Unicist Tweetinar: Unicist Ontology of Wealth and Poverty
The purpose of wealth is to foster evolution to guarantee the opportunities for the next generations. Wealth/Social evolution depends on the working capacity limited by the social and institutional inertia of a culture.
Operationally, wealth depends on the working capacity, the technology, the education and the inertia of a culture. Poverty as such doesn’t exist. Poverty implies the absence of Wealth.
That is why it is commonly seen in underdeveloped countries that there are organizations who promote the “combat of poverty”.
You can combat thieves because they exist, you can combat enemies, but you cannot combat poverty. What you need to increase is wealth. The combat of poverty is just a fallacious myth to justify the distribution of an existing wealth.
The production of wealth must be fostered to reduce poverty. Combating poverty produces more poverty.
Poor countries have no power, because their working capacity is extremely low, that is why they are poor.
The production of wealth implies ensuring subsistence as a minimum strategy. This subsistence level is what we call poverty.
This level implies following the inertia of a culture and ensuring that the education makes people follow the values of such culture while using the necessary technologies for subsistence.
The maximal strategy is given by the development of work, which implies changing the inertia extending the boundaries of the activity, using innovative technologies to produce more with less while fostering the individual responsibility in education.
