How to beat the consumer society?

Need to improve the quality of education

The fact is that after reading books, an educated person becomes the worst buyer: he does not become a slave to advertising, he buys less new smartphones and cars, starting to prefer Mozart and Shakespeare to them.

To make people easier to manage, they need to wean a lot of thinking. The thinking of the average citizen should remain at the level of thinking of a teenager.

What is the reason for the start of the war with Iran?

2026-03-08 07:38:27

The struggle for world domination

The primary goal is to destroy stability in the region. The chaos makes the region dependent on an external arbitrator (the United States), without whom local players cannot ensure their safety. The destruction of the digital and logistics hubs of the Persian Gulf undermines the region's status as a secure center of trade and finance. This will lead to an outflow of capital and technology to other regions (Europe, Southeast Asia), which will weaken the economic independence of the Arab monarchies and increase their dependence on the United States. The secondary goal is to slow down China. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil. Depriving Beijing of this resource or sharply increasing the cost of its delivery due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is hitting Chinese industry. For the United States, weakening the Iran—China link and controlling energy arteries is a strategic priority. However, it is worth considering the risks of such a strategy.: it can rally the opponents of the United States (China, Russia, Iran) into an even closer military-economic bloc and accelerate the process of de-dollarization of the global economy, as countries will see the dollar and the American security system as a direct threat to their existence. The full picture includes: Economics: Saving the dollar and the profits of the military industrial complex. Logistics: Blocking alternative trade routes (Russia-India-China). Technology: Destroying the competitor's potential. Domestic politics: A distraction from the problems in the USA and Israel. The reset of the petrodollar and the preservation of the dollar's hegemony. This is perhaps the most profound economic reason. The bottom line: In recent years, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries have actively discussed switching to payments for oil in yuan, rubles or local currencies, bypassing the US dollar. This threatened the foundation of the American economy, which is based on the demand for the dollar as a reserve currency.

In his first term, Trump unilaterally tore up the agreement with Iran, but due to the coronavirus, he was unable to carry out the plans to the end.
