So, I have started writing this and in time I will re-edit all things I have written. This is because, nothing is set in stone, things change and we can change thing for the better – but also, everything just blurted out quickly and I just wrote down or thought I would write down my opinions on certain factors of trade. The problem with this is or the problem I feel this has is it doesn’t seem to connect to anything in particular.

Was this my problem or is this generally a problem with the media?

In my previous post, I talked about the problems with language or the problems with language in a particular context. That context could be science, religion, industry, football clubs – anything. They are constructed to self preserve a particular movement. At this point I can jump the gun on what I am saying.

The language of crisis, preserves the crisis. So you have to replace the language of crisis, the language people use during a crisis to stop it from being a crisis. There is no point having a crisis because a crisis is a problem.

Now I don’t stop there. What do you change it with? Do we have something to replace it with? Remarkably, we do. We replace it with something that doesn’t cause harm to anybody.

One thing I find interesting about the world is, we have the technology to keep people warm and sheltered and fed. We have it so well formed that we can keep over 7 billion people functioning perfectly. The things that get in the way are policy and rules and regulations. I said in a previous blog post, that policy doesn’t reach the vulnerable – but it does, and so I do wonder why I wrote that, until I realised. I was wanting to say, policy does not benefit the vulnerable.

It doesn’t, does it, usually. What if we lived in a world where policy does help the vulnerable. Let’s remove the vulnerable and say, policy helps vulnerabilities to stop being vulnerabilities. If trade has vulnerabilities, the trade remains vulnerable for the most vulnerable – for everybody.

Now I can go completely full circle on this and illustrate how, the language of crisis, can remain about crisis but it is about alleviating crisis by aiding the removal of vulnerabilities.

One thiing I didn’t comment on was why is language of a context self preserving. Well I will cover this in a later post about protecting the boundaries of groups. It gives people something to belong in and with that, is the question of what we are trying to protect.
