the Efficienado movement


only a cohesive groundswell of ecologically-minded individuals can stand a chance of changing the course of destructive consumption occurring in the world today.

perhaps such education cannot be spread in time to stem the toxic backlash facing Earth's humanity.

as greedy producers chant, "Get ______ quick!" slogans, the population's addiction to the silver-bullet philosophy leaches production byproducts into our environment and leaves mounds of "attractive" packaging to fill our landfills and litter our oceans.

the aggressive consumption model derives from a blitzkrieg of information and advertisements that draw consumers into wasteful buying patterns.

for humanity to produce a functional alternative to such mass degradation of resources, it must first purge itself of aggressive individualism coupled with excessive feelings of entitlement.

the population must wrest back control of their minds in order to see the wasteland developing in the wake of greed.

Efficiency must be redefined to include calculations of health and well-being for all affected ecosystems and their members.

As Efficienados, the emerging conscious humans will recognize that while tool usage is responsible for their specie's survival, the supposed necessity of said tools must be weighed for all cultural and ecological impacts.

tools reducing ecological or individual health, directly or indirectly, should be either improved or eliminated.

Efficienados will consider their actions for all health benefits, either internal or external in kind. They will filter their consumptive behavior for wasteful purchases.

connoisseurs of efficiency will know that contentment is a product of inner balance displayed through external acts of conservation.


only such cohesive awareness may topple vestiges of greed.

let's evolve

Jeremy Wade Shockley © 2007

to the hip cats out there:

our economy relies upon the sale of resources. as consumption increases, resources are sold at higher premiums. greed results in inflation.

a capitalist society based upon taking more than it needs is doomed. question is, can we do anything to stop its failure, its destruction?

love is the only way out. all other forms of thought-in-action have failed to produce universal happiness. the philosopher's stone has been rubbed many ways, each one producing some methodology of living together. some have sought raw unadulterated power via force, some have sought power via the control of resources and others have sought power via mind control.

resources gird the entire market.


love is resource respect in action. all else is foolishly inefficient and completely non-sustainable.

sustainable efficiency has the highest rate of survival among living creatures on earth.

are you hip to the blessings of love?

freedom is but an philosophy of love in action. evolution requires a successful understanding of coexistence.

the melding of mind, body and spirit of life will yield the truest expression of genes and can only be found in the proper respect for the verb coexist.

let's evolve.

What is evil?



Economics tremble under the weight of a heavy management.

Management-heavy companies require certain amounts of greed to operate.

Cheaper production tends to occur in areas of less environmental-impact oversight.


Top-heavy corporations are prone to bending the environmental rules to satisfy their investors.

Governmental subsidization of such companies is tantamount to environmental poisoning and any purchasing done from them is the willing admittance of toxic chemical buildup in the consumer and citizen.

Which begs the question: are you buying your cancer?

Cancer is simply the accumulation of carcinogens that disrupt the system balance to the point of sparking a cellular wildfire. As greedy corporations expand across the globe, the list of known human carcinogens keeps increasing. Allowing corporations,who spew toxic by-products into the environment, to exist via subsidization or patronage is an economic policy leading to heavy expenses and excessive state oversight.

Economics is a political-science which should seek to assist in the healthy living of those it serves because unhealthy living incurs extra expenses upon the state which in turn drives taxes up and/or the country into debt.

Economic policy should foster the development of low-environmental impact companies in order to improve the health of its constituents and lighten the financial load of the state.

In this way prices are driven down and competition begins to thrive in the private individual business sectors, which fosters community and social accountability.

Financial freedom of its citizens is a symptom of state economic policy.

The US is riddled with debt topping $9,126,284,450,762 as of today, averaging $28,412 per person.

Economic political-science must support the well-being of its citizens through the protection from unhealthy corporations. Assisting socially-responsibly companies leads to healthy grow and sustainable competition.

Complacency

It is too easy to become complacent with developed patterns to such an extent that you simply overlook the damage being done.

Claiming ignorance will never wash away the stains of truth. Take a shining example of a faith white-washed in greed, seen most recently in the media spotlight under the heading mega-church corruption.

The revered Reverand Creflo Dollar, (are you kidding me, this guy's name is Dollar? you can't write comedy this good.) told the Senate, "Without a doubt, my life is not average, but I'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong."

"Doesn't necessarily mean that it's wrong?" Hmm, pardon me Mr. Dollar, you must be under the fairly narrow-minded assumption that the world is here for your taking. If I'm not mistaken isn't it easier for a CAMEL to go through the eye of a NEEDLE, than it is for a rich man to enter heaven?

But I digress, complacency is an unseen virus that enters your life on the back of accepted ignorance.

Sorry, but reading the ingredient labels is the equivalent of making yourself right with whatever divine being you believe in. If you don't understand what you are ingesting but choose to do so anyway, that's called ignorant behavior.

Ignorant behavior allows a certain amount of complacency to squeeze into your life.

If you don't believe me, simply look at the ever-expanding human waistline and increasing rate of diabetes. These are simple facts which seem to allude most people mainly because they want to avoid inconveniencing themselves with silly consequences.

Get angry, get sad, get upset, cry, laugh, just do something to stoke the fires of creativity that are smoldering inside. Within the fires of creative self you may find the refiner's fire of truth.

question



sometimes freedom comes at the price of preconceived dignity.

to this moment i am in awe of human survival, how we have managed to survive this long with such pathetic usage of our neural networks baffles me.

it would seem that supposition and ignorance are Capital in the human mind and humans are
highly capable of killing themselves off without the help of mama Earth and papa Sun.

Global warming...i'm not worried so much about global warming as i am poisoning. humans are simply dumb to think that they can dump unnaturally concentrated chemical compositions into their water and food sources without disrupting their own health.

i'm worried that as the poisons accumulate, we won't be able to go to the beach, much less survive!

oh silly me, i'm beating the drum of worry and dread into you head, luckily my words will hurt much less than your mutated genes. (too harsh?)

let's put it this way: human greed drives consumption beyond human need and there are plenty of ecological compromises made along the way to wealth. (see
here and here and here and here, etc.)

ecological compromises produce
dangerous mercury levels in aquatic life and the reduction of plant life able to breathe carbon-dioxide.

medication dosages are on the rise
in our "germ-free" world, so take another pill and you'll forget we ever had this conversation and "everything will be alright."
