dynamics could reshape international relations and influence economic models for decades to come.
The transition from the U.S.-Soviet rivalry to what you're describing as the "era of the Warring States" reflects a complex geopolitical landscape characterized by fragmented power dynamics and the rise of emerging economies. In this new world order, traditional superpower rivalries have given way to a multipolar framework where various nations pursue their own interests, often leading to competition and conflict.
In this context, the concept of a country prioritizing industrial development while suppressing commercial interests can be interpreted through the lens of nationalism and state-driven economic models.
Nations that prioritize heavy industrialization and seek to centralize control over their economies may aim for self-sufficiency and greater global influence. These countries might invest heavily in technology, infrastructure, and human capital, viewing industrial prowess as a means to enhance their international standing and attract global partnerships.
This approach might involve limiting foreign competition, protecting domestic industries, and implementing policies that favor state-owned enterprises or public-private partnerships. By doing so, these nations could aim to create a strong internal market that fosters economic growth and innovation.
As countries pursue industrialization aggressively, the potential for conflict increases. Nations might compete for resources, markets, and influence, leading to tension and rivalry. This competition can manifest in trade wars, military conflicts, or ideological clashes.
In this scenario, countries like China or India could be viewed as potential unifiers in a fragmented global landscape. Their large populations, growing economic clout, and strategic initiatives (like China's Belt and Road Initiative) reflect attempts to assert influence over global trade routes and bolster their geopolitical interests.
The rapid advancement of technology can serve as both a catalyst for industrialization and a factor that disrupts traditional commerce. Innovations in automation, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing processes may allow nations to achieve unprecedented levels of productivity, potentially reshaping global supply chains and economic relationships.

Question

Since 1987 we have been trying to solve a sustainability issue like the eco-economic development issue through sustainable development means, a theory-practice inconsistency, so not surprise the social and environmental sustainability issues the Brundtland Commission highlighted then to be addressed are in worse state today,,,,Pollution still increasing and the sustainability problem more acute.
If the price distortions embedded in Adam Smith's traditional market model thinking are not addressed head on, the Thomas Kuhn.s paradigm evolution loop suggest that the worsening of the environmental abnormalities embedded fully in the traditional market thinking and partially in dwarf green market thinking will push the environmentally patched business as usual model towards collapse, which raises the question: Does the Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop predicts the future collapse of dwarf green markets?
I think yes, what do you think?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Lucio,
In my opinion, Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop can indeed be a valuable tool in understanding the future development (or decline) of so-called “dwarf green markets.” Kuhn argued that science (and, more broadly, cognitive paradigms in society) develops through revolutionary change rather than gradual evolution. In short, when the current paradigm ceases to explain reality and its internal contradictions become too severe, a crisis arises, leading to the emergence of a new paradigm.
In the context of sustainable development, the issue has long struggled with theoretical and practical inadequacies, as was clearly evident since the 1987 Brundtland Report. Despite efforts to implement sustainable development solutions, issues such as pollution and climate change continue to worsen. In this sense, as you yourself note, there is a growing inconsistency between sustainability theory and actual results. In Kuhn's model, we could interpret this as a sign of a growing crisis in the paradigm of the traditional market economy, which is unable to respond effectively to environmental challenges.
Besides, “dwarfing green markets” could be seen as an attempt to patch up the existing system, which is itself structurally flawed. The traditional market model, based on Adam Smith's principles that reward short-term profits and ignore long-term environmental costs, distorts the real prices of green goods. Green markets, which are largely part of the current system, do not offer a full paradigm shift - rather, they represent a minimal modification of the paradigm, attempting to introduce green principles into a model that was not designed with sustainability in mind.
Viewed from Kuhn's perspective, these “patched” systems have limited sustainability. If the price distortions and imperfections of the traditional market model continue to worsen, as seems inevitable in the face of growing ecological problems, the current paradigm could enter a crisis phase. This leads to the possibility of the collapse of “dwarf green markets” as too weak to survive, and the need to replace them with a new, more radical approach to sustainability.
In view of the above, it can be concluded that Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop actually suggests that the future collapse of dwarf green markets is highly probable. In the longer term, there may be a breakthrough that will replace the current imperfect solutions with a new paradigm based on more fundamental economic and social changes that will be better able to respond to the challenges of sustainable development.
I would hereby like to add that Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop can be interpreted as a key model to explain both the potential demise of “dwarf green markets” and the need to implement a fundamental green transformation of the economy. Sustainable economic development, the green transformation of the economy, and the development of fully green markets are concepts that go beyond Adam Smith's traditional market paradigm, based on short-term profits and ignoring long-term environmental costs. The rationale for pursuing a green transition is based on the fact that only by building a zero-carbon, circular and environmentally responsible economy will it be possible to meet the challenges of sustainable development and minimize further negative impacts of climate change and ecosystem degradation.
To summarize these considerations of mine, Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop can be seen as an argument that without implementing fundamental changes in economic thinking, current “patched” models of sustainability, such as “dwarf green markets,” will not survive. Their place will be taken by more holistic and responsible economic models that are better suited to the challenges of the modern world. A circular economy, zero-carbon, based on renewable energy and integrated with corporate social responsibility, is the future that will truly achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
I pointed out various aspects of this important issue for the future of the planet, the future of the planet's climate and biosphere, and for the future of future generations of people in my article:

Would workers desire labor unions less if Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs guided distributing an economic basis for each individual? How? Why?
Relevant answer
Answer
If Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs guided the distribution of economic resources, workers might desire labor unions less because:
  1. Basic Needs Met: If employers effectively address physiological and safety needs (e.g., fair wages, job security), workers may feel less compelled to unionize for these essentials.
  2. Higher Needs Focus: With foundational needs satisfied, workers might prioritize self-actualization and belonging, potentially leading to greater satisfaction within existing organizational structures.
  3. Increased Employer Responsibility: If companies actively promote personal and professional growth, the perceived need for collective bargaining may diminish.
However, some workers might still seek unions to address inequities, ensure fair practices, or advocate for their higher-level needs, indicating that unions may still play a crucial role in advocating for workers' rights and interests.

Why is there still no information on product packaging and advertisements about the level of CO2 emissions from the production process of a specific product?
Why is there still no information on product packaging and advertising about the level of emissions and environmental pollution generated during the production process of a specific product?
On the packaging of anti-products, products that are harmful to health, stimulants such as cigarettes, there is information warning the citizens of consumers about the harmfulness to health of smoking cigarettes. If citizens have succeeded, through activists in NGOs and some political circles, in lobbying for compulsory information on the harmfulness to health, the risk of developing lung cancer and other diseases resulting from smoking, cigarettes, why analogous solutions still do not work for other types of anti-products and harmful stimulants, including stimulants to which one can easily become addicted. Besides, one of the most negative aspects of using some other stimulants is causing car accidents after drinking and driving. Many fatal car accidents are caused after taking intoxicating stimulants such as alcohol and, for example, some painkillers, tranquilizers and the like. So why is it that the packaging of these drugs and their advertisements do not warn about the negative consequences of their improper use.
Analogous is the issue of the problem of emissivity, i.e. the emission of CO2, methane and other greenhouse gases and environmental pollution by waste emitted during the production process that is harmful to human health and the state of the biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems. After all, it has been known for years that greenhouse gas emissions generated by production and other economic processes are a major factor in the realized greenhouse effect of the planet's atmosphere since the beginning of the first industrial revolution and the increasingly rapid process of global warming. Many citizens, with a view to the future of their children's and grandchildren's livelihoods in the future of the next decades of time, would probably choose among highly substitutable products and/or services those whose production process involves lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions and/or lower emissions of polluting wastes that are harmful to human health and to the state of the biosphere and biodiversity. Apparently, the activities of pro-social, pro-environmental and pro-climate non-governmental organizations and activist organizations carrying out pro-social, pro-environmental and/or pro-climate activities are too weak in the face of lobbying by business, industrial corporations, many companies and enterprises that can afford to finance election campaigns of political parties pursuing their business interests.

Answer
I try my best:
The concept of "Classics as Foundations" is explored in this aphorism.
The success of films is frequently attributed to their basis in classic works, which are perceived as relatable and interesting. This assertion indicates that cinematic works rooted in classic literature, myths, or well-known stories frequently achieve success due to their capacity to resonate profoundly with audiences. Classics represent time-tested narratives that have already demonstrated their appeal and relatability. They tap into universal themes, human emotions, and experiences that audiences find engaging and compelling. By basing films on these enduring stories, filmmakers can leverage existing interest and familiarity, which can contribute to the film’s success.
Artistic Success Beyond Technical Skills:
"The trajectory of my film career has been and is perhaps successful despite my relative lack of technical skills. Arts, including filmmaking, have both practical applications and fundamental tenets." This view underscores the idea that success in the arts does not depend entirely on technical proficiency. While technical proficiency is undoubtedly important, it is not the sole determinant of success. Creativity, vision, storytelling, and the ability to connect with audiences are also critical elements that contribute to success.
I hope this will help:)

Is it moral, socially and environmentally ethical for large dominant power companies generating energy mainly from burning coal and lignite to turn off other RES-based energy sources, is it consistent with climate policy and is it consistent with human rights?
In a situation of rising energy prices and the need to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, is it moral, social and environmental to shut down the large dominant power companies that generate energy mainly from burning coal and lignite other sources of energy, including mainly the cheapest and emission-free generation of electricity, shutting down power plants based on photovoltaic panels, not accepting periodic increases in energy production generated from the sun and wind, so as not to reduce energy production from dirty, high-emission energy based on burning coal is moral, socially and environmentally ethical, is in line with climate policy and is in line with human rights?
I ask because such an irrational situation exists in the country where I operate. In my opinion, in a situation of rising energy prices and the need to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, the shutdown of power plants based on photovoltaic panels by the large dominant power companies that produce energy mainly from the combustion of coal and lignite other sources of energy, including mainly the cheapest and emission-free production of electricity, not adopting a periodic increase in energy production generated from the sun and wind, so as not to reduce energy production from dirty, high-emission coal-burning power plants is not moral, socially and environmentally ethical, not in line with sound climate policy and not in line with human rights. The key problem with climate, environmental and energy policy is that it is not conducted fairly. Instead, it is conducted haphazardly, shortsightedly, unstrategically and is politicized in the negative sense of the word. Despite the fact that most of the mining sector, coal and lignite mines, companies in the energy sector and the country's largest fuel and energy company, which holds more than 90 percent of the domestic market share in the sale of motor fuels, are state-owned companies and could carry out in an efficient, comprehensive and strategic manner the process of green energy transition, they unfortunately do not do so. There are many indications that climate, environmental and energy policies are being conducted haphazardly and short-sightedly. The full synergy and correlation that should occur between these policies is missing. Unfortunately, economic aspects are also not key, as they are mixed with political aspects, in which the economic calculus is not treated as a principled factor, and this is in addition to the high level of indebtedness of the state's public finance system and the growing level of the budget deficit in the central state budget. The government has pledged to implement the green transformation of the economy in accordance with the European Union's Green Deal plan. The country receives subsidies from the European Union for the implementation of this plan, including subsidies from the National Reconstruction Plan, which should be allocated mainly to efficiently carried out green investments to carry out the green transformation of the energy industry and achieve the goal of building a sustainable, emission-free energy industry in the shortest possible time. However, this is not happening. Onshore wind power development is still administratively and normatively largely restricted. On sunny, cloudless days and when the wind is blowing, additional energy is generated from already installed photovoltaic panels and wind farms, which is not collected from prosumers by large power companies due to unsuitable transmission networks. Besides, the dominant power companies in the market do not collect clean energy from the mentioned RES sources in order not to reduce the production of energy generated by the conventional method of burning coal and lignite. In addition, the dominant energy companies are lobbying in the political sphere to restrict the development of RES and are causing restrictions on the process of issuing permits for citizens to make further connections to the power grid of prosumer wind turbines and/or photovoltaic installations built by citizens. In addition, there is another extension of the start of construction and implementation of the project to build the first nuclear power plant in a country where the energy industry still relies 3/4 on conventional energy production, i.e. on the basis of burning fossils, much of which is imported, there are situations of energy shortages and eggs to buy from abroad, and the quality of air due to the dominance of combustion energy in the heating season is among the worst in Europe. On the basis of my research, I conclude that this activity is immoral, socially and environmentally unethical, does not comply with climate policy and is not compatible with human rights. Confirmation of the aforementioned thesis is provided by the results of the research I described in my publications given below.
In the following article, I have included the results of the research conducted on the connection of the issue of sustainable development, the genesis and meaning of the Sustainable Development Goals, the essence of sustainable development in the context of social, normative, economic, environmental, climate, and human rights aspects, etc. The research also addressed the issue of key determinants of human existential security as an element of the concept of sustainable development.

Dear Dariusz,
Thank you for posing a technical question that combines international law (consensus decisions by the world's peoples, put into treaties, on the key approaches consistent with human survival and with the long term survival of their nations and the cultures within them and that are essentially the definition of universal "morality") with social science standards. My answer as an international lawyer and social scientist is a definite YES, through application of the UN Genocide Convention, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and other resolutions that are implementing documents that specify indigenous people's rights to their environments and their protection as well as declarations on sustainability like the Rio Convention. This isn't directly enforceable on energy/power companies since the law binds governments to act, but many such companies are state owned and of course they are state chartered and regulated, and this question isn't just about energy companies. It applies to other actors as well, including the international community itself. You can see in my articles on ResearchGate that I have analyzed the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as themselves in violation of international law (and largely promoting company interests) and even the discipline of Economics ("Is Ecoomics in Violation of International Law?") to show how the standards would be applied in courts under international law.

Science is all knowledge obtained through observation and the systematic and reasoned study of nature, society, and thought. Science is fundamental to understanding the world around us and improving our lives. Its objective is to discover the laws that govern the phenomena of reality and understand and explain them. It uses verifiable norms and criteria to study phenomena based on observation, formulation of hypotheses, experimentation, and conclusions. It aims to understand the general principles that govern phenomena, from mathematics to natural or social sciences. It values ​​the knowledge accumulated from previous research and considers the background as a starting point. It produces knowledge necessary to interpret reality and stimulate human and social development.

Since 1987 WCED report "Our Common Future" pollution has been increasing, not decreasing, as no pollution reduction markets have been set up yet to transition towards pollution-less markets, which raises the question: Why should we expect pollution management markets to lead us increasingly away and away from pollution-less markets?.
Any ideas to the why?
Note: If you understand the difference between how pollution management markets and pollution reduction markets in terms of pollution-less market transition friendliness work, you may be able to see why.

Most in researchgate may be familiar with concepts like golden paradigms and flawed paradigm and paradigm evolution, but what about the idea that links them all, which may lead to or be behind distorted knowledge based policy action.
And this makes the following question interesting based on a new term: What is a golden trojan paradigm?
What do you think? Why?
Relevant answer
Answer
It is my guess only Lucio Muñoz that any golden Trojan paradigm in science has to cover the need of theoretical unification for a certain stage of cognitive human development, e.g. relativity in physics, evolution in biology, behaviorism in psychology. In this sense, the traditional market thinking a la Adam Smith did fit very well into the emergence of the industrial age, in terms of ideological unification.

In my next papers I will focus on the fact that past development assumptions made affecting system stability have complicated policy correction and action in terms of system stability problems, like the assumption that market dynamics and population dynamics are independent factors affecting system stability.
And this raises the question: If markets were optimal since 1776, then from where the over population problem came from?
What do you think?
Relevant answer
Answer
Good day Frank, this question is about optimality based 1776 traditional market and going from optimality assumptions and no population problems to later over production, over consumption, and over population dynamics problems creating environmental problems/system stability problems, where markets and population dynamics are assumed to be independent factors, capture in the question:
If markets were optimal since 1776, then from where the over population problem came from?
Where the over population problem came from in your view?
Respectfully yours;

  1. "People wrongly blame God for everything BECAUSE He is almighty. But (assuming he exists) it doesn't follow that he might not be blameworthy for other reasons. Also, such other reasons may have nothing to do with one's own actions.
  2. "Excessive compliments are suspicious and pointless." One possible suspicion may be that their point is sarcasm or irony.
It's not obvious why you linked the two assertions together as a discussion topic. What do you perceive their connection to be?

Under perfect market paradigm shift avoidance, the responsibilities of governments and of corporations in development change, which raises the question: Under perfect market paradigm shift avoidance, who is to be blamed if social and/or environmental systems collapse, governments or corporations? Why?
Who do you think is to be blamed? And why do you think that is the case?
A short answer who and why is the best.
Relevant answer
Blaming either governments or corporations exclusively for social and environmental collapses under a perfect market paradigm shift avoidance oversimplifies a complex issue. Both entities play significant roles in shaping policies, regulations, and practices affecting these systems (Bäckstrand & Lövbrand, 2016). Governments are responsible for setting and enforcing regulations to protect society and the environment, while corporations must prioritize ethical and sustainable practices (Amaeshi et al., 2016). Failure often stems from a lack of collaboration and accountability between them, highlighting the need for shared responsibility and cooperative solutions (Bansal & Hoffman, 2012). Thus, assigning blame should focus on encouraging collaboration rather than attributing sole responsibility.

Answer
According to different sources consulted, Niccolò Macchiavelli was an Italian philosopher, politician, and writer born in Florence on May 3, 1469. He is often accused of being cynical, but his legacy in political history is significant. Let's look at some key aspects:
1. Political Realism: Machiavelli emphasized the importance of state stability and the need to understand politics as it was, not as it should be. His work "The Prince" is a treatise on power and governance, where he argues that leaders must make pragmatic decisions based on reality, even if that involves morally questionable actions.
2. The End Justifies the Means: Machiavelli maintained that, in politics, the end justifies the means. Leaders must be willing to take drastic measures if it benefits the state or the ruler. This idea has influenced political leaders and theorists throughout the centuries, although it has also been very controversial.
3. His Role in History: Machiavelli was an official of the Florence Republic and held the second chancellor position. Despite not always being successful in politics, he managed to reconquer Pisa in 1509, a vital port for the Florentine republic.
