'When Taken At The Flood' Meaning

'There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.'

This is a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and said by the character 'Brutus.'

Now I'm looking at this saying because of the nature of 'news' as we are getting it these days - we are not getting a rising tide, or a flood or any kind of ebb and flow, instead we are getting a 'standing wave.'

Pirate's Lane, New Orleans

In electronics particularly, since this is an area of modern human expertise and which knowledge (basically of physics) we apply to deliver us many practical functions - a standing wave will inevitably cause a change of state. A standing wave in capital creates entirely new forms of money.

And this is because 'money' is very decidedly concerned with 'fortune,' good or bad, much or little.

People are induced to expend energy and effort on account of their assessments of risk and reward - but, when there is no such requirement for astute assessment of anything, then society runs down in total amount of energy expended. The law of 'conservation of energy' is about efficiency in dynamic action, it is not about ceasing to use energy at all; when that happens things die.

Retreating from the maelstrom of current affairs, is an entirely wise thing to do, because the 'maelstrom' is nothing more than a standing wave of chaos - nothing is really happening, but it only seems that it is. None of the fundamental issues behind the problems are being resolved, and they won't be either. Andrew Weissmann, Robert Mueller, MI5/MI6, active shooters, 'live' streaming of 'death,' Brexit/the Eu experiment, all of these things, these identities associated with the events - are worthless to you.

But if governments and the media and administrative bureaucracies continually refuse to address reality, maybe it's time you did yourself acting on your own personal sense of responsibility to yourself. Brutus was trying to spread the blame and the responsibility around, yet he was party to murder. Modern governments and the media are no different. 

The actual reality, is something that, if you leave it up to governments and the media, you will only learn about six to ten years from now!

Things have already moved on from where these criminals are pretending to you, that 'it all still is at.'

Welcome. Come in.

You have to start to envisage what you think the world will be or might be like say, ten years from now - if I just spell it all out it would not have the same impact in your mind as if you thought it out yourself...

When you do this projection, than kick it back to now, and say to yourself 'this is what it is like right now.'

...So what will it really be like an actual ten years from now?
