Economic crisis: who is to blame and what to do

Economic crisis: who is to blame and what to do
Николай Игнатьевич Конюхов

This book reveals the interconnection of the economic crisis and the cyclic process of the changes of the relations in the elite and the economically active population of such psychotypes as social motivator (all the attention is paid to the system of the interpersonal relationships) and the domain expert (all the attention is paid to the domain activity). The cyclical process of the change of the relations of such psychotypes is connected with the cycles of the solar activity and cycles of the economic development.

Introduction

Crisis of the modern society – financial, economic, spiritual and civilization – has its own reasons. All these crises are on Earth. But Cosmos actively impacts the Earth. The comparison of crises with the dynamics of planet motion shows that there is the coincidence which is not by chance. Gravitational-magnetic fields within the periods of resonances of the Sun and the main planets of solar system as well as the solar activity change the hormonal background of people and we start building the relationships between ourselves.

Both these factors in their comparison serve the favorable and unfavorable periods of development of our civilization: passionary and subpassionary periods. Their activity reveals cyclically the contradictions between the social motivators – persons who are successful in social sphere and communication and also domain experts – persons, who are successful in practical subject activity, – cyclically sharpen. Social motivators cyclically get power and submit domain experts, they start cutting off the most part of the cake of the social richness, and the society gradually loses its potential to the intensive development.

Of course the domain experts’ coming to power and the powers of Cosmos do not exhaust all the reasons of crises. We do not stand for expelling the traditional economic factors from the analysis – currency circulation, etc., though these factors submit to cosmic resonances. Our purpose is to enter the non-obvious system of determinants into the analysis methodology, which is connected with the fight not just between poor and rich, educated and non-educated, sated and starving, owners of property and those who have nothing, etc, but also between different psycho-types. The acute peak of this fight and alteration of psycho-types happen in accordance with cosmic cycles.

Resonances of the gravitational and magnet field of the celestial objects appear to be one of the most important factors that impact the development of the mankind. Economic crises are the consequence of the actions of people. And these crises begin more often when the Earth gets into the zone of the unfavorable affection of cosmic forces, so the aftermath of this fact is the alteration of quality of the economic active population. The completion of the system crises is connected with the leaving of these zones and with the alteration of the dominating psychological type that dominates in the economic elite. Practical masters of resonants come to rule the states and economy. They are able to sense the alteration of gravitational-magnetic fields and take measures in accordance with the economic decisions.

It is from book “Economic crisis: who is to blame and what to do”.

Chapter 1. Social motivators and domain experts as the stable psycho-types of people

Class struggle, the struggle of the rich and the poor, struggle between different cultures and nationalities appeared significantly later then the relationships between men and women and between those who developed the system of the social relationships and those who hunted and looked for food, survived by domain labour. By matriarchy the functions of the social regulations in tribes belonged to women. Later these functions were implemented by men, more often older in the generation because the management of others required social experience.

Gradually the function of the social regulation in the human society, the management function started to differ from the function of the simple labour. The ability for the domain labour gradually separated from the ability of the simple labour. It is connected with the differences between the abilities of people, with the differences in the processes that take place in our brain. But it could be unnoticeable for the people who surround us, because the management itself should be unnoticeable, and manipulation with people in own interests is effective when it is hidden, not obvious.

Psycho-physiological differences of domain experts and social motivators are also not unnoticeable both on the level of psychological specifics and on the psychophysiological processes. They look like if they were hidden from the eyes of the explorer. The division between the domain experts and the social motivators is the first social division of labour. Its influence on the progress of the human mankind has a great number of aspects. It affects also on the processes causing crisis both in social community and in the world as a whole.

1.1 Paleontology and the sources of the modern crisis

Already at the level of the ancient people the individuals appeared who were capable of self-organization, change of the structure of the social relationships. The appearance of such people was a great step forward to the way of the civilization development. Of course, among the ancient people the abilities to manage the social relationships were distributed not equally between the individuals. Like we now the ancient people were distinguished in accordance with their psycho-type, the type of their intellect. Those who were able to regulate the social relationships in a greater degree than others and to manage others could be conditionally called as social motivators. Those who were devoted to the labour work could be called domain experts.

The relationships between the domain experts who more often have higher IQ and social motivators who have more developed social and emotional intellect (they have higher EQ) also have different aspects. One of the aspects is that domain experts systematically, constantly lose to the social motivators on different levels of the historical development.

There are the interesting ideas of the evolutionist, paleo-neurologist and the doctor of the biological sciences, professor, and the head of the nerve system development labouratory of the Institute of the Human Morphology of the Russian Academy of Medical Science Sergey Vyacheslavovich Saveliev concerning this question. In his opinion the only advantage of human being over the other mammals is our intellect. Intellect developed with the development of the ability of a person to get food and create the means of labour.

Speech and communication emerged as the need to optimize their actions during the hunt and collective labour. However, it began to be used for fraud. It does not necessarily suggest some sort of domain activity and therefore it started the independent evolution. Speech is energetically favorable.

Anyone who could lie so that everyone believed them won in the struggle for females, for food, for the status in the pack, for dominance. Yet the development of speech has no direct connection with the increase in brain size. As it is known, microcephals have lesser brain than chimpanzees, but they speak well enough. According to S. Saveliev at the time of social selection, namely 10 million years ago, at the moment of the emergence of consciousness by primates they stood the process of fighting for females, food and dominance in the pack through social mechanisms. This led to the fact that while combining the individuals began to force out the objectionable from the pack. Such were not only the most aggressive. Such were also cleverer in domain activity, but less successful in the social one.

The averaged type in pack better surrendered to social management. Persons with the more developed domain intellect are more prone to individual activities. They are difficult to control socially, by surroundings, elders, leaders. And how can the leader in the pack allow the presence of those who are not inclined to obey him? If you let even one such character into the pack, then second, third, you can quickly lose power. Domain experts are always dangerous for those with advanced social intelligence. Therefore those who did not yield management on their part were expelled from the pack by the first opportunity.

The banished ones moved to the new places, adapted to the new environment, reproduced and again banished the asocial and cleverer individuals from their society. Those individuals were always banished who due to the highly-developed domain intellect were individualists and badly submitted to the social management. Thus, the cleverest and indestructible ones were banished which were clever enough to unite with the same ones and that was the danger for the “leaders” of the pack. The domain experts were always tried to be banished and they constantly moved looking for the places of the Earth worldwide.

S. Saveliev supposes that human brain was growing while human being had a place to migrate and until the socialization has become the main branch of the development of humanity. At once as the main problems of surviving acquired the social character (it was about 100 thousand years ago), the brain started to lose weight.

Here is the opinion of the professor S. Saveliev, recorded by Anna Natitnik – head of the editor of the "Harvard Business Review – Russia" See:Natitnik А. The society banishes the clever ones (interview) (http://hbr-russia.ru/issue/78/3109/). United (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B4_%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81) Press, May 2012.

“Millions and even more years ago the social structure of society thanks to the fiercest internal selection developed frontal lobe of the brain. In humans this area is huge: the rest of mammals have it much smaller relative to the whole brain. The formed frontal area was not designed to think, but to make an individual share food with a neighbour. No animal is able to share food, because food is a source of energy. And people who did not share food in a social group were simply eliminated”.

Brain was growing until there was a place for people to migrate and while they had to deal with only biological tasks. When humanity faced the social problems, the brain began to lose weight. This process began about 100 thousand years ago. About 30 thousand years ago that has led to the destruction of the Neanderthals. They were smarter, stronger than our ancestors, the Cro-Magnons; they creatively solved all the problems, they came up with tools, means of making fire, etc. But due to the fact that they lived in small populations, their social selection was less expressed. The Cro-Magnon benefited from large populations. As a result of the long-term negative social selection their groups were integrated well enough. Due to their population Cro-Magnons unity destroyed the Neanderthals. Against the mass of mediocrity even the strongest genius can not do anything. In the end, we left on this planet alone. As this story shows, for the socialization the large brain is not needed. Well socialized stupid individual is integrated into any community much better than any individualist. During the evolution the personal talents and characteristics were sacrificed for biological advantages: food, breeding, dominance. This is the price paid by humanity!”.

And further: “The negative social selection that started 10 million years ago acts till now. Not only are the asocial elements banished from the society, but also the cleverest ones. Look at the destinies of the great scientists, thinkers, philosophers – less of them had good life. It is explained through the fact that we keep on competing like monkeys. If there is a dominant person among us, he or she has to be immediately eliminated because this person threatens each individual personally. And because mediocrities prevail, any talent has to be whether banished or eliminated. That is why the excellent students are insulted, offended and treated badly at school, and it lasts for a lifetime. And who remains? The mediocrity. Nevertheless well socialized one”.

In its sense these ideas are about the fact that persons with domain intelligence were struck by persons with more developed social intelligence. Let us provide the data from S. Saveliev about the change of the volume of the skull of our ancestors (11, page 209).

As we can see about 70 thousand years ago the skull volume of our ancestors started decreasing. Let us provide the statements of the author on this matter.

“In sufficiently large groups of sapiens constant hard artificial selection for the "sociality" was taking place: reproductive benefits were received by the best adapted individuals to the existence of a group of individuals. The most socialized individuals had the reduced aggressiveness, the developed communicative and food tolerance to neighbors”.

In such conditions the primary surplus arising in brain volume was not popular, and the optimal combination of qualities was achieved in much smaller amounts. Probably a regular solution of super tasks necessary for basic survive has been replaced by the group training. In fact, there was an external method of storage and transmission of biologically important information, which has reduced the role of the individual abilities. This gradually reduced the average volume of the brain to 1330 cubic cm. Socialization and development of primary cultural traditions was not the stimulus, but the reason for the prosperity of individuals with a minimum of individual differences. The support of the existing forms of relationship and behavioral skills in a group provides benefits for individuals with mediocre abilities. Extreme individualization of behavior in the family, or the mixed flock group reduces the likelihood of reproductive success at a low dominance. In connection with this the level of socialization of group is inversely proportional to the realization of the abilities of the individuals. These phenomena are observed in modern societies. Individualized forms of behavior are not usually accepted by members of the society… These observations suggest that 50 thousand years ago socialization, development of cultural and hunting traditions contributed into the artificial selection of the less capable but more socialized individuals "[11, page 290-291].

If you take the labour tools of that period, arrange them in time, it can be clearly seen that a decrease in brain size and their improvement seems to be frozen. But what had been achieved was handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Public consciousness through the socialization remembered what ancestors made. The social motivators are able to maintain and transfer knowledge and experience from generation to generation. And we must agree with S. Saveliev: “The situation looks quite anecdotal. Very capable people with big brains create a complex and effective system of training and retention of knowledge for the entire population. Having taught the less capable relatives the lessons of survivals, they doom themselves to destruction. Humanity faces such situation now.” [11, page 292].

He continues: "In large but relatively closed populations, even with the obvious benefits, non-standard people are usually sacrificed in order to preserve the stability of relations. In this regard, the probability of survival and reproductive success especially in these individuals is always very low. But more socially adapted representatives of community have the opportunity to reproductive success that is much higher. There is no secret that social adaptation is often accompanied by significant intellectual limitations. These differences between individuals have become the hidden driving forces for the artificial selection". [11, page 294].

And at present time the relations between the domain experts and social motivators are the hidden force of the social and economic development. This force is hidden and powerful due to the misunderstanding of its sense, misunderstanding of its dependence from the definite system of determinants that have the property to accumulate and reveal its effect cumulatively.

Through the skulls of our ancestors, with the help of the comparison of their brain on different levels of evolution, through the comparison of the brain of monkey and human and through other methods the scientists revealed the parts of the brain that are responsible for socialization. These are the frontal areas of the brain. Along with the socialization these parts are responsible for the real-imaginative forecasting that was necessary for hunting.

Thus, there is the opinion of paleontologists that the relations between the domain experts and social motivators for thousands of years defined the main tendencies of development of our intellect, brain, our evolution. Those ancestors of people who walked not the way of the submission to circumstances of socialization, but developed their individual abilities just were extinct. The Neanderthals gave their place to Cro-Magnons.

There are facts such as the increasing of the frontal areas of the brain and decrease of the brain itself in the process of human evolution. But the mass of the female brain is always smaller than the male. These differences are not constant and depend on ethnic characteristics (see: Takahashi, Suzuki, 1961.). In addition, a large part of the evolution of the human brain was held in the period of matriarchy and it does not deny the thoughts expressed by S. Saveliev, but simply clarifies them.

Yes, women played the decisive role in the formation of a tribe and in the socialization process. They caught the slightest reaction of the child since its birth, thereby keeping him alive. Their biological function – the birth and procreation – gave them the undeniable advantages in understanding, in feeling of a human being and in the management of them not through force but through empathy, through the feeling of another person, through empathy with him or her. Woman gets used to the child, and she has the more developed ability to do this than a man. Therefore it is possible to suppose with a high degree of certainty that social motivators of that time were with the characteristics of empathic individuals.

Reducing of the weight of the brain took place also for the reason that human changed in two directions – in the direction of increasing of the frontal lobe (this is a purely male part of the brain, it is largely responsible for the success of the hunt), and towards the development of empathy, feelings of other people, for example in the direction of copying the features of the female brain. In their evolution our ancestors took the best both from men and from women. Of course, in different nations the ratio of male and female in the brain was formed in different ways. Each ethnic group has its own weight ratio of male and female brain. But in all ethnic groups the dependence can be traced: the front part of the brain is the male, and the rear is the female.

Men have more hippocampus, more nerve cells. Women have less hippocampus, and the nerve cells are less, but they are best used

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/4/womens-brains-smaller-mens-used-more-efficiently/ (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/4/womens-brains-smaller-mens-used-more-efficiently/)

Senses are more developed in women. Their skin has ten times more receptors than male skin. During certain times of the menstrual cycle the odor sense of women is hundred times more sensitive than of men. She perceives pheromones of other people better through the special body organ (Vomero Nasal Organ). Therefore, women better guess sexual desire and emotions experienced by human – fear, anger, sadness …, they have the better visual memory.

Men adapted better to the hunting and moving to greater distances. They had to silently follow the prey, even for more than one day. But then they had to seek their cave again: alone or with their relatives. According to some data, the pre-historical person met only about 150 persons. The brain of the woman is good for the growing and learning of children, and it supposes the verbal interconnection in the relatively limited space. At the biological level a man was programmed for competition and a woman – for cooperation (see: Serge Ginger and others).

Men are often more kinesthetic than women, namely they perceive the world through movement and action. Women are more auditory than men. Women speak without thinking, and men act without thinking. Woman listens by two hemispheres of the brain normally, and men – by one. Women are more talkative. The talk of others is perceived through sighs, eye movements, head, change of posture, etc.

Woman remembers more details than a man for whom the remembering of the important is the summarizing thought. At the age of 9 years old the girls outperform boys for two years in the development of verbal intelligence. Having more developed verbal intelligence, women are more involved in verbal interaction and communication. Men are more capable of action, competition. All these things are reflected in the structure of the brain of men and women.

Here is the most sufficient opinion concerning this matter: “The strong differences between male and female brain at the level of organization of some parts of the cortex of the forebrain were revealed. Changing of the lobes of the brain has shown that by men the front half of the brain is more voluminous, and by women – the rear." (Buchstab, 1884). "The part (insula cerebri) of the male brain is significantly different from the part of the female brain. In the male brain the central sulcus part (sulcus centralis insulae) is well expressed in 80% of cases, and in the female brain it is expressed in 65%. Long groove (sulcus longus insulae) in men is found only in 23%, and in women in 35% of cases”. [13]

Previously, social motivators had the feminine origin; they had empathy, female sensitivity. Let us call them social motivators with the features of empathy. Social motivators with traits of empathy feel other people and empathy came into force in accordance with their interests. This allowed the tribes to maintain up to 200 – 300 people, where the head of the tribe was a woman-mother, sometimes her brother. Matriarchy in force of the empathetic property of women was not the absolute power of the latter. It was a harmony of interests of everyone supported by women. And for the sake of everyone, for the most part they agreed to cast out the tribe of those who shook the great power of bringing people together. This force was beneficial psychologically and economically, since it gave the opportunity to increase the social division of labour – the most important factor of the productivity growth in the community. It was woman-like wisely, but the most capable and the most antisocial members of the tribe sometimes suffered.

Yes, it is the latent force of human development. It is hidden behind the relationship of struggle and cooperation between the various psycho-types of people – men and women, social motivators and domain experts. Later it became also the relationship of struggle and cooperation between other psycho-types: extroverts and introverts and others. The further the society went in its development, the greater was the typological diversity inherent to it, the greater role in its development was played by the relationship between the different psychological types. But it is the hidden motive force of social development.

More and more different psycho-types appear with the growth of the social division of labour. The social motivators with the empathic features were changed by the social motivators without the expressed empathy; they were more cunning, more egoistic social motivators with other relative features of a person, which are not good from the social point of view. The women were more often replaced by men.

Social motivators with traits of empathy played a positive role in history. They still perform important tasks in society, rallying it, reaching a balance of interests of different social groups of people of different psychological types. Over time, especially with the development of language, with the advent of the possibility of semantic deception, there was the increasing number of social motivators who use their skills for personal, selfish interests.

The relationship between social motivators and specific domain experts are important, but it is the latent power of historical development. This force acts nowadays. There are studies of historians and psycho-physiologists referring to this matter.
