Prophet Vs. Profit: The Case of the Missing Link


What I'm selling is a way of living. I profit by promoting the idea that intelligence manages society. It may be for their profit, but it may be for your profit as well.

What do you say? We have no where to go but up from here. Can you spare a dime? If you work only for money it is your way. If you work for many reasons, that is your way. If you have money work for you be sure to know what it is your work is doing.

Business is only business: It seems as if this is the expression that creates Homo Sappenme's from men and women of pre-industrial, pre-service and pre-agricultural economies.

Business is business. In a "new" world economy, business is capable of again returning from converting people into vehicles for profit back into vehicles for persons. Instead of rejecting the old world economy, embrace it, own it and prophet from it. This is the economy owned by your parents and peers and I don't advocate for diminishing the capability of the free market. However, I do advocate for removal of those business men and women who are justifying the end with the means. It's not personal, it's just business.

This new world economy will be and may be already a place where intelligence, understanding and strength lay in the hands and minds each person participating not in the lawmakers hands nor the hands of those that are already so strong that a simple handshake might make or break a young mans spirit. Firm is plenty!

And something to think about once we exist, in this new world information age economy: While ones thoughts may be invisible at first, the ideas move from place to place radiating and reverberating. Something that we should think about in the old world is that thoughts are powerful and responsibility comes with power.

In the end I leave you with where I begin: To think about a new place is the beginning. Not throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Practice what you preach. Lead by example.

And here I begin with the ideas and thoughts of where I want to go, how I want to get there, and maybe even why.
