MY IDEOLOGY HAS CHANGED, THERE WILL BE A PAGE REVAMP. (I also want to change some of the wording so yea)

Philosophy

 * -| Metaphysics and Epistemology =

[[File:Camus.png]] Existentialism [[File:Camus.png]]
I believe that when it comes to the issue of the meaning of life, that there is really no meaning and it absolutely does not matter. This is in line with the philosophy of existentialism, believing that while there is no meaning to it, we should seek to make our own meaning to our own life, believing it to be a relative thing from person to person. I support the Camusian interpretation of existentialism, believing that there are 3 outcomes in the realization (or enlightenment) that there is no life. First, the easy, but more absurd way out: suicide. The person would leave life entirely if it doesn't have meaning. Second, make a leap of faith. The person would just continue to try and find a universal meaning of life and finally, and the ideal option of them all: embrace this absurd reality that life is really not meaningful, unless you give it meaning.

[[File:HegelianPhilosophy.png]] Zeitgeist [[File:HegelianPhilosophy.png]]
I believe that, like, G.W.F Hegel, history is defined by spirits of each given era, with there being example for a  populist spirit in the modern era, seeing the rise of  right-wing populist politicians like Trump, Bolsonaro, Le Pen etc. During the industrial revolution there was naturally an  industrial spirit during the Industrial Revolution and many other examples. I believe there is a force that could be allowing for these epoch spirits mentioned above to happen. I also believe that the age of the internet has allowed for there to many geists in a given era, due to the rapid distribution of information. I also believe that great men like Napoleon Bonaparte are part of what's called a weltgeist (world spirit), them being more than just a zeitgeist (spirit of the age), and being much more profound, seeing as how they remain famous even to this day. I believe that the Zeitgeist is the most sensical historical theory, at least compared to theories like  historical/dialectical materialism.

Economics

 * -| Economic Models =

[[File:WEF-Icon.png]] Stakeholder Capitalism [[File:WEF-Icon.png]]
(I am not a WEF fan, the WEF logo is just there as a joke. I hate those hypocritical elitists.)

I believe the current problem with the system of capitalism in the modern day is that it is in the form of  shareholder capitalism. This means that the current form of capitalism has a tendency to excessively prioritize  profit and shareholders over other stakeholders like  the environment and  workers. I seek to create that balances these three interests, through what I call  Stakeholder Capitalism. Through this system, we can balance the interests of shareholders, the environment and of the people themselves. We can create an harmonious system that works for all. There are many ways I seek to make capitalism more stakeholder-oriented, these include policies like sovereign wealth funds,  universal basic income,  anti-trust enforcement and many others, that will be mentioned in this page. I believe that companies need to focus not only on the interests of profit but also on the environment and the wellbeing of the people in general. I believe that through shareholder capitalism there has been a massive shareholder primacy that has developed in our political system and we need to undo it, slowly, but surely. I believe that a system like this in the modern world is best replicated through the Nordic Model, where there is a degree of  economic liberalization while the interests of the environment and workers are respected, with them having the  highest rates of unionization and also being in general the most eco-friendly countries overall. Take Denmark which has most of its energy coming from Renewables. In conclusion, I believe that capitalism, like any other economic system is imperfect, and the current system is definitely so, but with enough tweaks we can get it to be a better system that truly sees the benefits of innovation spill over to the 99%, not to a rich few.

[[File:Post-Industrialism.png]] Fourth Industrial Revolution [[File:Post-Industrialism.png]]
I believe that the first industrial revolution was defined by mechanization, the second industrial revolution was defined by mass production, the third industrial revolution (the one we went through) is defined by automation and the fourth industrial revolution will be defined by the  internet of things. I believe that through the fourth industrial revolution we shall have  rapidly accelerating technological development, this means the enhancement of 3D printing, next-gen renewable power, CRISPR gene editing, nanotechnologies, digital banking, more intelligent artificial intelligence (AI). This can basically allow for things to become cheaper than ever, and can solve many of our problems. Through this we can end the concept of poverty as we know it, and can basically achieve post-scarcity. Everyone will have equality of opportunity, I believe that such system is a eutopia. This means an ideal well-being, but achieved through practical means. This is in contrast to equality of outcome, which is an utopic idea, proposed by ideologies ommie.png]] communism. Which is why it only works on theory, and why it has led to totalitarian dictatorships like in the Soviet Union. Through artificial intelligence, we can generally make better decisions on the economy, environment and other things. We can also create things like synthetic biology that will allow the Earth to re-heal itself. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will bring many good things to us and can make us live better than we ever have lived before. We can cure blindness and poor eyesight through cybernetic modifications and many other things.

Relations
Disclaimer: I am judging based on ideology itself not personality.

Friends
 - We're pretty similar politically, I can't really find anything that I could criticize you on, seriously I cannot find anything. You're a good example of me applied to the United States.

 - Pretty good ideology, we're both leftist ideologies and we supporting things like world federalism and space exploration. We don't really have areas of disagreement, outside of things like monarchism (me supporting a republic) and your socially conservative leanings, although you're not that bad. You belong in this category, ideologically.

 - Pretty good overall, I barely see any differences between my ideology and your ideology. We support pretty much the same things overall. If there's anything that is different between our ideologies is the fact that you do not really support a world federation, but its not too much of a difference. You belong here overall.

Frenemies
 - It's nice that you have libertarian tendencies overall, but I don't really like laissez-faire capitalism and your very religious tendencies (also objectivism is something I hate).

 - You're pretty authoritarian, which I don't really like, also I reject things like public-private partnerships and dirigisme, although, you have some redeeming things like your support for welfare and the recognition that the rise of fascism/bolshevism are a result of terrible economic conditions.
