(i)(ELD.NLD) = T.M(Ee)i = THE STRUCTURE OF THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY

Good day Samira, thank you for taking the time to write.

If you read the article can you please articulate why you think that "No really" we started with the wrong foot....Keep in mind by 2012 and hence by the time I wrote that article to remind the academic community that they were promoting then THE WRONG GREEN FOOT there were two options: a) fixing the problem or b) managing the problem.

If we do not fix a problem, and chose to manage it and the management addresses some of the consequences of no fixing the problem and the other unaddressed consequences keep accumulating through time you will find in a situation that a worse problem develops in front of your eyes while you are taking action with the wrong foot.

I am curious to know what is your rational for thinking "No really". Please, share it so we can exchange ideas in a positive environment. I am not here to impose my ideas, but to share ideas to stimulate the growth of accepted scientific knowledge

Respectfully yours;

Ani, I see you perhaps did not take a look at the perfect sustainability market article before commenting as your comment is about the workings of imperfect financial markets, but your comment is relevant as it can be seen from the opposite side imperfect sustainability markets...

But deb management or any type of management of a crisis without FIXING THE ROOTCAUSE of the crisis like with the 2008/2009 financial crisis means soon we will be in the situation "HERE WE GO AGAIN"....

Answer to the Question:

Dear Lucio,

Thank you for bringing attention to your intriguing 2015 article on the True Sustainability Wheel Theory. This concept seems to offer a structured approach to unifying sustainability efforts across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

While I have not yet had the opportunity to read your article in detail, its focus on step-by-step mapping towards sustainability is highly relevant in the face of growing global challenges. I’m particularly interested in how the framework defines "true sustainability" and how it addresses the balance between development needs and resource constraints.

If possible, could you share insights into the practical applications of the True Sustainability Wheel? Specifically:

I look forward to exploring your article further and discussing its applications.

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.

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.

To move from a non-renewable resource-based economy to a more diversified and sustainable one, several approaches have been proposed:

Thank you for writing Dariusz. The period between 1987 WCED report and the future will become known as the period of sustainability paradigm shift avoidance in the annals of economic thoughts that were ignored and the cause of future human misery.....

Es una buena idea leer los artículos antes de comentar para poder compartir las ideas de manera efectiva.

Su comentario es coherente con las recomendaciones dadas después de compartir las ideas en el artículo utilizando el marco P-A-ETK-IRL, puede encontrarlas al final del artículo REPENSANDO LA DEMOCRACIA 102 compartido anteriormente pero que usted no menciona.

Para comprender completamente qué ha cambiado en la estructura del panorama de la democracia liberal desde 2016, debemos pensar en tres conceptos: polarización/caos, polarización/caos dirigida y polarización/caos dirigida efectiva. La ultima forma cambia el panorama ya que esta es mas que solo polarización or emoción.

Aquí comparto las cuatro publicaciones, que están vinculadas por la misma teoría y pensamiento, una apoya a las otras. Y otras publicaciones estan por salir.

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.

I do appreciate your comment

Check the article when you have time Wilfred,

Souyene, when you have time take a look at the ideas in this article about distribution under trickle down effect vrs menudo effect, still relevant today.

Souyene, the article is full of food for thoughts about what environmentalist should focus on achieving consistent with social needs to ensure a responsible renewable energy based world, BUT IT WAS NOT DONE so now we can look back at what went wrong and the cost, environmentally and socially of unsystematic renewable energy policies and unsustainability linkages

When you have time, take a look at the article

Good day Trishika, thank you for taking the time to write.

The article has some good food for thoughts still relevant today, but thinking outside the box.

Adepoju, good day.

If you take the time to read the article you may see that without attitude convergence those good practices you highlight may not be widely implemented.

Valerij, thank you for taking the time to comment.

The article provides a systematic take of the issues using sustainability thinking and tools from outside the box.

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.

Good day Prem, thank you for writing. Wish you find some good food for thoughts in it.

James, thank you for commenting. The reason I wrote that article in 2002 was that I saw moved towards a single focus on human causes only isolated from even the idea that earth is more than humans.

All the aspects you highlighted Jams are consistent with the implication of the simple formula I shared in the article and the piece by piece puzzle implications.

Good morning Harry, thank you for writing. The reasons you provide justifying silence of the part of scientists have merits as they are direct or indirect pressures, be it professional, economic, and political, which is why the world needs now more than ever INDEPENDENT SCIENTISTS so that the record of the history of economic thought and development does not leave out the fact that since 1987 WCED we started a process of trying to manage sustainability problems instead of fixing the root cause creating then with continued with UNCSD 2012 Rio + 20 conference where instead of creating and implementing green markets they continue with the ideas of managing the consequences of environmentally distorted traditional markets, a green market paradigm avoidance process that continues today 2024...

Harry, you may appreciate the following set of articles written with a simple goal of pointing out the irony of promoting non-science based ideas to solve sustainability problems as science based.

I am glad to hear that Eloihi.

In later years, I extended that thinking to share more sustainability related ideas from the market point of view. If you take the eco-economic development model as one based on perfect green market theory, a new world appears....

Exism movements once in power Lucio Muñoz can become permanent dictatorship threats within liberal democracies under majority rule and independent rule of law systems because of a variety of factors. One reason could be the tendency of these movements to consolidate power and marginalize dissenting voices, leading to an erosion of the democratic values that must be upheld for a functioning democracy. Additionally, such movements might manipulate the rules of the democratic system to suit their ambitions, including altering election processes, limiting press freedom, and suppressing opposition. Such actions can create an ongoing cycle of power retention, making these movements a permanent dictatorship threat. Finally, these movements often appeal to populist sentiments, which can generate a significant support base and maintain their hold on power long-term, even in countries that uphold the rule of law and majority rule.

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.

0) How likely do the Yacuruna in Amazonian Myths Represent Europeans?

1)Europeans generally are more hairy then Native Americans. In myths, the Yacuruna sometimes disguise themselves as hairy people.

2)The Yacuruna come from the sea like European sailors did.

3) Similar to the Yacuruna, MAYBE Europeans have been worshipped as gods by the Amazonian people.

4)When a Yacuruna and an indigenous Amazonian reproduce the child would sometimes become more Yacuruna. Similarly, Castizos(75% European and 25% Native American) are sometimes as privileged as just pure Europeans.

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.

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:

Frank, good day. Thank you for commenting.

Can you please read the question carefully, if is about whether the independency assumption explains the origins of the over population problem.

As you said, there was no over population problem and then there was if markets and populations dynamics are independent of each other, how do you go from no population problem to over population problem, that why the question is:

In fact that is precisely the problem I raise with my questions. Searching for "Lithium Resource in the world" seems referring me to Google? Mmmm

Anyway, I google and the system answers me: "According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are 98 million metric tons of Lithium resources across the globe with the largest portion of these resources (53%) located in three South American countries" etc. Mmmmm

If I filter answers in search of more consistent results there is an inflation of primary and secondary data intertwined, where it's also complicated to distinguish between national and commercial interests

Related to the Lithium value, even pulling the financial thread it is not easy to determine its real market value and how it has evolved over time. Google, in this case, highlights a specialized website that don't provide any real source

Actually, this is a typical commodities problem, I know, but I wonder if there are some reliable estimation models that have already been proposed/constructed

The adverse effects that may occur during the pharmacological treatment of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis can vary depending on the specific medication used. Here are some of the common adverse effects associated with commonly used drugs:

It is important to note that the frequency and severity of adverse effects may vary among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as the duration of treatment, dosage, and underlying health conditions. Patients undergoing treatment for leishmaniasis should be closely monitored by healthcare professionals to promptly identify and manage any potential adverse effects.

Dear Md Alimul Haque You are right. There is a wonderful source of identified examples of hijacked journals:https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-hijacked-journal-checker/ The journal “AMA, Agricultural Mechanization in Asia, Africa and Latin America” is included in the list and the website https://www.shin-norinco.com is fake. Most likely this is the reason why they are discontinued from Scopus (see for example and the comments section here https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=65672&tip=sid ).

The original website is most likely: https://www.agriculturalmechanization.com (here you can see that it is a subscription-based journal and only the fake one demands an APC). If you want to see how the real thing looks like check here https://www.agriculturalmechanization.com/download/

Indeed, this journal title (magazine) is the victim of hijacking.

In short term future all forms of energy conversion into electrical energy should be considered, but more effectively renewable energy. Here in Brazil, there are several regions with better hydro, solar and wind power, which, even if distant and watertight, can still be easily integrated into the country's energy matrix and serve the country and its neighbors countrys in a broad way. That is until more efficient energy sources (Nuclear Fusion) are available in long-term future.

They certainly can, especially for those Latinamerican countries which already have experience with conventional nuclear reactors (Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico). Their main advantage is that they already have nuclear technology infrastructure, and the implementation of this new concept will be more accessible. Nevertheless, other countries without this experience can still benefit from the SMR concept. They can be more easily adapted to their national grid than the large Nuclear Power Plants, and the safety and non-proliferation requirements are less complex. In my view, SMRs can be a good energy alternative for many developing nations.

Dear Haimanot,

Yes, that's right. The key factor of economic development is the wealth of the economy and economic entities in particular categories of production factors, including production factors and / or resources enabling the offering of specific services. According to the first trend in the history of economic thought, the school of classical economics includes various resources, raw materials, processed factors of production, etc. classified under three headings: land, labor, capital, among the three key categories of production factors. However, during the 3rd technological revolution in the second half of the 20th century, the development of information technology, ICT information technologies, the development of information and other services based on these technologies, followed by the development of the Internet and other types of technologies, including Industry 4.0, technologies typical of the current fourth technological revolution ( e.g. robotics, artificial intelligence, learning machines, Internet of Things, smart technologies, cloud computing, computerized multidimensional simulation models, Blockchain etc.) this three-element classification of production factors (factors of economic growth) has proved insufficient. In the context of neoclassical trends in economic thought that have been developing since the 1970s, the growing importance of such factors of production processes as: technology, information, data, innovation, entrepreneurship is indicated. In developing economies that aspire to become rich and fully developed economies in the future, having advanced, modern technologies of production and / or offering services is a particularly important development factor. Developing economies are also often knowledge-based economies. In knowledge-based economies, new technologies are becoming one of the key factors of production, economic development and comparative advantage. First of all, information technologies and Industry 4.0. As a result, international technology transfer is sometimes deliberately restricted. On the other hand, internationally operating forms of technology significantly contribute to technology transfer through direct investment carried out in other countries. The pandemic, through the increase in the scale of digitization and internationalization of economic processes, could accelerate this kind of cross-border flow of knowledge and information regarding the methods and techniques of production processes and offering services. Moreover, the ongoing economic and information globalization is also a factor accelerating the processes of cross-border transfer of new technologies. In addition, in the face of growing global problems, such as the health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the growing climate crisis caused by climate change, the progressing global warming process, more frequent droughts and forest fires, increasing environmental pollution, etc. international cooperation should be developed in order to increase the effectiveness of solving global problems of civilization development. As part of this cooperation, new eco-innovations and pro-environmental technologies should be implemented into production processes as soon as possible and should be disseminated on a global scale. The current and future climate change, the growing global climate crisis, like the pandemic, is a global problem. Therefore, solving this kind of key global problems of the development of civilization, creating new, effective instruments for solving these global problems should also be carried out at the international and global level. Therefore, new technologies that are used to solve these global problems should also be available to all countries of the world. In 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic caused a deep economic crisis in the economies of many countries. The scale of the crisis was very diversified depending on the branch and sector structure of the economy. In 2021, thanks to the interventionist, anti-crisis instruments of public aid offered to enterprises and companies in crisis, it was possible to quickly lead the economies out of the economic crisis of 2020. One of the important factors of anti-crisis state aid are also targeted subsidies for the implementation of new investment projects in which modern technologies are used. Efficiently applied anti-crisis programs of socio-economic policy contribute to the growth of entrepreneurship and innovation of companies, enterprises and other types of economic entities. However, on a supra-national scale, international trade wars are still waged between some of the world's major economies, and barriers to the transfer of modern technologies and the flow of production factors are still applied. Such restrictive measures contribute to a slowdown in economic development and limited availability of new technologies for developing countries. On the other hand, globally operating international corporations and the information globalization developing thanks to the Internet contribute to the dissemination of technology on an international scale.

Best regards,

Dariusz
