Narrow corridor in democracy.



When you are the leader of the company. All that is needed is to remember that the leader represents stakeholders. At the national level, the leader represents the people. But then we must understand that the term "people" means different things. The problem is that benefit of a nation and its people might be different from what people want. The private company can kick their workers out. 

The state must take care of them until they get new work. But the state cannot kick people out. And even if the person ever pays taxes the state must take care of them. 

What if people want something, that is against the long-term benefit of the nation? The populists are the people who are promising short-term benefits. Things like refusing to pay back international loans can seem very nice things.

But the problem is this, who gives investments to a nation that will not pay back its loans? There is the possibility that the World Bank will not ask for those loans back. Then all other nations will want that they will get free money. And even in the case of the World Bank, there are limits on the money that this organization controls. Even the largest international organizations have limited resources. And the need for free resources and gifts is always without limits. 

The Narrow Corridor is a book that is telling about freedom and democracy. Democracy is like a narrow corridor where people must follow the laws or they are in trouble. The biggest threat to democratic institutions like freedom of speech and freedom to publish are people who misuse those rights. The paradox of democracy is that authoritarian organizations are protecting freedom.


But the worst threat to democracy is democracy itself. There are lots of nations in the world that are democratic. The power is in the hand of the majority.  But the majority is attacking the ethnic minorities.


Democracy is like a narrow corridor. If things like demonstrations are crushed by using a massive police force. That thing will drive the entire society to the path there is no return. When we think about a democratic government that cannot fulfill promises that thing causes demonstrations. But should the democratic government refuse to order new elections? 

Should it use police force in the case that it failed? Or otherways, how large-scale demonstrations should be needed, that the government should resign? There is always the possibility that the government says that there is only a couple of people on the streets. And the majority still supports its actions. 

In business life leaders of the groups are responsible only to the company's owners. In the private sector, the number of shares means who is a person, who controls the company. The directors of the companies operate between stakeholders and workers. 

The purpose of those directors is to act as a shield for the stakeholders. And director's mission is always to supervise the benefit of stakeholders. 


Groups and narrow corridor


We are always facing things that the leaders of the groups are making decisions. And everybody must follow those orders. The narrow corridor means that the henchmen have no freedom to do anything without following certain formulas. 

When we are putting it all on one card, that means we are putting everything into that project. When we are putting all our resources into some project or some choice, we have a very small possibility to take another course if something goes wrong. In economics, we can say that we have a narrow corridor. If something goes wrong we cannot take another route. So narrow corridor means that there is only one allowed way to act. 


Why do some people choose narrow corridors rather than wide corridors? 


The wide corridor means that the person who makes decisions is leaving the resources also for something else. The narrow corridor means that there is only one accepted way to act. If all resources are not put into supporting the goal. That means the profits would not be so high. In but same way the losses in the case of failure would be higher. 

One of the reasons why the controllers are not pulling back is that they must confess that project was not successful. So they want to put a little bit more resources into operation or project and then they hope that tomorrow that thing will turn successful. 

The narrow corridor means this. When a leader makes some kind of decision. That leader wants to make the thing. There is nobody who the leader must-hear. Advisors are advisors, but their pieces of advice are only advisory. And the leader must not follow them.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
