I absolutely agree. As I work at understanding the complexities of nature and of hubeings I become more aware and presence. The fact that I can examine the point of view of different local media as I can access their reality sitting in front of my computer I can build my own understanding of what is happening from my reality. I agree that there is an undeclared war going on. Russia and China are breaking away from a US dominated economy by creating their own space for currency exchange. In South America similar economies are dealing with the US dollar in different ways. In 2014 The Mexican peso has retained its value, Chile has devalued their peso by 10%, Peru devalued their Sol by 6% and here comes the surprise, Colombia devalued their peso by 20% (28% devaluation in the second half of the year). I am certain that the price of oil has had something to do with the difference as Colombia relies heavily on oil exports. Colombia’s strategy is working in terms of keeping its growth in around 5% in the last quarter while the other economies are experiencing deceleration. I can be wrong, but at least I am building my own version of the truth. I understand that all of world economies are affected by what happens in the USA but there are also local differences (Macro and Micro duality). I feel frustrated to see that world leaders in Lima were unable to make substantial agreements to deal with climate change. We are all dependent on ONE biosphere and share ONE planet. The irony is that Greenpeace tried to make a point on Peruvian archeological sites to call for action in the Lima Climate Conference, but they apparently caused some damage in an ancient astronomical calendar. Peruvians are now protesting in defense of heir heritage, while they forget that if we do not deal with climate change there will be no people to inherit anything. I agree that Greenpeace made a big mistake but as a hubeing I can not afford to loose track of the real issue: we either deal with the environment or the environment will deal with us! (Macro Micro again!). Thank you John for teaching me how to think for myself.
