The Disbelief in the Economy.

The Economy.

With all the world in a mess because of it, it would make sense to figure out the economy's part in the grand scheme of things.

The economy is defined as:

"The economy is the realized social system of productionexchangedistribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, civilization's history and social organization, as well as its geographynatural resource endowment, and ecology, among other factors."

Let's break down this definition shall we.

"The economy is the realized social system of productionexchangedistribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, civilization's history and social organization, as well as its geographynatural resource endowment, and ecology, among other factors."

Let's look at the statement in red,  The economy is said to be a realized social system. A realized social system can be interpreted to be a system that is accepted by those of a society. Therefore, no matter how bad the economy is as long as it is accepted, it will be an all encompassing part of our life.

"The economy is the realized social system of productionexchangedistribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, civilization's history and social organization, as well as its geographynatural resource endowment, and ecology, among other factors."

In this explanation, it states that based on these factors an economy is born. Now, the factors like technological evolution, civilization's history and social organization are constructs of human intelligence. These are factors that are constantly in a state of change. Therefore, making the economy as all things we have created, susceptible to being destroyed.

So why is it that we continue to believe in such a fragile system that forces upon us the need to work and create difference's in statuses based on income.

A system that no matter how much we can see benefit in we can, as we are experiencing now, suffer major losses in the state of well being in all human nature.

Now, my disbelief in an economy may seem radical to some, but just sit and think for a moment just what will happen if an economy does crash?

"The economy is the realized social system of productionexchangedistribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, civilization's history and social organization, as well as its geographynatural resource endowment, and ecology, among other factors."

Take a look at the last statement in red. These are all things of nature which are last in the definition because they, like all we have strived for as human beings, are always the end result. 

Nature doesn't need an economy to make its decisions so why are we, beings of nature that we are, not as the nature we live amongst.

Do we so fear going back to living in cave times that we let the concept of an all encompassing system rule over us?

Don't we still have the ability to make live the way we want if we all decide that we will work together for the common good instead of for the love of money.

I say we do and until we realize this, we will have to live in a world where our uncertainy will only match our imagination that without an economy, we will all crumble.

TiRon.Unsigned Artist of the Week.


Our Unsigned Artist of the Week for this week is TiRon from Los Angeles, California. In a world where anyone with talent seems to be from another world, it good to get an artist like TiRon to bring us back down to earth. 

He possesses a talent with his lyrics to relate to just about anyone who is willing to lend an ear to his music. From rapping about being put in the "friend zone" to dealing with the problems that living the high life with no money can bring, he brings sensible commentary to a sometimes spend thrift and misogynistic rap world.

Working behind a medley of beats that have a classic west coast vibe that is fresh and new, he is poised to make a big impact in years to come.

My Favorite Songs from TiRon are "The High" and "Throwing My Money"

A Life for the Unliving.


Now, I don't usually get philosophical when I watch old cartoons or listen to video game music from the past but something struck me as strange. For the first time I realized I was actually revisiting my past. I was never that conscious of the fact that I could revisit periods of my life through art and entertainment.

It is funny how Art and Entertainment is weaved into the tapestry of our world so much that it holds the experiences of our past, and will influence our future, yet for the most part they are dubbed as unnecessary spending in our schools and seen sometimes as a great dumbing down of our present culture.

I wish to explore more how our modern day Art and Entertainment has become a give and take relationship which I feel we the people give life to and how it has become more of truth in our day and age than any others.

Ya Boy. Unsigned Artist of the Week.


Our Unsigned Hype for this Week is Ya Boy for San Francisco.  In a generation where it would seem like "gangsta rap" is on its way out, Ya Boy is the shining hope for the subgenre. However, he brings his lyrical ability and Heavy bass melodies in a way that instead of making you cringe, it makes you move your head to the music and enjoy the guilty pleasure of enjoying a hood sound.

Though he has had his ups and downs in his career being signed and unsigned at times, he looks poised to make a good run in his years to come.

My Favorites from Ya Boy are "We Run LA" and "I Got The Power"
