The Crisis of Mankind

Being asked by my Romanian friend, Daniel Drogomirescu, editor of the international magazine “Contemporary Literary Horizon”, for an article about my sincere opinion about the present crisis of the world, reduced only to the reasons of the CONVID 19 health problems, I hesitated at first because I am not a “wise” man who knows answers to the many of questions.

But – on the other hand – I know plenty of questions that are not asked and, subsequently, are not answered – because of various reasons. So I am going to put some of these questions on the tablet hoping that one or another can be answered by itself, just by clearly speaking it out.

I suggest three categories of questions concerning 1) economy, 2) ideology, 3) democracy

which may stand for the foundations of society as well as for the state organization.

Economy:

1. Which of the economically important states does not follow the irrelevant doctrine of permanent and infinite economic growth on our limited planet?
2. Does any of these states really care about the poor districts, slums and ghettos where millions of humans are suffering?
3. How many of these states deal with weapons instead of helping the poor countries with civil goods?
4. Is there a difference between capitalist or communist exploitation?
5. Does any of the preachers of economic growth calculate the amount of rubbish and its necessary clearing?
6. Do the industrialized populations take notice of low wages or even slavery in the poor countries where international companies let produce the wares that are sold at cheapest prices in the capitalist home countries?

Ideology:

1. Is there any state without ideology or religion, without indoctrination but with enlightenment instead?
2. Is there a difference between ideology and nationalism, even racism and the faith of being chosen by any “God”?
3. Which ideology can be confirmed by objective science?
4. Does ideology serve or hurt human rights?
5. Isn't ideology nothing else but an instrument of ruling and patronizing the citizens?
6. Isn't ideology the precondition for all the wars ever?

Democracy:

1. Democracy is depending on humans' education and self-consciousness. Where on this planet is this condition a really fulfilled fact?
2. Isn't democracy just a great pretending as the actual governors are finance bosses or clergymen or other ideologists, often acting from behind?
3. Is there any country on the globe where the leading media don't serve the state reason that is always updated by the present rulers – however they have come into power?
4. What about violence? Don't the “democratic societies” tolerate and support violence by delivering weapons, by turning over foreign governments, by doing contracts with terrorists, by trading with inhumane regimes?
5. Are the common people prepared for democracy which also means responsibility, fair competition and humanity as well as the shelter of flora and fauna?
6. Aren't democracy and freedom deformed into global greed of “free trade” with even undemocratic own justice, at first following the intention of “devil may care” or “let us hope for a better life in the hereafter”?

So – in general – it is possible that a pandemic like COVID 19 is shocking mankind all over the globe, independently from any political systems which all in the same way feel in substantial danger. Though the systems are even bloody competitors they are working all in the same manner: exploiting people and nature for the benefit of the ruling classes. These classes are identically narrow-minded and unprepared for any unexpected challenge like a new virus and their first thoughts are how to assure their position keeping in wealth and power.

Best way is to calm people down by creating activism up to hysteria making them anxious so that they accept quarantine, total control of their private lives, causing financial chaos and at last forcing the individual into dictatorship because of the urgent recovery of the state which has been ruined by massive incompetent decisions before, just to cope with the disease.

There are hardly any international scientific collaborations but national egoistic restrictions,

distrusting the neighbors – even within political coalitions like the European Union or within federal structures like the USA or Germany where low-minded dissents become obvious.

The current ideologies of the globe are all aware of their lying, betraying, their cheating and criminal as well military actions. They know about their failures and they know as well that the technical progress is more and more debunking their egoistic rapes of mankind and their omissions of scientific preventive measures and sustainability.

COVID 19 blames them all who failed and who are now struggling for keeping up their “careless” system.

The people, as it has been always, will have to pay the price for all the politically incompetent campaigns which, above all, will weaken democracy, human liberty and which are destroying humane social structures, welfare and the economical basis of the state turning back gradually to totalitarian habits.

More people will suffer much more from the inefficient actions of lacking causality and from the not coordinated decisions all over the world than from the actual disease.

Do the numerous so-called experts, contradicting themselves and each other, really know in whose interest they are proclaiming and interpreting arbitrary statistics giving advice to ignorant politicians?

Maybe the whole situation is a hint for consideration: Democracy and freedom, in their vulnerable status of just beginning rarely, and civilized culture could find their end by caused hysteria, panic and disorientation in global error and not only by the usual nationalism and war even.

More than ever before there is an urgent need for new social behaviors, the old values of double standards can't be defended any more as the world population is increasing and with it the demand for emancipation.

My suggestion is called Cosmonomy.
