Survival of the fittest was a horrid illulsion. It is the reality most of us have been convinced of from birth. Always in constant conflict with our innate knowledge -deep inside our DNA laid the truth that all economy is based on networked systems of shared consumption. The gaia. By contrast our inter-human economic affairs, as well as our perception of the 'purpose' of nature, has for several centuries been based on the murderous premise of survival of the fittest -
We now have finally come to realize that Gaia could not possibly have survived as a system based on a premise of competition, and that our previously flawed beliefs has so upset the relationship of harmonic systems, that we must drastically change our human economy to be in tune with
Gaia's. (And likely assist Her in paying off the deficit we have accumulated with her.) We have finally- and hopefully not too late- awoken to the fact that all relations whether they be inter-human or inter-gaia, must be based on the Universal model of shared economics. This is the essence of true natural order ... it is the biotic system that we now attempt to mimic...not just in how we plant our gardens, but in how we plan every organizations definition and mode of profits.
The change has come. The revolution is upon us. The living bridge has been woven. The new epoch has arrived as in the past - with great suddenness. We are living in the metaphorical flood, and from the macro to the micro the markets, policy and business dealings smack of panic and desperation by those that refused to step aboard the Ark.
Like the living tree bridge (http://thegreeneyeofpgi.blogspot.in/2010/11/living-bridges-of-assam.html) we must use our minds to arrange and intertwine and resources -human and natural- needed to usher in a new age of commerce that pays its dividends to all. We must expediently re-learn long forgotten wisdoms and innate knowlege of how to integrate and become a harmonic part of Gaia's systems of which we are all indivisible.
The previous epoch was an Age of Enlightenment wherein we evolved through cognizance that each individual was born possessed of inalienable rights. We're now crossing over to the second age wherein we've become cognizant that all things must be granted those same rights ... the Land Ethic. An Ethic that must permeate every one of our human functions and endeavors. A sort of natural license. Certain structures are forming and gaining tractions such as L3C 's and B corps and hybrid cooperatives. These are quantum leaps for any who has experience in such things. Just as the UCC was the codification of centuries of merchantile custom and practice, so too must be the Land Ethic. It must be the enforceable right of Gaia as a stakeholder, and that of every transaction with Gaia, or human. Just as the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity crumbled in the face of democratic governance, so has Gaia proven our doctrine of exploitive economics fails the test of moral reality.
