US oil imports

An outstanding example of how the achievement society favours solutions that lead to instability is the USA's dependency on oil imports.

Already in 1956 the geologist Dr. Hubbert coined the term "peak oil" to refer to maximum oil production. He predicted this would occur in 1970 for the USA, and at the beginning of the 21st century worldwide. In the case of the USA his estimate was one year out: US oil production has been declining since 1971. Already in 1970 the USA had to import 24% of its oil demand. By 2005 this figure had risen to 65%, tendency rising. Since then, eight US Presidents have announced their intention to reduce the US dependency on oil imports: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, Bush Senior, Bill Clinton, Bush Junior, Barack Obama. But they are only presidents, helpless men in the White House who can do nothing against the madness of the achievement society.

The philosophy of the achievement society 1973
Rising oil imports create an unstable situation, which drives the USA to ever more achievement. People will have to earn more if they want to keeping driving a car. The US military will have to be in a position to protect the oil trade routes everywhere. There will be wars, forcing the USA to renewed achievement.

The philosophy of the stable society 1973
The dependency on oil imports are an economic and military threat for the USA. The 1960s were the decade of space travel. We declared the 1970s to be the decade of wind energy, the 1980s to the deacde of solar energy, and the 1990s to the decade of electromobility. Of course, all projects start at the same time, but we expected the relevant technologies to be mass market capable by these respective decades.

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

Philosophies and their impact
	We know about the religious wars of the past, but we are not aware of the most significant holy war of the present day. Achievement society vs. stability.

The achievement society's ideal and its concept of the enemy
	The GEMINI inhabitable solar power station, ideal for a stable, sustainable society, is the worst bogeyman of the achievement society.

The goal of the achievement society
	What is the goal of the achievement society? More achievement. Whoever follows this entirely senselss aim will end up living in an entirely senseless society.

The methods of the achievement society
	The perfidious methods for forcing people to achieve more and more. How all increases in productivity have been withheld from citizens in the last decades.

Biofuel as an incredible hype
	The achievement society needs instability as a slaveholder's whip. The debate about biofuel vs. electromobility is a classic example of this.

Wood gatherers in the forest
	What is better? An unemployed person who heats his home with domestic fuel oil, or a wood gatherer who collects way more wood lying around in the woods than he needs? Two ideologies collide.

CER climate certificates pollution rights
	The damage created by the achievement society is supposed to be countered by an idea that has its origins in the neoliberal casino.

We have to export more at any price
	The export trade is thousands of years old, but today, the majority of states are caught up in an export race. Everyone has to export more to pay their oil bills.

Symbol of the achievement society
	More and more exports must be made so that increasingly expensive crude oil can be imported. No economy can survive that in the long run. This video symbolizes this.

Managers
	What does society expect from a manager? The different conceptions of the achievement society and of the stablity society of the manager.

Easy-earned money, hard-earned money
	Every bit more income is harder to earn. The achievement society principle destroys humans with its demand to earn ever more, ever harder-earned money.
