Bacteria also operate under the perpetual growth model. The problem is when they hit the edge of the petri dish.

The advantage of multicellular organisms is being able to sense and navigate situations.

Society forms a super organism, as such. Government, as executive and regulatory function, is analogous to the nervous system, while money and banking serve the function of blood and the circulation system, equalizing resources around the entity.

The problem is that we have evolved enough to understand government functions as a public utility, even if it's more complicated than one autocrat.

We just haven't realized the same principle applies to banking. When the medium enabling markets is privately held, we are all tenant farmers to the banks.

With public government and private banking, the banks rule and the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically. "The real money is in bonds."

The effect is an economic Ebola virus, as everything dissolves into a septic sludge.

We are getting close to the edge of the dish.
