We're in a temporary set back, similar to 1930-1945, as technology and globalization displaces workers. // A planned economy, as such, may be accompanied by // the complete enslavement of the individual. Amen, we've yet to see one that doesn't enslave us, reducing us to mere cogs in a massively corrupt, suicide machine. Blue-eyed Norway, in the frozen North, is the sole exception. // How can the rights of the individual be protected and, therewith, // a democratic counterweight to the power of bureaucracy be assured ? Bottom line: Einstein can't answer this, his own question.
