YAN AYRTON's solo piano : The signs of western decadence the rampant , interminable ambitious speculation in doubtful bonds A spectrum mirage to the end. and the chaos .
What we know about the global financial crisis is that we don't know very much. Paul A. Samuelson
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable. Seneca
On the heels of tumbling shares and dire warnings from the U.S. president, as well as business and government officials across the globe, the British prime minister says,
"The world economy is facing its greatest risk in decades."
To halt the slide, he calls for a global response to prevent the crisis from spiraling out of control.
The magnitude of the facts was staggering, but even more extraordinary was that it happened so quickly, and that it happened virtually.
If this is the first financial crisis of the Internet age—a crisis triggered by vastly complex quantitative models on the one hand, and global flows of capital facilitated by electronic trading systems on the other, then it is also shaping up as the delicate and complex solution by means also the Internet age.
I believe the ending of poverty is the cultural assignment of our time. Keep beating the drum, keep spreading the message, keep laughing and have a good time. Ossie Davis (1917-2005)
On the contrary , I Yan Ayrton see that the poverty rises fast and terrible .
People believe they have little to lose, theyre eager to hang those they believe responsible for their problems, and theyll listen to radical or violent proposals.
Were now just entering what will likely be the worst economic trough since the Industrial Revolution.
A rioter is typically an angry person looking for vengeance because he blames someone else for his problem. So far, rioters seem to be directing their attention at governments.
Reasonable target, of course, but they dont have the rationale quite right. Theyre not angry because governments inflated the currency, promoted fractional reserve banking, and nurtured all the cockamamie socialist programs that caused this crisis. Not at all; they rather liked all that.
Theyre angry only because their governments havent adequately protected them from the consequences of what they did.
So as conditions worsen, we can expect governments worldwide
to pull out absolutely all the stops to show theyre doing something.
And round up scapegoats to satisfy the mob and divert anger from themselves.
I sadly expect civil unrest to spread everywhere, simply because the depression will spread everywhere. It will be worst in places that have been most overextended, most debt leveraged, most urban, and have the largest numbers of unemployed workers -- the U.S. Latin America, Europe, Asia and dramaticaly in Africa .
We are walking in direction the next huge afliction : the dollar colapse .YAN AYRTON
"All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our timesare difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with courage." - Bobby Kennedy
Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals. Buddha ( Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism,( 563-483 B.C.)
Ambition is the last refuge of failure. Oscar Wilde (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900 )
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson ( American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826)
Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things. Albert Einstein ( German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955 )
When ambition ends, happiness begins. Thomas Merton (American and Trappist Monk from Our Lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky, 1915-1968)
New York... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation. Roland Barthes ( French Critic, (1915--1980)

Wow, I'd love to listen to this again but with your ears ^^
Maybe I should just buy myself a piano and become a genious pianist myself.
Maybe the signs of western decadence are that everything is so absurd and people are so despaird messed up and confused they try to to find genius in the most horrible nonsensical rubbish.

Yan Ayrton a true young genius in every field of Economics, History,Politics,Social Science and Music.
He isn't in the ONU, EEC or U.S. Govt because he is over-qualified
Well this is a complete and well thought out analysis and exceptional advice.
Social scientists, politicians, sociologists and philosophers, all of them would have to address to him a standing ovation.
A new economic cicle and circle of chaos as Yan Ayrton meticulously foresaw in his essay will irrupt tragically
