Push For Science Majors, But Lots Of Unemployed Ph.D's Already

44. You are correct, it will not end

and winded or not, we will eventually lose. You have identified it and it is really very simple, the very best and brightest, the top 10% of the populations of India and China outnumber us, all of us, teabaggers included. We aren't going to out innovate them, and we aren't going to out educate them, there simply aren't enough of us with the capacity.

The bigger question is why run the race?

We need to mature as a society. Our only actual hope is to stop competing with each other. There is too much wasted effort in competition. When a company comes along and beats its competitors, its competitors go broke, jobs are lost and resources are wasted. Just drive around and see all the empty storefronts, these are the fruit of competition.

We need to get to know our neighbors and do business with them. My purchases are their income, and their purchases are my income. Stop shopping with corporations. Plutocrats take a slice of every dollar we spend in the company stores, and guess what, they keep it.

The even bigger question is why be a global power? The only people winning the race for global power are the 1% who can live transnationally. Our true national interests need a vastly smaller army. We need an army so small that no future President would consider an Iraq or Afghanistan without the full and very willing support of many allies. Then we can take the extra half trillion dollars a year and use it to support real community infrastructure that would benefit all.
