Understanding the American Financial Industry Mindset ... summary comment.

Despite all that's happened in the financial world over the last several years, the mindset of the firms and banks making up the industry may not have changed appreciably. This means that the people worldwide will have to adjust to a permanent phenomenon of game playing. The mindset is focused on me, or I, or the self as a financial enterprise playing a game within what is considered a willing group. That group is the worldwide population.

The group set is that everyone wins because there is a payout and the losers are not willing to end the games. Payouts give advantages to winners that puts losers into the background of the rule changing of the games played. Losers don't end the game playing, but they do drop out of games. Players may even get caught cheating or put the playing field at risk. Nevertheless, the games continue and the losers pay handsomely whether they like it or not.

The sad thing about the games is that they change income and wealth distribution increasingly towards biological responses that increase the actual numbers of losers. This too favors those changing game rules and means larger payouts and easier pickings over lots and lots of games and over shorter and shorter financial industry product cycles.

Rather than having a world view of people as people, the financial game players, and especially those living in America, don't see the results of their game playing. They see no morality codes that need to be adhered to other than cheating at the games and changing e rules of the games in their favor. Their existence is focused on winning more and more games with bigger and bigger payouts. They care nothing, nothing, about the progress of other players other than that they are competing with them for larger and larger payouts.

Most other people see people as people and not as not financial "John's" to be screwed. Most people live in an interactive world of human beings and have normal emotional responses, but the game players have lost that sensitivity. For them, any game goes as long as the payout is better. That is their mindset and it is what and who they are. They can even be machines. Yes, the new game players can behave like machines or they can actually be the machines themselves. Game players can control machines that play the games for them, or play some of the games for them. Machines can control machines to play games.

So the financing world has changed, or seemingly so. There is less morality in the finical world because the machine has already taken over and its goal is larger and larger payouts to game players, human and machine compositions, that play more and more games with larger and larger payouts from winning.

Yes, as a human being, you have already lost to the machine, an amoral machine at that, who is controlling your time and money-making activities more and more. There are no rules in games played by the machine game player that cannot be re-written in it's favor.

My friend, the battle against an amoral machine has already been lost.

Will ye no think kindly on those who would be your friends! May the sun shine on your thoughts, today!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
