View points on wealth generation
Eastern and Western viewpoints
What is the difference between the western and eastern views basically?
View points
Cow is respected by the Hindus, but not in the western view point. The westerners respect and value the products from the cow. They love the milk, ice-cream, cheese, curd etc but not the cow. Similarly they value the products useful for them in enhancing their physical needs and comforts. If the products are from another human remotely, the attachment is not out of love for the living human being. In spite of all the technological marvels and the scientific knowledge humanity has acquired, the difference in these directed view points persist in large percentage of the global population. This is what made Socrates drink the poison and Jesus crucified.
Equality and sharing
When we consider everybody equal and start valuing our nearest neighbour as at least just another human, the world will start changing. Our electronic technology must help us reformulate the global rules for sharing our resources with our nearest neighbours. This restraints randomising the goals and orientation of the human society. This can change our gigantic concepts and designs of global earthly resources management, construction of space colonies, new wealth generation etc. and help us refocus our attention on what the humanity needs on the Earth for the welfare and happiness peace.
Is IT relevant?
What is all these discussion about in a software development blog site? Just look at the trend of electronic networks and the web products. Every category of product is an ever increasing list, be it an application, electronic store or web services. I am not worried about the increasing creation of new languages for the machine optimization, by the software experts. They do have strong standard bases and restraints from proliferation. But our artificial illusory worlds created anew, by every new user, using these languages have infinite colours and possibilities, enjoyable, definitely, by each individual skillfull artists. But what about the consumers of the results? Do the programers, end users and artists and the “consumers” have real consensus or clarity regarding the end results? All the software products are placed before the entire human population on the networks, television, computer and mobile screens to be acted upon by individual user or the “enjoyer”. Is there any way an individual can choose what to see on the screen optimised for the usefulness in that individual's life? Almost all recommendations chosen using robots or ArtificiaI Intelligence (AI) run into a long list from which the individual choice becomes just a random, unjudged 'test use'. The process being automated, enormous amount of human lifetime is spent uselessly, driven by the projection power of Electricity! The actual end result of day-long exercises of reactive screen input-output responses is just the biological exhaustion of the individual human being, without any records whatsoever of the amplified effects on the humanity on the Earth as a whole. We should learn how to respect the cow, and not only the products.
Usefulness of Employment
We have large number of programs to generate work, self-employment, entertainment and thrill but very few which actually generate an income, wealth, welfare or richness in our human life. The AI oriented software induces a work-culture which helps technology grow, a habitual factory oriented life style, and some, yet to be evaluated, physical comforts and entertainment towards the end of the day.
In the physical world what is sought individually is the gratification of the senses and the mind now, and the desires, ambitions and envisioned higher goals of the future.
Can these needs be fulfilled globally, through our current technology network considered as a United Provider? Who can be told what should be designed and implemented further, so that nobody feels dejected or frustrated during the short human life- span? Which electronic programs or applications can bring abundance, joy and needs-fulfilling real Wealth, globally, uniformly?
