Aging peoples

Lecture



Not ten grandchildren bury their grandmother, but one sadly fusses about burying all the grandparents.
And the consequences of this are not only economic and social.
The old nations mow, stiffen. Raising the average age is a decrease in the energy of the people, not the pressure and enthusiasm, not the courage and greatness of goals.
Increasing age is less susceptibility to new ideas. Ideological inertness and inertia, passivity.
Age conservatism would prefer to keep everything as it is. Tendency to a protective, defensive policy. The initiative in the confrontation of civilizations is given to another: who is younger, more energetic and greedy. It is no longer about capturing a new and changing the world - but preserving the old and preserving the world.
Careers in a well-established society are difficult - everyone keeps on the achieved steps to retirement, and the pressure of an energetic young age is spent more on holding a high position, and less on doing business in this position, compared to young nations.
Older age often asks the question: “Does the fig do it at all?” He wants more peace. Force has less. As a result, the whole of society makes totally less than, all other things being equal, young.
And the average age of parents rises, and they give birth to less healthy children.
And more and more of the energy of society takes care of the sick and old.
Post-industrialization as extinction
36 Today in the United States, 80% of the economy works for the production of services to the population, and only 20% for the production of a product. And everyone says that it is very good and everyone should strive for it. So that people live well. And this is a sign of a powerful and healthy economy. Humanism and care for people.
Now.
This ridiculous and naive mistake, which has become the prevailing opinion today, stems from a lack of understanding of the essence of the state. From the vulgar anthropocentrism. And no less vulgar rationalism.
It goes back to the "social contract theory" of Rousseau. People gathered together and decided: let's agree on how we should live together, so that everyone could get better. We are smart! We understand everything. And as we decide, we will act in our own interests. (The disciples and followers of Rousseau staged the Great French Revolution - and suddenly they began to cut each other’s heads with such zeal that they still take a bite.)
It is natural and comfortable for a person to think that it is he who creates the state for himself, and it serves his interests. What about ?! The sun revolves around the Earth, it is clear to everyone.
But. But. The history of the Universe and the Earth is the evolution of systems from simple to complex, and in the complication of step-by-step structures — what happens? Increasing energy, energy, energy content of more and more complex systems. Systems self-form in such a way as to contain as much energy as possible - or, what is the same thing, abilities for maximum actions.
