Political Gestalt of the Fractured Global Era

Notably all of the major political theory systems were constructed before the electronic era. Even the major economic systems were invented before the first generator was sold. In the post-industrial age such as has overtaken much of first-world civilization political theory is lacking. Power structures tend to evolve toward concentrations globally and ordinary people follow along. Its theoretical foundation is a posteriori.

While the global economy is integrating through communication and consumption, production, supply, demand and marketing environmental overuse and abuse collaterally, inimically grow too. Environmental degradation is a growth stock over the long run.

Much of the political argument in the United States and elsewhere centers upon nationalism and self-determination versus globalism, concentrated power and corporatism or socialism. All of that misses the perspective as humanity as a bacterium in a petri dish burning up its finite nutrient allotment. The limits of growth due to entropy and resource exhaustion can be set back through technological innovation yet the political will to accomplish minimal waste and maximum efficiency in production is absent from anyone’s political party agenda.

Interestingly some believe along the lines of Tegmark's Level 4 Multiverse concerning the creation and change. Theology and cosmology in the field of theoretical physics draw together quite well in that every possible Universe does exist in the mind of God and in reality too. Necessarily God creates every possible Universe compresently and never destroys anything. The past and future always exist in a level 4 Multiverse and select theological ideas about God. It is just the conscious human spirit that travels through these stack multiverse creations in every possible moment of the existence of any Universe. For Christians God has created human conscious spirit to sojourn through the experience of being as a prep school for eternal existence with God. Those unsaved will have a peripheral eternity without God that would necessarily be an eternal hell since the maintenance would be likely to be rather poor.

Does the fact that the entire Universe and Multiverse along with every human spirit is predetermined have any impact on the global and national economy and its inefficient regard for the Earth's ecosphere-primarily it does in the sense that the human spirit has every reason to act responsibly and intelligently rather than being an empirical hedonist indifferent to the decay of life on Earth.


The human species is always trying to grow and expand yet not at all well in political, ecospheric and philosophical intelligence. To surpass the limits of the petri dish nature of human development and sprawl humanity must master the art of planetary ecosphere science and technology and demonstrate that it can build thriving ecospheres off world-such as on the Moon, Mars etc. before it can have some assurance that it isn’t just deluding itself over an ability to repair the damage it has done to the Earth ecosphere that sustains it.
