If I remember correctly, in high school my teacher taught me how the invention of the assembly line was supposed to revolutionize the idea of capitalism. Things would be made much faster, and by everyone in the assembly line having a small but focused job, there would be extra time for stuff like fun. I don’t think many assembly line workers have free time in mind when they go to work these days.
First of all, assembly lines are usually no longer profitable in America, although we do farm them out oversees to people that we are allowed to pay whatever we want, and there always seems to be takers for these jobs. Let’s look at why? First of all, these workers lack skill sets, so when American Corporations defend the wages they pay overseas they play this card saying offering that we pay them so poorly essentially because we can get away with it. Fast forward to the modern era and now we are closing in on the idea that we don’t need anyone at all, and therefore there is no reason to pay someone anything, because everyone is replaceable.
And, now that I think of that, I don’t agree that people are replaceable just because we can get a machine or another person to do their job based upon a mere whim. A job can be found in Him merely though worship of Him. Yet, that day has yet to fully come, so don’t yet quit your day job. Most people probably like to think they are valuable, and they are, but the difference in today’s world is that their value is not going to be determined by their occupation. Those that accept that people are replaceable are probably going to be the first to say, something like, “Gee! Now that I have realized that I am useless, what can I do now?” For some that thought is pure bliss, for others that thought is a reason for suicide. Unfortunately, some people worship capitalism, as if it was a Gd, and the thought of life without capitalism brings nothing but the greatest sorrow of sorrows.
These are probably the people I least worry about: If you have the knowledge to know you can probably be outpaced by a machine, or someday in the near future, that that is right around the bend, you’ve probably taken some time to entertain yourself spiritually. Possibly, like me, you have gone on the quest to find the one true Gd, or something similar. These will be the types of escapades that will go on more often starting in about year 6,000 on the Orthodox Jewish calendar. This will be the 7th millennium, which in Judaism is known as the age of Moshiach. I like to explain this age as if it were Eden. If you paid it forward and did your good deeds, in the age of Moshiach, there will be no more work for you, although life will be better than just good.
In the Middle Ages and the Dark Ages times were much tougher. Now we have the time to explore the world at our leisure because really, few people need to work more than 40hr weeks, unless they want to. Just as the inventions from 1990 to 2000 where greater in number (and downright amusingness) than we have seen in the entirety of the rest of all other time periods, so too will technology cause us to all be obsolete if we allow ourselves to believe the lies about life in an atheist world.
As we head towards socialized healthcare in America, as well as for places that are more impoverished, such as in Africa through charities such as Heifer International, I think that it is safe to say that we are headed to a world that might be described as being like the Garden of Eden. In my mind, the rules of the universe will remain the same. Live by the golden rule and karma, and chances are that somehow you will come out on top.
If I had to refute the late Christopher Hitchens, then I would say, “Live a life of superstition because I can guarantee you that doing good deeds is the best way to choose no matter how superstitious it may seem.” Ozzy Osbourne was spot on in his song, “I don’t know,” in which he rather ironically claims, “Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You got to believe in foolish miracles.” Thus, it is such with reality; if we are able to make peace with our Creator, then indeed He will probably allow us a share of life in a peaceful world for our good deeds. Likewise, I should importantly say, good deeds are not always easy to do. I have spent a good deal of my lifetime trying to communicate over the net the blessings of doing what is moral, and upright. Learning to write didn’t happen in a day, a month, or even a year.
My take home message is to go study, be it books or baseballs, etc., with the aim of making yourself useful, and eventually, though you may crawl and cry, eventually things will work out for Gd. Take for instance the passage in Genesis that Joseph says, “You intended to harm me, but Gd intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” I guess that makes me a priest of sorts. So, when I go to write, I share what I know for the sake of helping people that I don’t know. In my darkest hour, You were there for me, Gd. You told me of your anger saying, “I am punishing you,” which was as music for my ears because I thought that not only wasn’t there a Gd, but also the Gd I had been told of was a wimp, so I dismissed my knowledge of a wimpy Gd. Gd you were there to accuse me, such that my soul repented out of love for your voice, and I realized that You, Gd, are a vengeful and wrathful Gd. He, Gd, reached out to me, so following that pattern, to imitate His just ways, I reach out to you, in the hope that Eden will be for all of us, from the greatest to the least, and none will be able to say, I am not important, because we can derive that Gd is reasonable because His creation is reasonable, and for His creation to be reasonable, each soul in it must have a share in the World to Come, as each soul has a share from the breath of Gd that came from Him in the creation week of Genesis Chapter 1.

Collected Facebook Comments on the Occupy Wall Street Movement 10/4 – 10/5, 2011
Some of My Collected Comments on the Occupy Wall Street Movement 10/4 – 10/5, 2011
sometimes the haves are not the people that deserve and sometimes the have nots are the people that deserve. in this world the key is put into our hands. we can either do something to make things right or choose not to. i applaud all the people that stand up for what is right and I encourage everyone to measure their neighbor by how much they give and not what they get. and to the person that would give but is physically or mentally incapable of giving as much as their neighbor but would if they could, it is just as if they have given just as much as the person who seemingly has everything to give
We will not fail. Our success does not rest on the success of a leader. Everyone in the movement is a part of the team. Leaders are too easily put out of commission, but groups cant fail when any one individual fails.
1% of the people have too much!
Isn't this what Occupy Wall Street is saying and yet when I Google Occupy Wall Street, the news sources are telling me that this movement is a joke? The news is lying. Occupy Wall Street is a coherent movement. So what if it doesn't have a leader! Not having a leader makes it stronger. If a movement has a leader then when the leader is stopped or assassinated then it dies. Leaders are to easily put out of commission, but a group of people with the same ideas and they don’t have to be perfectly similar is stronger because it is more difficult to stop. you can stop any one person, several people or even many people but the movement won’t lose momentum.
Craig Hamilton movements with leaders are too easily put down. all you have to is put down the leader or install a fake one. perhaps what put the brakes on the tea party was the installation of a pathetic leader, Sarah Palin, to their cause. this is the power that the 1% have that control the media. they can put terrible leaders into good causes by giving them financial backing. the strength of occupy wall street is that it has no leader.
Craig Hamilton the 99% are the ones that can be replaced by computers. doctors wake up. these people are you too. the current model, capitalism, treats people as supply. people are not supply! guess what the clock is ticking and humans are becoming obsolete. we owe it to ourselves to not treat each other as supply
Craig Hamilton the 1% used their financial power to put Sarah Palin as the leader of the tea party. the 1% sabotaged the tea party by giving it a terrible leader. we are the occupy wall street movement. a leader does not speak for us. we have mouths. we speak for ourselves.
one person is never able to do the work of 475 people, yet you would think so if pay scales were fair. this is my promise to that 1 person of the 475 that has the ability to share the wealth and not be greedy: YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED FOR THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN A COMPUTER CAN DO YOUR JOB LIKE IT CAN DO THE REST OF OUR JOBS. We are the 99%. WE can be replaced and you the 1% that oppresses us will be replaceable too!
Craig Hamilton There is definitely something self defeating about the idea of this movement getting a leader. This is how it would likely go. The movement accepts someone as their leader. Now she needs to get elected. Now she needs campaign contributions. Now she sells out some thinking that that she will still be able to accomplish something. One thing leads to another and nothing gets accomplished.
Craig Hamilton the 1% would love to sabotage this movement by giving it one of their leaders in the same way they sabotaged the tea party by making Sarah Palin its leader. the 1% control the media. they want to install their leaders. and the list of complaints that the 99% has is massive. this list is too massive to be organized
One reason we can be sure that Occupy Wall Street is important is that people are knocking it. Like the professors that grade a student too harshly for wanting to change the establishment, the press and others have been knocking this group since day one. They say Occupy Wall Street is too this or too that. They don't play by the rules. They are too unorthodox. They are x, so they can't. They are y, so they can't. They are z, so they can't. But, let me tell you all the criticisms Occupy Wall Street is getting are nothing but the earmarks of a group that has great potential, the kind that makes history.
Craig Hamilton What gives with the technical difficulties on Facebook on the subject of occupy wall street? they aren't letting me like or comment many times now.
Craig Hamilton what gives Facebook is not letting me like your comments? corporations are still trying to keep us from succeeding. senator sanders says this movement has millions of followers not thousands.
Craig Hamilton I think that either Facebook or the government is already trying to stop this movement by making it seem less popular than it really is. for example, sometimes my comments have been blocked and Facebook blocks me from using the like button as often as i would like to on this subject.
Craig Hamilton re roger yours is just one of the many comments I have tried to like but have been prevented from doing so. in my opinion this is Facebook trying to quash this movement.
Occupy Wall Street, leader, direction, coherent, Facebook, haves, have nots, Sarah Palin, robots, obsolete, quash, criticism, criticism refuted, 1%, we are the 99%
