Many people are saying that life is not going to be the same going forward post Covid-19.\u00a0 Very little exciting details are mentioned.\u00a0 Some of the negative effects mentioned are the fact that economy will have to rebuild, ownership patterns will change, the hygiene emphasis will be enhanced, some social distancing will become the norm, governments might play a bigger role because of their underwriting of debt, more tracking of personal movement and association will become the norm.\u00a0 None of these excite a free human spirit wishing to understand themselves, the world, and being able to contribute and be valuable to society.<\/p>\n
Bearing in mind the conceptual principles of the Threefold Social Order<\/strong>, here are some thoughts and aligned concepts that are fairly simple and close to everyday competence and consciousness that could really shift the future in a healthy, effective and sustainable way in South Africa.\u00a0 They might not be too different where you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 – Reconnecting competence and capital by changing the way Banks lend.<\/strong><\/p>\n During this period of Lockdowns, people in the economic sphere have been separated from their capital.\u00a0 This separation is likely to stay this way for many previously sustainable small businesses because they will not have the capital to restart having lost their savings in trying to cover fixed overheads during the lockdown period.\u00a0 Despite their competence and experience in their area of economic activity, to raise more capital, the banks, as they operate today, will require security for the new loan to assist with restarting their businesses or, in my words, reconnecting their human competence with capital.\u00a0 The banks are unlikely to be this flexible thus ensuring that many competent human beings with lots of experience will remain outside of the economic sphere at huge cost to the overall economy and society at large.\u00a0 This is, for a society, like asking a physical human body to function with its digestive system removed.\u00a0 Where is the sustenance going to come from?\u00a0 No food for a living person or the means to convert it to energy, and no tax to fund the infrastructure, courts, jails, police, basic services, arts and culture and so on.\u00a0 These are similar in nature.<\/p>\n The current conceptual bankruptcy in not seeing this problem will not change the way society is structured going forward.\u00a0 There needs to be a new conceptual framework, not a mile away from the way things currently work, but different enough that it adds the salt needed to connect this separated human competence to capital again in a sensible and affordable way.\u00a0 The change required \u2013 set up risk funds with the express mandate to reconnect honourable human competence and experience with capital sufficient to get going again<\/strong>. There is plenty capital lazing around societies around the world that is needing exactly this \u2013 to be reconnected to the human spirit.\u00a0 A fraction of this dead capital would suffice and liberate the State as we know it from burdensome support of the jobless masses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a02 – SOE\u2019s (State owned enterprises) only in exceptional circumstances. Most of current batch sold or closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n The conceptual blunder in this sphere, the Rights sphere, is that they are part of the economy.\u00a0 This is nonsense.\u00a0 Economy has to do with providing relevant products and services for the material needs of others efficiently.\u00a0 The State can never achieve this as their role is completely different in concept.\u00a0 They always want to attach rights to money to the State. They also want to attach money to those that keep the State in power.\u00a0 This is like having you heart digesting your breakfast and your nerves conveying oxygenated blood.<\/p>\n How can the State be paying the salaries of the SOE\u2019s with taxpayers\u2019 money while these taxpayers are locked up at home because of some uncertain enemy?\u00a0 Rather use this hard-earned money to fund the infrastructure and salaries of good teachers to improve basic education in a country where education standards are amongst the worst in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3 – Remove racism from the economy \u2013 no BBBEE (Broad based black economic empowerment). Get mentorships going instead. Incentivise EE (Employment Equity) rather than punish.<\/strong><\/p>\n Capital is created when human ingenuity connects with nature products and then the working of different people in the differentiation of labour.\u00a0 An example would be making a chair from wood.\u00a0 The price of a chair drops when specialisation occurs in the differentiation of labour where one person\u2019s ingenuity goes to buying the right wood, another to the design of the chair and the processes of assembly, another to the costing and so on.\u00a0 The market, together with the manufacturer determine a value during the trade for this product.\u00a0 Where is the race of the people involved in such a transaction?\u00a0 I cannot see it!\u00a0 It is all about human ingenuity and experience.\u00a0 When rights get attached to one\u2019s race, all relevance and efficiency become secondary because of this right that becomes attached to one\u2019s race. This makes the whole society poor.\u00a0 Remove the rights attached to race<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 – Encourage discreet religious freedom and remove curriculum interference.\u00a0 Fund schools.\u00a0 Union directed employment of teachers can surely not dictate our children\u2019s orientation to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n All people want to understand themselves and the world out of their very nature as human beings.\u00a0 Animals don\u2019t to this.\u00a0 Human beings do.\u00a0 If you remove this need and right from human beings, you push them towards being animals.\u00a0 Animals can learn but they don\u2019t realise that they are learning.\u00a0 They are not conscious.\u00a0 It is a gross infringement of human liberty to try to force their search for meaning out of their grasp.\u00a0 Allow our individual search for meaning<\/strong>.\u00a0 Don\u2019t think that this can be bottled into a politically branded Super Vote container.\u00a0 God won\u2019t allow this even if some political beneficiaries of society will \u2013 for a while.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5 – Apply the law equally.\u00a0 Stop targeting specific groups and adopting an \u2018example\u2019 philosophy.\u00a0 Keep criminals serving their term.<\/strong><\/p>\n When the State allocates rights on a race or political orientation basis, all those excluded from this circle go negative, underground.\u00a0 This breeds conflict, self-entitlement, race and rights-based opposition, court congestion and more.\u00a0 People simply don\u2019t give their best from either those with unfair access to rights and opportunity, or from those with a cattle brand stating that they are second rate citizens just because of their race, religion, or political allegiance.\u00a0 Just apply fair laws equally. Look to the future, not retribution.\u00a0 Be bigger than past<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 6 – Strict and fair tax collection. No corruption and waste of taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Treasure every cent of taxes collected.\u00a0 Collect it from everyone fairly and equally.\u00a0 Having removed the rights relating to race, religion, and political allegiance, set up excellent systems to ensure no abuse of tax money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In summary, these six points, at least, are not complicated, have conceptual clarity and objectivity, require selflessness, diligence and more.\u00a0 They will, if taken into our higher human intentions, lead to a sustainable and vital revival of the economy, a sense of freedom to find meaning in life, and sense of equity amongst the people of South Africa from where we can build something even better, and as an example for the world.<\/p>\n Why follow the chaos?<\/p>\n If each of us begins to work at gaining conceptual clarity in our thinking of these issues the decisions we make and action will begin to change and, therefore, the environment around us will begin to change.\u00a0 Something like the following will begin to emerge in Society:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_comments _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_alignment=”left” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_comments][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many people are saying that life is not going to be the same going forward post Covid-19.\u00a0 Very little exciting details are mentioned.\u00a0 Some of the negative effects mentioned are the fact that economy will have to rebuild, ownership patterns will change, the hygiene emphasis will be enhanced, some social distancing will become the norm, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"1400","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fraternity"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
