Itinerantly, the more that somebody hurts you in every way imaginable, the more it creates the impression that you somehow deserved it.   The same is true for any prophecy that occurs in one’s life.   For example, if one is homeless, the prophecy creates a conception that one somehow deserves to be homeless.   Suppose someone takes everything imaginable from you. It also creates the impression that you somehow deserved it.  In the end, they blame it on God and consider all that happened to you a prophecy.    This is similar to how people in desperate situations, marginalized by our extreme competitive economy, are sometimes considered prophets.   In reality, these people are marginalized by a top-down, controlling, and dominating industrial economy, and we should call them profits.   This is because profits were chosen over the person‘s life.   Therefore, the desire to create profit creates people who create prophecies, known as prophets.  

There’s a profoundly troubling psychological phenomenon where enduring relentless suffering or profound deprivation can subtly, yet devastatingly, instill the belief that one somehow brought it upon themselves. This insidious rationalization often manifests externally as well, cloaked in the language of “prophecy” or “fate,” suggesting a preordained destiny for hardship.

Consider the profound tragedy of homelessness: instead of prompting systemic introspection, society often retreats into a convenient narrative, subtly implying that such individuals are merely fulfilling a preordained destiny. Similarly, when someone is systematically stripped of everything they possess, there’s a dangerous tendency to attribute this loss to some inherent failing or an inescapable cosmic plan. Ultimately, many fall back on spiritual justifications, interpreting immense personal suffering as divine will or prophecy, thus absolving any human or systemic responsibility.

This tendency to ascribe suffering to mystical causes becomes particularly poignant when examining the structural realities of our contemporary economic landscape. Those who find themselves utterly marginalized by our hyper-competitive, top-down industrial economy are frequently, and incorrectly, viewed as ‘prophets’ – figures whose destitution somehow signals a higher truth or a deserved outcome. The stark reality is that they are not ‘prophets’ of divine decree, but rather the stark *profits* – the human cost – generated by a system that prioritizes material gain above all else.

Their very existence is a testament to the fact that choices were made, not by fate, but by economic design, where the relentless pursuit of profit inevitably created the conditions for their marginalization. We must cease to frame these human tragedies as ‘prophecy’ and recognize them for what they truly are: the predictable, painful outcomes of a system that sacrifices human dignity on the altar of perpetual growth.

I am concerned that all of the events that detrimentally impacted people and the natural environment are related to globalization, controlling domination, and industrial earth.  All the compartmentalized structures in the infinite variables may have caused these instances, but the reason was industrial earth.   Industrial Earth, whether people know it or not, employs everyone and everything on Earth.   Bad things happen either directly or indirectly because of planet Earth’s globalization, control, domination, and industrialization.  

 I am even wondering whether terrorist attacks, wars, police actions, and all other detrimentally impacting behaviors that cause an enormous amount of survival zone suffering are directly or indirectly caused by the nature of globalization controlling domination in industrialized earth.    The problem statement could include chaos, controversy, conflict, detrimental collaboration, or extreme competition.   All of these are products of globalization, controlling the domination of the industrialized earth.   Competition for resources is probably one of the top reasons for these occurrences.   Moreover, the problem could stem from Earth’s industrial need for distractions and diversions. The politicization of all the countries on earth and all the terrorist groups on earth may be the other reason.   Overall, I hypothesize that most of the problems on planet Earth stem from industrial practices and the extremes of materialism created thereby.

Could the current conditions of the huge global drug trade be the source of many of the problems on Earth?  Or is it the blame mechanism functioning as a distraction and diversion?  Is it controlling domination, globalization, industrial earth, or compartmentalized nationalism that causes most of the problems?   Are there some drug variants that are more naturally holistic and don’t harm a person‘s health?   Are the more natural versions of drugs, not considered pharmaceuticals and thus included in the compartmentalized globalization, controlling domination, industrial earth hierarchical structures?  Do the detrimental forms of cocaine include crack, or ice?

Is the law-enforcement organization called ICE for a reason?   Are they on some kind of Hitler crack?   I find it hard to believe that there are so many drug boats and cocaine coming into this country and other countries.   Is it about globalization, controlling domination industrial earth competition?   On the contrary, is there some legitimate demand for more holistic, natural drugs?   All I really know is that strength, fitness, conditioning are favorable, endorphin manufacturing concepts, rather than resorting to drug use or alcohol use extremes.

I am writing to articulate a profound apprehension regarding the pervasive challenges currently facing humanity and the planet. It appears increasingly clear that many seemingly disparate issues – from ecological degradation to geopolitical strife – are not isolated occurrences but rather deeply intertwined, stemming from a foundational paradigm that shapes our global existence whether it’s from the nationalism compartmentalization or industrial earth itself.   Maybe the problem stem from an integration of both of these concepts.

My primary concern revolves around what I perceive as the overarching influence of a globalized industrial complex. This system, characterized by relentless resource extraction, expansive production, materialism extremes, and insatiable consumption, fundamentally dictates the structures and dynamics of nearly every society and economy on Earth. Whether consciously acknowledged or not, this industrial engine underpins our modern world, profoundly impacting individuals, communities, the natural environment, and the stability of both.

Consequently, both direct and indirect repercussions manifest as significant societal and ecological disturbances. One might ponder whether instances of organized violence, drug wars, sustained geopolitical conflicts, localized social unrest, and the intensifying strain on natural resources are merely symptoms of a deeper, systemic issue. It prompts serious inquiry into whether phenomena such as terrorist acts, state-sponsored actions, and other behaviors that cause immense preventable suffering are, in essence, products of this globalized industrial dominance. Then, industrial earth employs people to just take care of the marginalized and sick, creating an economy of managing sick people.

Indeed, a closer examination reveals recurring patterns of profound chaos, incessant controversy, pervasive conflict, and even forms of detrimental, yet collaborative, power dynamics, all fueled by an intense, often zero-sum, competition. These are, arguably, inherent byproducts of a globalized system driven by expansion and dominion. At the heart of many of these manifestations lies an relentless competition for vital resources – a struggle amplified by burgeoning populations and unsustainable consumption patterns. Furthermore, the pervasive politicization of national interests and the emergence of diverse groups vying for influence often serve to exacerbate these tensions, creating a volatile and unpredictable global landscape.

In essence, my working hypothesis is that a significant majority of the complex challenges confronting humanity today, whether environmental, social, or geopolitical, are deeply rooted in and perpetuated by the foundational practices and inherent nature of our current industrial and globalized paradigm that I call industrial Earth.  However, nationalism has existed for longer than the Industrial Revolution.   Competition for resources and territory remains a consistent pattern between the two concepts.   Is there such a thing as a controlling, dominator King on our planet who uses both nationalism and Earth’s infinite, variable, compartmentalized hierarchical structures to win at any cost?   Is the quote What’s good for General Motors is good for America and vice versa” now at war with each other?

One of the reasons industrial Earth can get away with what it does is that it can spread its wealth among people who contribute to its overall means-to-ends behaviors.   The rest of us get labeled mentally ill, criminal, terrorist, or crazy.  The politicization of the law, politics, corporate functioning, and government functioning contributes to the overtopping of people.   This “means to the end” behavior is destroying what it’s all about in the first place.    People, especially in the United States, are ends in themselves, not merely a “means to an end” as they are treated.  It would be great to evolve the situation so that people are both your means and an end, like the We-Me Explorers Cycle. However, globalization controlling domination in the industrial planet Earth needs to have its control controlling dominators to win at any cost, no matter how many people are injured or killed.  In fact, I am also very annoyed with the preventable suffering in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine.  We need to relatively prioritize these people, and everyone else impacted by industrial Earth controlling domination and industrial Earth practices, including the military on Earth and the ICE force on Earth.  ICE in the United States is another construct of the industrial Earth manufacturing facility.   Its primary function is to create a distraction and diversion from our real problems on planet Earth.   This intentional fragmentation creates a condition in which borders and boundaries are used as itinerant compartmentalization to create blame mechanisms all the way down to individual people.  Thus, this creates a condition of chaos, complexity, compartmentalization, conflict, and detrimental collaboration with all of the destructive organizations and boundrified structures.   Are all organizations on the take (salaries, traditional investments, stock options, fringe benefits), or part of this industrialized globalization and controlling domination like armored tanks? (Tanks are the ultimate metaphor for confining compartmentalization, such that they are dynamically insulated and isolated from perturbation and stability striving events from the people.) The laws, rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, and political prowess represent the armor by which very few people can penetrate. (This is why most of them should be known as monocultures, as they are not introduced to beneficial diversity because of these reasons.)   I’m not recommending violence here. I’m trying to suggest that it’s impossible for a person to go up against a tank; many people could get killed, like what happened in the aftermath of Tiananmen Square. Even metaphoric tanks are dangerous.  As I said, previously, if you go against a tank, you could get labeled mentally ill, criminal, terrorist, disabled, homeless, or a loser.   The proverbial tanks I refer to have much power and control in this world, much like tanks in the military.  In another military analogy, as far as I’m concerned, we ought to be using those F-16s to bring over supplies and medicine to those poor children in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine, among everybody else in need.   We need to stop preventable suffering on planet Earth now.   Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together. World without end….

In extreme industrial planet Earth organizations, I wonder if there is a lot of alcoholism and drug abuse.   People are asked to do difficult jobs that involve policies, laws, regulations, procedures, and interacting with the public.   In an indicator species approach, I have noticed a lot of drinking among people employed by corporations and those involved in activities that go against natural behaviors.   I wonder if this has created a kind of alcoholism culture, where drinking excessively is now a cultural thing for everyone.   Have we created a condition where we try to drown our problems out with excessive alcohol?  We have all seen someone get a stiff dose of Scotch after a long, difficult day performing the duties of industrial Earth. In another extreme indicator species approach, I noticed songs that include drinking as a way to forget about relationships that are impacted by the industrial Earth economy.   In the manufactured, infinite, variable, compartmentalized hierarchies, at the top are people who are looked up to for a whole bunch of reasons.   If these people are drinking excessively when problems occur in organizations, people learn this bad habit and replicate it in their personal lives.    Is industrial earth the source of culture on our planet in most locations?  I am concerned because alcohol causes a wide variety of health problems, relationship problems, mental health problems, and dysfunction.   For instance, are we required to partake in the industrial planet Earth phenomenon while living our lives as a kind of ritual?   It appears as if excessive drinking in colleges has become a dominant culture, a kind of concept, leading to excessive disease, relationship problems, health problems, and dysfunction.    As an indicator species approach, I have noticed that drinking alcohol may thin the blood, such that it contributes to more mental agility.  I’m not sure if this hypothesis is true, but there sure is a lot of alcohol drinking on university campuses.   Does drinking alcohol make you an unfair competitor in terms of traditional industrial Earth hierarchical structures?   Does drinking alcohol also have the effective marginalizing problems that occur from organizations on Earth? In other words, do people who drink forget about their problems or the impacts upon others, cultures, communities, families, and the natural environment?  In the same way, do people forget about their boyfriends or girlfriends when they drink excessively after having problems?   Therefore, I may have accumulated enough to hypothesize that industrial planet Earth has caused the excessive drinking on our planet.   

My recent observations and reflections have compelled me to delve deeper into a pervasive societal issue: the potential link between the demanding nature of our industrialized world and the alarming prevalence of alcohol and substance abuse. It appears that the relentless pressures within contemporary organizations, particularly those requiring intricate navigation of policies, laws, regulations, and constant public interaction, may be fostering an environment ripe for such coping mechanisms.

I’ve noted a concerning trend where individuals operating within these high-stakes corporate structures, often engaged in work that feels fundamentally disconnected from natural human rhythms, exhibit elevated rates of excessive drinking. This leads me to question whether we are inadvertently cultivating an “alcoholism culture,” where heavy consumption is not merely tolerated but, in some contexts, almost normalized as an accepted part of professional life. Could the very fabric of our industrial existence be creating a condition where individuals feel compelled to “drown out” their daily struggles and systemic anxieties with alcohol?

This phenomenon extends beyond the workplace. Popular culture, through songs and media, frequently portrays alcohol as a means to forget relationship woes, which themselves are often exacerbated by the strains of an industrial economy. Furthermore, the hierarchical structures inherent in many organizations present an additional layer of concern. When those in positions of leadership, who are often looked upon as exemplars, engage in excessive drinking to navigate organizational challenges, this behavior risks being implicitly sanctioned and replicated by others throughout the organization, extending its influence into their personal lives.

I am deeply concerned about the widespread consequences of this potential cultural shift. Alcohol abuse is a well-documented precursor to a myriad of health problems, relationship breakdowns, severe mental health deterioration, and overall societal dysfunction. It prompts a critical inquiry: are we, by virtue of living in this “industrial planet Earth,” being tacitly coerced into a ritualistic participation in its more destructive patterns? The pervasive nature of excessive drinking in collegiate environments, for instance, seems to echo this concern, solidifying a dominant culture that unfortunately paves the way for similar health crises and dysfunctions later in life.

While some might misguidedly entertain the notion that alcohol could somehow enhance mental agility – a hypothesis for which I’ve seen no credible scientific backing, despite anecdotal observations of its consumption in academically demanding environments – the more pressing questions remain. Does excessive drinking inadvertently create an unfair competitive landscape within traditional industrial hierarchies, perhaps by dulling one’s critical edge or impairing judgment? Or, more insidiously, does it serve to marginalize the very real problems originating from these complex organizations, allowing individuals to temporarily forget or disengage from their impacts on themselves, others, and the natural environment? Similarly, does it enable people to momentarily disassociate from personal problems, such as strained relationships, only for those issues to resurface more profoundly?

Considering these interwoven observations and questions, I am increasingly led to hypothesize that the overarching framework of “industrial planet Earth” may indeed be a significant causative factor behind the alarmingly excessive drinking patterns we witness across our global society. This suggests a systemic issue that demands profound consideration and a re-evaluation of how our societal structures impact individual well-being. From these hypotheses, would it be prudent to create the hypothesis that industrial planet Earth is the source of most non-natural illnesses on our planet?

In conventional employment, people seem to be compartmentalized into roles, preventing them from shining like the sun.  This is because they hold their institutions above all. They’re not able to think beyond their square box.   These people are most valuable to us in the future because they can shed light on their current situation and their desired future condition. When people are released from their confinement and allowed to think outside the box or cubicle, they can inspire the rest of us to make that transition.

It has become increasingly apparent that the prevailing structures of conventional environments often inadvertently curtail an individual’s full capabilities. Rather than fostering an ecosystem where innate brilliance, energy, effort, innovation, and creativity can flourish, our systems frequently impose rigid frameworks, compelling talent into narrowly defined roles. This prioritization of institutional adherence over individual ingenuity invariably stifles the very innovative thinking essential to progress, often leading to collective, compartmentalized intellectual myopia within organizations.

Paradoxically, it is precisely those individuals currently constrained by these very limitations who represent our most valuable asset for future growth and evolution. Their unique vantage point, rooted in firsthand experience of existing systemic challenges, grants them unparalleled insight. They possess the innate capacity to articulate not only the current state of affairs with profound clarity but also to vividly envision and define the truly transformative desired future conditions we aspire to achieve.

When we deliberately liberate these minds, hearts, souls, and energy allocation from their perceived confinement – empowering them to transcend conventional boundaries and engage in truly unfettered ideation – they will become the indispensable catalysts for change. Their awakened perspectives will not merely offer solutions; they will inspire a fundamental paradigm shift across the entire organizational landscape, guiding us all towards a more dynamic, creative, and human and nature-centric future, thus transitioning industrial planet Earth. Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together. World without end….

Simply raising your voice about globalization, controlling domination, and the hypothesized industrial earth can get you compartmentalized into extremism.   I would rather be known as an environmentalist than an extreme industrialist.   However, I do know that without industrialism, we would not have environmentalism.   Some industries do great things for our world and keep it in balance with the environment, ecology, people, natural resources, and our needs.   We should transition to ecological nature organizations (niche organizations) sooner rather than later.   Whether the problems on Earth are sourced in globalization, controlling domination, or industrialization, the problem definition must be close at hand.   Does criminalization stem from the fact that we try to get people into subservient positions so we can pay them less?   Is that why we have such prolific drugs in our world?   Is that why we have criminalization?   Is that why we have historically had so much immigration? Do we have insecure leaders in globalization controlling domination, such that they create conditions for industrial Earth to label people? Regardless of the source of these problems, they must be in close proximity to the infinite-variable politicization manufactured by the industrial Earth paradigm.  Each of these individual variables is compartmentalized within the boundaries of control.   When each one of these structures is needed, it is employed, which reminds me of the employment process on planet Earth.  Is this where hostile takeovers occur?   I’m not sure for the macrocosm’s sake, but as a microcosm indicator species, I say yes, that is true.   I started pondering the industrial earth concept during an internship at Lockheed Martin in Burlington, Vermont.  I remember finding a planet Earth that looked like a metal ball online at the time. In fact, because I was working in an Environmental Safety and Health Department, I created an Earth with a gas mask, a hard hat, etc.

 We can transition to a more holistic, sustainable, and thriving existence if we involve everyone.   The top-down industrial Earth processes and manufacturing facilities on Earth are accustomed to top-down ways of thinking and winning at any cost. This extends to politics as well, and to all other industries, including globalization, controlling domination, infinite variabilization, hierarchical structures, and itinerant compartments that exist in all organizations.   Are people considered bordered and boundrified, compartmentalized structures currently? Are they considered castles or kings? With the people involved once again in our world, we are able to understand a situation closer to reality. As I’ve discussed before, the major problem on earth is trying to understand what the problem is.   I’ve been working on this pretty much my whole life.   As I learned in environmental problem-solving, the most difficult concept on Earth is understanding the true nature of a problem when there is so much complexity, confusion, compartmentalization, detrimental collaboration, conflict, and detrimental impact on functioning.   By bringing it down to each person, especially when we have an earth ethic, earth vows, earth culture considerations, needs, assessment, self-assessment, and assessment of the current condition, learning and exploring of the desired future condition, we can holistically transition.   We are also operating on the foundation of loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuineness, kindness, striving, to create conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, unity, equity, faith, and sustainable, striving happiness.   According to the Beatles, all you need is love.   Regardless of the perspective you choose, it is imperative that we allocate energy to understanding our current conditions and striving towards a well-planned, desired future condition on Earth and for all other communities.  We must stop labeling people as extreme environmentalists, criminals, mentally ill, disabled, terrorists, immigrants, and all of the other detrimentally intentioned labels.   Instead, we need to let the people allocate their holistic natural energy contributions.   When we do such a thing, extreme consumption on planet Earth will be limited to essential needs, durable goods, and supplies, with holistic consumption.    I hope to see industrialized compartments of infinite variables in the extreme transition of planet Earth to ecological nature, organizations, or niche organizations.   I hope we develop ecological niche products or ecological nature products for the future as we continue to grow organic food and sustainable products.   This will ensure that extreme industrial Earth philosophy transitions in the future. Therefore, everyone is involved in ecological niche products or ecological nature products, based on holistic adaptive creativity, ideas, and suggestions.   In the future, we can be free from the drudgeries of 100% employment situations to contribute our creativity to everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth.    This concept allows people to shine like the sun in terms of energy.

It is often striking how quickly profound discussions about global systems, power dynamics, and our planet’s industrial trajectory can lead to individuals being categorized and dismissed as ‘extremists.’ While I am unequivocally aligned with holistic environmentalist principles, I also acknowledge the intricate and often contradictory relationship between industrial advancement and ecological preservation. Indeed, much of our capacity for environmental advocacy and innovation stems from industrial foundations.

There are, without question, industries that contribute immense value and operate with a conscientious regard for our environment, natural resources, and human well-being. My fervent hope, and indeed a pressing necessity, is to witness and facilitate the transformative shift of these, and many other organizations, into truly ecological enterprises.

Regardless of whether the fundamental challenges confronting our world originate from unchecked globalization, concentrated control structures, or the pervasive influence of what I’ve come to conceptualize as the ‘industrial earth,’ a precise and widely understood definition of these problems is absolutely critical. We must critically examine whether societal maladies such as widespread criminalization or the proliferation of destructive elements are rooted in systems that promote subservient employment for economic leverage. These profound issues are inextricably linked to the complex, politicized landscapes fostered by the industrial Earth paradigm. In this system, every variable is often rigidly compartmentalized within specific borders and spheres of influence. This reminds me of how structures are selectively deployed, much like the operational framework on our own planet. It is well known that organizations resist change (Bardelli, 1986). Does this create the compulsion for industrial Earth to manufacture fertile ground for hostile takeovers, not just in business, but of our collective future? As an indicator, speaking for the microcosm of my own experience, I believe it is. It is also an out-of-control act of opportunism by those at the top, which must be transitioned to rational, reasonable, realistic, and holistic structures and functions in the desired future condition.

This very ‘industrial earth’ concept began to crystallize in my mind during my time interning for Lockheed Martin in Burlington, Vermont, where I recall encountering an online image of Earth depicted as a mere metal sphere. Our path to a more holistic, sustainable, and thriving existence demands universal participation, moving beyond the entrenched top-down approaches that characterize our industrial and political systems. When every individual is engaged and contributing, we unlock a more accurate and nuanced understanding of our shared reality. As I have often remarked, one of humanity’s greatest struggles is simply identifying the true nature of a problem amidst such overwhelming complexity, confusion, compartmentalization, and conflicting interests.

A significant portion of my life has been dedicated to this pursuit. The sheer entanglement of complexity, confusion, compartmentalization, detrimental collaboration, conflict, and detrimental impacts makes discerning a problem’s core incredibly difficult. However, by empowering each person with an ‘earth ethic’—a foundation built on earth vows, a shared earth culture, a comprehensive assessment of our current conditions, and a collaborative vision for our desired future—we can unravel these complexities. We are inherently driven by a shared foundation of love, caring, sharing, rational giving, generosity, kindness, forgiveness, and a collective yearning for comfort, joy, love, hope, unity, equity, faith, and sustainable happiness. As The Beatles famously suggested, “All you need is love” – a powerful truth in its simplicity.

Irrespective of one’s chosen perspective, it is imperative that we channel our collective energy and resources towards understanding our present circumstances and meticulously (much involves broader ways of thinking) planning for a desired future condition for Earth and all its communities. We must cease the detrimental practice of labeling people as ‘extreme environmentalists,’ ‘criminals,’ ‘mentally ill,’ or ‘disabled.’ Instead, we need to unleash humanity’s natural propensity to contribute meaningfully. When we do so, the excessive consumption currently plaguing our planet will naturally recalibrate to focus on genuine needs, durable goods, essential supplies, and holistic consumption patterns.   People are not the source of all problems on earth. They are the solution. We need absolutely everybody contributing and allocating their energy in a holistic, well-motivated, positive way.   In the future, we will all be holistically accepted, holistically included, and holistically inspired and incentivized to allocate our holistic energy.

My vision is to see industrial giants evolve into ecological organizations, or highly specialized niche enterprises dedicated to regenerative practices. We must innovate and cultivate ecological niche products and nature-aligned solutions for the future. This strategic shift will safeguard industrialism from veering into unsustainable extremes. Imagine a future where everyone, through adaptive creativity and collaboration, contributes to this ecological evolution. We can move beyond the demanding drudgeries of full-time employment, dedicating our unique creative energies to enrich everyone, everything, and everywhere on Earth. This transformative concept truly allows individuals to radiate their full potential, shining brightly like the sun.  Consequently, we will be able to see holistic prosperity in the context of everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth, from local to global, past, present, and future. Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together.   World without end…

To whom it may concern,

When you couple the taken ideas with the resulting misappropriation, it appears to be a kind of globalization, controlling domination, and manufacturing of conditions from industrial earth. Industrial Earth may have a specific type of politics behind it, but I’m not exactly sure yet.   It appears that those involved in globalization and the control of industrial earth may be responsible.   Moreover, all organizations may be accountable to a king somewhere on planet Earth, whether they know it or not.   This King elevates and makes the takers, exchangers, and invokes criminalization processes as people are being made to be mentally and physically unhealthy, put into a survival zone suffering, or worse.  The king may do this by employing politicization, infinite variable politicization, criminalization, and infinite variability of anything and anything else needed.  If this hypothesis is true, it means we need to rely on people to transition our planet toward a more desired future.  

I have come up with many ideas, including the Eco Geo Facebook idea of the early 1990s, Eco Geo Amazon, sharing ideas, and the Eco Geo integrated device.   My most recent idea is the Earth Unidiversity Earth Research, Explorers Cycle, or the We-Me Explorer cycle.   If we combine all these ideas, we will become a people’s planet Earth.   It naturally goes from each of us to all of us, everyone, everything, everywhere on earth as a cycle. No one does it better than each of us and all of us together.  Given what I’m seeing all around this world, like the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, and all the human suffering that’s going on in this country with ICE, etc., we may need to make this transition sooner rather than later.  

I am concerned that this planet is rife with preventable suffering and survival zone suffering caused by the industrial manufacturing facility known as Industrial Planet Earth.  I hypothesize that most mental health problems, physical problems, criminal problems, immigration problems, and most of the other problems on planet Earth come from this big-picture, industrial-planet Earth perspective, where profits, competition, complexity, conflict, confinement, lack of holistic prioritization, compartmentalization, controversy, and survival at any cost rule above all else.   Are the people involved in this sort of thing all on some drug?   Are they leftovers from the Nazi party in World War II?   Maybe it is the most intense drug of all, greed? If so, they must go through reconciliation, confession, and counseling.  Regardless of the true nature of the problem, from my perspective, we need to transition to a more desired future for planet Earth.   We need to get everyone involved in an Eco Geo relative way to understand best practices as we move forward towards that desired future condition.   The people are the most relevant, appropriate, significant, and essential consideration because it is up to each of us and all of us together to get beyond this current condition of preventable suffering on planet Earth, for everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth, and all of creation.   It is time to get beyond the detrimental impacts of war, suffering, controversy, complexity, conflict, confinement, and chaos, as well as those learned from the industrial expansion on planet Earth.   It is time to get back to the basics of loving, living, exploring, discovering, learning, and getting the most out of life on our planet during the short time we are responsible for it.   We should get back to taking care of creation, everyone, everything, everywhere on earth, as a relative prioritization concept.  

My observations over many years have led me to a profound understanding of the systemic challenges we face globally. It seems increasingly clear that the prevailing global paradigm, which I refer to as “Industrial Earth,” operates under a framework that prioritizes control, fierce competition, and short-term gains above the collective well-being of humanity and the planet. This structure, whether consciously orchestrated or an emergent property of unchecked ambition, appears to manufacture conditions that generate widespread suffering, societal fragmentation, and even contribute to the global rise in mental and physical health challenges.

This hypothesis stems from critically analyzing processes I’ve witnessed firsthand within various organizations, and integrating those insights with broader patterns of what appear to be misappropriated or distorted ideas on a global scale. It suggests that a centralized, often unseen, influence might be cultivating an environment where specific power structures are elevated, and mechanisms of politicization, infinite variability, and even criminalization are employed to maintain this control. The human cost is immeasurable, as individuals are increasingly marginalized or categorized in ways that exacerbate their struggles.

Given the deeply concerning global events unfolding today – from conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip to the pervasive human suffering stemming from border policies and other domestic issues – the urgency for a fundamental shift has never been more apparent. We are currently experiencing the devastating impacts of a system that relentlessly pursues profit and power, fostering complexity, conflict, confinement, and compartmentalization, often at the expense of our shared humanity and ecological health. This paradigm, which often feels like a global industrial manufacturing facility, is creating preventable suffering on an unprecedented scale. I contend that many of our most pressing issues – mental health crises, physical ailments, and societal discord – are direct symptoms of this overarching “Industrial Earth” perspective, where a relentless drive for advantage supersedes all other considerations. The root cause, in my view, lies not in malevolence, but perhaps in an intense form of unchecked ambition and greed that has permeated our global structures and functioning..

This compels me to believe that a transition to a more desired future condition is not merely an aspiration, but an absolute necessity. For decades, I have dedicated myself to conceptualizing viable alternatives. My earlier visions included ideas like an “Eco Geo Facebook” in the early 1990s, aiming for integrated global connection and shared knowledge, along with “Eco Geo Amazon” for ethical resource exchange, and an “Eco Geo integrated device” for accessible, sustainable technology.

My most recent and comprehensive proposal is the “Earth Unidiversity Earth Research, Explorer Cycle,” or simply the “We-Me Explorer Cycle.” This framework envisions a collaborative, decentralized global initiative where every individual contributes to a collective understanding and stewardship of our planet. By integrating these pioneering ideas, we can foster a “Peoples Planet Earth” (and God)– a truly inclusive system designed for the benefit of everyone, everything, and everywhere, operating as a continuous, regenerative cycle. This means moving from individual contribution (“each of us”) to collective impact (“all of us”) in a seamless, synergistic manner, recognizing that our collective wisdom and effort are unparalleled.

To achieve this, we must empower the global citizenry to guide this transition. This means fostering an “Eco Geo relative way” of understanding and implementing best practices, ensuring that decisions are made with the holistic health of the planet and its inhabitants in mind. The people, in their diverse capacities and collective wisdom, represent the most critical and relevant consideration. (Holistic scale) It is through our combined efforts that we can transcend the current state of preventable suffering and move beyond the detrimental legacies of war, exploitation, and industrial overreach.

The time has come to return to foundational principles: cultivating love, embracing life in its fullness, relentlessly exploring and discovering, committing to continuous learning, and maximizing our stewardship during our brief tenure on this remarkable planet. We must re-establish the care for all of creation – every person, every living thing, and our life support systems in every corner of the Earth and on Earth itself– as our paramount collective priority.

I came up with one of the best ideas on Earth, and many others, and got fired.  Communications in corporations are inherently manufactured by the industrial planet Earth.   Coupled with information systems and several servers, it was designed as a taking extraction change, an exclusion type of phenomenon. It has been my experience that Global manufacturing conditions, which create itinerant dysfunction in organizations, are the likely cause. This itinerant dysfunction, amidst the infinite-variable politicization and hierarchical structures, makes the circumstances that spark the taking, extraction, and exclusion cycle.  Furthermore, this itinerant manufacturing creates conditions for taking from energy allocators, creators, Inventors, innovators, and workers.  In exchange for the takings of some great ideas and vast amounts of holistic labor from people, politicization and criminalization occur as ideas are exchanged, misappropriated, and individuals like creators and energy allocators are fired, or even worse.  This idea arises from the infinite politicization and variabilization of hierarchies on industrial planet Earth.  Therefore, specific hierarchies are meant to be taken from, while other hierarchies are meant to receive the takings.   I’m not even sure of the reality of the situation because I was put in a lonely office and not communicated with.   Every hierarchical level was designed to be isolated and confined to the reality of the takings, extraction, exchange, and exclusion cycle. Some people didn’t even know about it. I’m sure.  Consequently, hierarchical dysfunction in corporations and government functions as a protective mechanism for those in control.  In reality, there are hierarchies of organizations, corporations, governments, and employees in each of these sectors. Each entity in the hierarchy is its own compartmentalized structure and function. Oftentimes, we don’t even know who’s in control when we’re going through a trying circumstance.   In my case, the corporation I worked for was taken over by another corporation, which took everything I had and created its own division, bringing many of my interests and reappropriating them.   However, it doesn’t stop there. Ideas and creativity are like widgets on a manufacturing assembly line in corporate planet Earth.   Globalization, controlling domination, industrial Earth, and the extraction, exchange, and exclusion cycle are related to this, as some of the ideas spread to South Korea, China, and Taiwan. Moreover, I am concerned that the Holistic businesses and conferences I interacted with during that period were affected by the same kinds of forces that shaped my circumstances.   If the same thing happens again, I have learned to organize a meeting of all the managers, all the supervisors, all the information systems professionals, and all the counterparts.   During this meeting, I would try to get everybody on the same page, given that everyone is functioning on different pages and understanding. Email does not work as it can be compromised.   Regardless of what happens in this situation, one thing is for sure: I experienced a microcosm of what happens. On our industrial planet, misappropriation could be a significant phenomenon.   Workers are in jeopardy as they get labeled as political outcasts, criminals, health-challenged, and terrorists, or worse. Consequently, a considerable amount of preventable suffering, such as survival zone suffering, occurs on planet Earth.

My recent departure, following significant contributions and the development of numerous innovative concepts, has illuminated what I perceive as a pervasive and deeply concerning systemic issue within organizational structures. It appears that the mechanisms of communication and information flow within many corporations are not merely inefficient but are, at times, deliberately designed to be opaque. This lack of transparency, often reinforced by intricate information systems, seems to facilitate a systematic process of intellectual property appropriation and the marginalization of its originators.

I’ve observed a troubling trend where systemic dysfunctions within both corporate and, by extension, governmental entities are not merely accidental but appear to be actively fostered. This creates an environment ripe for the systematic extraction of value from the ingenuity and hard work of creators, inventors, innovators, and the general workforce. Instead of recognition or equitable reward, those who contribute groundbreaking ideas often face politicization, marginalization, or even outright dismissal, while their intellectual contributions are subsequently misappropriated and leveraged by others.

My personal experience involved being increasingly isolated and cut off from critical information, a tactic that seems designed to prevent a holistic understanding of these processes across hierarchical levels. It became clear that this pervasive dysfunction functions as a protective barrier for those who orchestrate such appropriations, making true accountability remarkably elusive.

In my own situation, my former employer was acquired, leading to the swift absorption and re-purposing of my significant intellectual contributions and projects into a new division by the acquiring entity. It has become evident that in the globalized corporate landscape, ideas and creative output are increasingly treated as mere commodities or widgets, readily transferable across borders. (while we are forced to pay attention to the national boundaries on Earth for circumstances like the immigration of poor people into a survival zone suffering condition). I’ve seen my own concepts disseminated internationally to regions like South Korea, China, and Taiwan, highlighting the global scale of this misappropriation cycle. Even the holistic businesses and conferences I engaged with during that period seem to have been impacted by similar forces.

Looking ahead, I am convinced that addressing these issues requires a concerted effort to foster true transparency and unified understanding across all levels – from management and supervisors to IT professionals and their counterparts. My goal, should such a situation arise again, would be to bridge the current disconnects and establish a shared reality regarding these critical vulnerabilities. This is impossible in today’s top-down, controlling, dominating industrial Earth practices.

Ultimately, my experience feels like a microcosm of a much broader global phenomenon: the systematic devaluation and exploitation of intellectual capital. Without collective vigilance and robust ethical frameworks, innovators and workers risk being politically marginalized, unjustly accused, or worse, their invaluable contributions systematically erased.

Sincerely,

Richard Thomas Simmons

One of the most used words is “criminal”. Usually, it all starts with a roller coaster ride of character-blemishing behavior, heckling, and hazing.  In addition to character blemishing, heckling, and hazing, the concept of criminal behavior stems from the bioaccumulation of all types of pollution on our planet, from fine-scale to broad-scale, past, present, and future.   The complexity, confusion, conflict, and chaos create a bioaccumulation of this pollution over time, magnifying and multiplying it in a feedback loop.   When you combine this concept with the amount of preventable suffering, all our responsibilities, and everything else, mental confusion ensues, leaving the person overwhelmed and “overtopped” by it all.  When you mix the requirements, processes, procedures, laws, rules, regulations, and these responsibilities, from fine scale to broad scale, past, present, and future, the cumulative totality is just too much for a normal person to handle.   People lower on the socioeconomic spectrum get labelled criminal more often because of the extreme survival zone stressors and response mechanisms above and beyond the cumulative toxicity pollution. The cumulative total of all the pollution and the cumulative total of all the stressors cause mental health problems, physical health problems, drugs, relationship problems, alcohol abuse, and ultimately, more survival zone suffering.   This is especially true when you combine layers of hierarchies, power, dynamics, infinite variabilization, and all other forms of anthropogenic and anthropocentric pollution over time.    As things change over time, different stimuli (Stimulus Addition Theory, Dr. Machell, WCSU), requirements, characteristics, societal problems, and environmental problems, like environmental injustice and social injustice, contribute to being labeled a criminal. Therefore, the more survival zone suffering that occurs, the more the positive feedback loop intensifies until an inflection point is reached, leading to the labelling of a criminal. Everyone has their own survival zone breaking point behavior, which gets labelled.

The word criminal is a term of art used in ultra-competitive endeavors and in complex, market-based, or other industrial economies.   If you’re labeled a criminal in this world, everything gets taken from you, such as ideas, creativity, labor, your dignity, respect, and everything else of value.  (Is being manufactured as a criminal and taking an extraction exchange exclusion competition in an industrial world?) Likewise, relationships suffer, amplifying the multiplier effect and creating a positive feedback loop for the individual and family.   Moreover, all gun violence and mass shootings come from this type of cumulative totality pollution phenomena, and multiplier effects thereof. Leading to a downward spiral feedback loop resulting in an inflection point of horrific violence.    For example, people with guns in this world are responding to a world of power and authority, thinking that if they have a weapon, it means they have power and authority.   I am annoyed over this latest ICE killing, which took another 37-year-old male, because he had a gun on his person. Once a person detrimentally interacts with police, they can get labeled by the ICE or police as being a criminal because of tunnel vision on the officer’s part. Police officers or ICE have a tremendous amount of prerogative and discretion as long as they can articulate suspicion or that they thought their own lives were in danger. This is tremendously dangerous for anyone who carries a weapon, whether it is brandished or not. Being labeled by a law enforcement department is a highly detrimental form of manufacturing pollution, leading to being labeled a criminal. We must stop the itinerant pollution of our people, who are children of God. Do politicians use law enforcement as a tool to gain popularity through their manufactured political agenda, at any cost, thereby increasing labelling by the industrial machine? If so, it increases the conveyor belt’s speed, increasing the number of labeled people manufactured.

  Many people in this world are suffering from loneliness, isolation, confinement, divorce, depression, mental health issues, physical health issues, and multiple detrimental impacts. These are all potential downward-spiral feedback loops as well, leading to inflection points that increase the likelihood of being labelled a criminal.    I hypothesize that we have created a criminal manufacturing machine on planet Earth. In fact, the cumulative totality pollution exclusion machine renders a person excluded, not accepted, and lacking inspiration to live life to the fullest. The choice is either to become homeless, a labelled criminal, or both. The detrimental impacts and suffering in the survival zone are more pronounced when you are labelled with any one of these things. Furthermore, when labelled, harassment, blame, and articulable suspicion occur, leading to investigations, stressors, and increasingly severe survival zone suffering, pollution, and exclusionary behavior, which in turn create more positive feedback loops and inflection points, further worsening survival zone suffering and rendering the person hopeless. Once a person is labelled, they are polluted for life. Furthermore, when impacted by the justice system, you are made to take all the responsibility for being labelled a criminal, resulting in a problem where cumulative totality reality never gets figured out, as we never hone in on the true nature of the problem.

Without a doubt, people give up on fighting the pollution and accept the compulsion to get labeled a criminal, therefore leading themselves to a life of crime because it pays the bills and more. Once you get into the downward spiral of being labelled, you accept the label. People must be forgiven and go through the concept of reconciliation, confession, and counseling to get their lives back. Furthermore, pollution overtopping, coupled with extreme competition, leads to violent crime as a cumulative significant impact survival zone inflection point is reached.

We need to transition this itinerant criminal manufacturing machine on industrial Earth into holistic inclusion, holistic acceptance, and holistic inspirational incentives that lead to the creation of holistic, well-motivated, and positive-energy people. Once included in the Earth Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle, there are so many opportunities beyond traditional definitions of success, leading to a favorable, positive, holistic outcome for all those labelled criminal and homeless. Likewise, the similarity foundation creates a concept of loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuine kindness, striving for all to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, unity, equity, and sustainable striving for happiness. That’s all you have to remember in terms of the criterion of importance and significance on planet Earth. Behave with these values, and you don’t have to remember all the laws and holistic behaviors needed on Earth. One can also use these values as a check to guide oneself holistically and prescriptively. Before behaving in a certain way, one can ask oneself: is it loving? is it caring? is it sharing? Is it giving? Is it forgiving? And is it genuine kindness striving? Furthermore, one can ask: Does it bring about comfort? Joy? Love? Hope? Unity? Equity? Faith? and sustainable striving for happiness? With these holistic value criteria in one swoop, we can transition all pollution, pollution exclusion, laws, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, etc., into a holistic, well-motivated, positive-energy, sustainable, desired future condition.

I want to thank everyone in the Justice and Law administration department at Western Connecticut State University and everyone at the University of Vermont for helping me to learn about this topic. I find the two-degree programs an excellent window into the concept of pollution and getting labelled a criminal. One program focused on the current state of things, and the other on the desired future condition. I also want to thank everyone else, especially the Catholic church. I want to thank God most of all!!!
