The admission of broken is not hopelessness. The admission of broken is the announcement that you’re nearing the top of what has been quite the arduous climb. Check the stats, this isn’t the end of the end if you admit it is broken. This is the beginning of what we have dreamed.

Here’s what I mean:

Both capitalism and socialism found their theories on the premise that we are held captive by masters. Capitalism founds on the master is the owner of the means of production. Socialism founds on the master is the government as a director of the means of production. For the longest time, these theories have held sway and favor. Powerful sway and favor that on most days, we no longer even question their validity.

But, in today’s time and space, these theories simply no longer hold water. Both emperors are without clothes.

Both capitalism and socialism organize their sway and favor around their controlling forces of economic transactions. Both theories are arrogant in their organization and silly in their assumption that they have the control.

In today’s time and space, the two parties to an economic transaction are the enacting contributors. They drive the ball. As we are beginning to see, both theoretical systems are being challenged with the inquiry of their contribution.

Both capitalism and socialism found their theories on the levers of currency. What is becoming more and more apparent as we cross the digital divide is that we choose the currency. Going forward into the future, if we so choose, we could trade in kisses and handshakes or even smiley face emojis.

Now granted, it wouldn’t be long before there was a smiley face emoji tax.

What I’m trying to convey is:

This is not the end of the line. This is yours and my release from bogus captivity. We are being set free. We are being set free to pursue the rightful master…which is probably a line for another entry. But, we are being set free.

Come on! Admit this is broken. Admit these economic theories are a sham. Please do this before sunsetting off to start your latest venture. Please do this so your latest venture has a greater chance of success in the future just around the corner. Don’t build your venture to the system specifications that has you in chains. The freedom and happiness that you’re seeking in your new venture isn’t to be found in the old box. The freedom and happiness that you’re seeking in your new venture is upon arrival right this minute. Get to the gate. There is more hope in this sunsetting than we even imagine.

Let’s cross the digital divide! Redrafts are ready!
