Explosive development of computer technology has influenced every aspect of planetary life, notably aviation (e.g. -air- transport) , instant interactive audio-visual global communication (to microcosmic level) also including vastly superior propaganda psychology and propaganda technology .
This has resulted in an unprecedented acceleration of (mainstream) cultural diffusion on a planetary scale with Capitalism -only profit counts- now being the dominant ideology factually replacing all other (de facto totalitarian) ideologies such as communism and socialism .
One very likely moral development of this will be the GATTACA MODEL which may very well lead to incorporation of the LOCUST MODEL as a logical consequence with LARGE SCALE EUTHANASIA as a (benign . . .) operational mode .
One result of the above phenomena (in dynamic interaction) may be a massive craving for EUTHANASIA by a very large number of humans living today .
Relevant reasons would probably relate to catastrophical deterioration of living conditions as a result of factors including the following phenomena in vicious dynamic interaction .
1. Massive unemployment - 2. Home removal - 3. Harsh labor - 4. Reservations / camps / prisons / - 5. Increasingly draconian justice .
Aspects of capitalism .
Including many many positive aspects of capitalism (consider the internet - which is why you can read this message ! - ) we must also consider many serious negative aspects such as :
Massive unemployment .
Capitalism adapted legislation involves basic changes in labor contracts leading to very short contract termination notice and replacement of employees with (imported) child/teenage labor at (often less then) minimum wage .
Companies can also easily be dissolved (easy riddance of total workforce) or moved to cheaper countries anywhere on the planet .
Additionally ever increasing computerized automation of mechanical systems of all sizes will eventually reduce the need for human labor at an astronomical rate .
It could be argued that man must simply better learn to prepare for "old age" (sensible investments , pension funds , real estate). It must only be considered that very considerable experience has now become available with stock marked crashes , also affecting pension funds and real estate as a result of mortgages becoming unpayable as a result of all the factors just mentioned above in vicious dynamic interaction .
Becoming Homeless .
It is only logical that the real estate market , like all healthy markets, must work with marketing strategies to make a profit. Only with real estate , high profile sales-talk provoked over enthusiastic buying often leads to ending up in campers, tents or worse . This is not the same as losing a wide-screen TV , a Dolby 3 dimensional sound system or even a car . . . In many countries this is now happening on a large scale .
Additionally more then 75% of all households in many European cities live in rental homes (Amsterdam, Berlin, Bratislava, Hamburg, Krakow, München, Paris, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Warschau -see graph for total picture in Europe) . One aspect of capitalism is "liberalizing rents". In many countries (e.g. in Europe) rent price protection has been a basic right for many many decades , closely related to the right to life .
Liberalizing rents simply means this right is abolished often resulting in skyrocketing rents . Citizens are suddenly faced with the incredibly stressful reality of having to abandon the home and the neighborhood where they grew up , have their friends and hoped to enjoy a well earned peaceful second half of life . Now they have to leave all this behind facing the reality of having to move, again and again whenever rents rise, to remote places which may eventually be reservations when as a result of massive unemployment this remains the only option .
Harsh labor.
As a result of massive unemployment labor conditions will obviously deteriorate rapidly to a critical level . When there is very little work , you may have to settle for anything you can get .
Reservations, camps , prisons .
These systems merely form a temporal sequence . Conditions in reservations usually deteriorate when they become unprofitable . Then the time has come to put more and more people in them and put fences and barbed wire around . This is the lesson of history . Finally this will lead to many people sharing a room .
The net result of the points mentioned above will often be prisons . As life becomes increasingly unbearable people may start to rebel which also results in crime ultimately leading to draconian justice.
One small problem of this development is that it does not incorporate a guarantee that "privileged class" members including their loved ones (e.g. children, grandchildren) can maintain their "privileged" status indefinitely . Then what . . .
Well promoted . . . idealized . . . euthanasia . . . weil sie in der Agony wahren . . .?
It is hypothised that contemporary human organisms including their shepherds may want to ask themselves only this :"Do we really want to go into history as the living of the era that produced and promoted such a civilization . . .?"
Sorry to be such a bore . . .
