Expansion and scientific development
Our “system” of global economics, and the “expansion” of the humankind is lied out to expand. We must grow to evolve. We must produce more products. We must push more money in to the ecosystem. We must use more space on our planet. This expanding is based on three “base” factors:
- Humans
- ProductionProduction reviews
- ScienceScience reviews
But on the third value we run into trouble. The problem here is that weired patent rules, prevents the “future” development of new products and the scientific development. Especially the so called “trivial” patents. Those patents are used by firms to prevent development of other firms.
Why is this a problem?
Cause the whole system is based on expansion and increasing. Those patents “stops” or slows down the scientific tree of development. Under this pressure of slowing down the scientific development, the two other trees suffer unnaturally slow downs. Those slow downs prevent the whole system to evolve. Now we all feel what will happen when one of the trees doesn’t evolve or is slowed down. We cant produce more as it should be, so less people get jobs. Our medicine is not at a point where such masses of people could be supported as it should be. We see this now with the “swine flue”. We are totally unprepared for such a situation. We have no “real” medicine, or a serum against it. We start developing it, as the problem arised.
But we are in luck ( For now ) The swine flue is not a big problem. Very few people die. Now more and more states want to vaccinate there citizens. But the development of the serum started to late. Which leads to two problems: Its to late the swine flue is over before we get a serum. And it will mutate before we get it. And cause it is produced under pressure. No one realy know if it will have negative side effects. ( Oh, for sure it will have some, but how big they will be? ) It will not be well tested before it will be used. Normally creating a serum takes 10 years or even more. Now the thing will be developed and produced in months?!?
We wouldn’t have those problems, if patents wouldn’t be so restrictive and used to block other firms in development.
We started to walk the path of expansion, and now we couldn’t stop walking this way. We must reduce the rights of patent holders, and there restrictions to expand in scientific development. But it could be too late. Our “tree of science” has been slowed down for years. Now, we could only solve this problem, by fast reacting states. And the will of the humankind to leap over the point where we should be, without useless patents, to stop other firms.
