Eurozone Instability & Austerity: Policymakers Still Discussing It To Death In Greece

Eurozone Instability & Austerity: Policymakers Still Discussing It To Death In Greece

Will this turn out any different than the parallel conference that Bill Mitchell is attending?
How to SANELY govern Europe?
If you read the Italy agenda throughout, it looks like a set-up & cover-up.

There will be token acknowledgement of people like Bill Mitchell on a panel, but the main topics & speakers are already set to "answer" the wrong questions. The whole conference outcome is already co-opted.

If these conferences are mainly about the right way to capitulate to the ECB NeoLiberals, then it's all over except the dwindling shouting.

The only possible outcomes are slow defeat ... or a riot at one or more of these conferences?

I'm just looking for signs of when the inevitable enough is finally enough. Parasites always drive adaptive aggregates to a phase shift in their organizational state - to either death or sweeping adaptive change. It's only a matter of time.

That will be the point where aggregates remind themselves that all contexts are transient, and that there is no fixed thesis.

We need no timeless thesis or antithesis, only unending synthesis.

Actually, we should honor and laugh at social parasites, for their service in driving our constant adaptive responses. Even if we get tired of swatting mosquitoes after the fact, and eventually drain whole swamps, we just generate novel new crops of our own parasites, as a fundamental outcome of our own social diversification. Diversity & self-parasites are dual aspects of autocatalysis.

The NeoLiberals will one day be dead. Long live the parasites!

Meanwhile, history repeats itself. Who could predict that modern Greece would be felled by a Trojan Bourse?

When is a mistake not a mistake?

When it's a retake.

Yes, but even artfully purposeful mistakes cannot be repeated indefinitely.

Children's crusades, medieval moon madness, tulip mania ... they all passed, eventually.
