The five thousand year Hand of Millennia project by Earth to reach its Moon finally attained success yesterday when Neil Armstrong placed his foot on the old visible satellite. The event signaled a new willingness to find more ways to work through peace than continue the tragic struggles to accomplish anything significant and new through war.
Unfortunately, Terran economies are collapsing almost to the idiocy of rural life everywhere. Almost every technology including architecture since millions of years earlier had been developed with the goal of flying to the Moon in mind. As a result, most industrial development was massively overconstructed and highly energetic, which places a premium on fast forward.
The collapse was not unexpected although because of its magnitude it will require extensive redesign of prevailing economic forms. Earth people are busy as cats on a tin roof trying to balance old, obviously valuable forms and mercifully exorcise the erroneous. One pattern, the form of government, consists of two parts-monarchy and community. Monarchs see the community as hordes and swarms of individuals. Communities often produce outspoken people who accuse monarchies of being selfish, greedy pigs.
Just what comes of this old familiar struggle for Earth remains to be seen.
