Crime Against Humanity: the Bill, 7

It could be said that, in view of the nature and of the spread in time and space of the infinite debt trap, the bill roughly amounts to: all the possessions of all – in the clear−headed, far−seeing and peremptory words of Thomas Jefferson – “the banks and corporations that will grow up around them”, and of all the puppeteers behind them and of all their puppets, plus all the corresponding well−being, safety, survival, opportunities, development, success, prosperity, happiness and serenity missed by the rest of us, plus the corresponding hardship, endangerment, succumbing, lost opportunities, lack of development, failure, misery, unhappiness and despair endured by the rest of us.

And it can be said that, as sure as arithmetic progressions are, sooner or later this bill will amount to everyone and everything. Unless we do something effective about it.

It is useful to make explicit and then confront here the concept and definition of “arbitrary”, an adjective for once deservedly promoted to noun. And then do the same with a fundamental discovery related to it.
An arbitrary element is something that has nothing to do with the circumstance it is in; there exists no actual reason in that circumstance at all why that arbitrary ought to be in it.
Just to be clear, wearing a woollen shirt on a hot summer beach, walking an elephant in a china shop, are but the self−evident ones because their consequences are immediately conspicuous; other less conspicuous and self−evident examples include things like superstitious gestures, debt moneys out of nothing and the infinite debt traps built on them, and in general many “everybody knows that…”.
And since an arbitrary element has no logical relationship with the circumstances, there is no reason for it to be there but someone’s intention: someone introduced it, deliberately, arbitrarily and forcibly. And the reasons why one does so are usually everything but rational and ethical.
