I. Introduction
This book's content is primarily my personal opinions backed with some citations, quotations and basic popularized science to project the future trends. An academic level of such analysis would require many scientists and thousands of volumes. When the draft started getting closer to a thousand pages then I decided to cut mercilessly to a hundred pages that would contain the essence of the book, the summary, but the stubborn book started growing again. So, I had to stop it abruptly and publish as raw as it is. Thus, we shall be satisfied with just a short mini-version that gives a general idea, scatchy main points and the criteria for analysis that you can do yourself to follow my train of thoughts (rather than expanding to a thoroughly discussed and proven monograph). The format is a diary type draft written in short stretches almost every night after I was coming back home from hard work in a hospital. Why me? I lived in many countries with different systems and I have first hand experience with totalitarians of different kinds (communists, socialists, statists, islamists, nationalists and the like), I've a scientific mind and research background and my mind is not tainted by ideological filters, including political correctness. I just see things as they are, and I am not afraid to show the truth. Originally this was supposed to be published in the end of 2008, but the work turned out to be overwhelmingly burdensome and time consuming. May be, for better because it's safer now– in 2008 I'd be one of the very few critisizing the leftist regime with high risk of retalitation by the Obama's regime. Tell me who your friends are and I shall tell you who you are. All Obama's friends were America's haters. Now majority of Americans have woken up to realize what a huge mistake they made electing their enemy to rule them. Hopefully, it's not too late, although for sure it will be clear only on Jan. 20, 2011. There is still huge risk that Obama will push America on the railroad to serfdom where the next station is Greece and the final destination is Sudan. That's what Obama does right now in his native Kenya trying to change secular constitution to Shariah law based one. All it takes is to create another crisis– and Obama is very good at that– and then a
First let us identify the main problems in the world and their causes that might give a clue how to solve them. They say– a theory that explains everything explains nothing. However, let's pick the challenge because we might be able to analyze virtually all the problems in societies using universal criterion of DEGREE OF FREEDOM. In the chapter about self-regulation and feed back we will study on the deeper level what is the scientific base of that, what the laws of nature govern these processes, but for now it is good enough to observe that freedom is THE most potent engine of progress. History had conducted both longitudinal and parallel studies such as accidental experiments with the same people divided politically– North and South Korea, East and West Germany, and every time the degree of freedom was directly proportional to the productivity and, thus, prosperity of the society. Now Northkoreans even physically several inches shorter than Southkoreans due to chronic starvation. When the freest in the world original American Constitution was created over 200 years ago America had very little human capital, financial capital, science, 'know how' and so forth. All Americans had was freedom, namely most important freedom-freedom from the government! America became the greatest country in the world only because it WAS the freest country in the world. People knew they can work hard and retain the fruits of their hard labor, and it was good enough to attract human capital, finances, technology and science from all over the world. America became the beacon of freedom, the freest country in the world, and, thus, the most prosperous country in the world. With the accelerating and worsening since 1913 encroachment of totalitarian "progressivism" Americans started losing their liberties along with worsening degree of freedom of the self-regulated market place, and, hence, the economic positions. Last 10 years America's share in the world's GDP dropped from 32 to 24%, and under Obama's regime keeps dropping faster and faster. As Dan Ke
