In the early 2040's an ex-Soviet Arktika class icebreaker was recommissioned to act as an experiment in global finance at 88.7 degrees latitude - the heart of the arctic sea ....
I cannot understand how it could possibly circumnavigate the world in 24 hours. Does it mean that it circumnavigates a curtain portion of the world (like around the north pole) allowing it to stay in contact, or it can actually go that fast around the world? Could be kind of difficult if there is ice in the way like in the photo.
I think as soon as there was any known risk of mutation, the test (no matter how successful) would be stopped. That is based on societies actions in the world today, where if anything is slightly dangerous, it should be shunned or occupational health and safety gets stamped all over it, meaning that processes become sooooo much more complex than they need to be. Saying that however, there has always been an idea in movies where society turns into some animal like perverted being. Could we actually turn out like this?
It is very noticeable that in society today everyone seems to be getting more and more frightened of speaking their thoughts or doing anything that comes even close to being politically incorrect. Traditions that have been long standing like Santa saying 'ho ho ho' at Christmas time, is apparently offensive now. But could this eventually crack and society goes crazy? Where peoples lives are no longer valued so highly, but turn into a form of entertainment for the rest of society. If the world turned out like this, the safety of the people on board that ship would not matter to anyone else, as long as the trading market and all to do with it is running smoothly.
the growth of a uniquely North Korean economic solution in the broadcast of its mass games and the legitimisation of a highly competitive, individualistic way of life...
If North Korea starts saving our economy, you know we are in trouble. With such a private and self righteous country in power and the rest of the world in their pockets, what happens? Does North Korea start trying to influence the way other countries work? Do they start invading other countries to spread their ideas further?
If we legitimize a highly competitive, individualistic way of life we will do just what I said before. Competitions will start to grow wilder and in new fields that we would have never considered in today's society. Those ideas (the ones that are currently in the movies and are just way too crazy to ever happen) become reality and peoples lives become an entertainment. Prisoners in jail's will be forced to compete with each other for the entertainment of the public, and this sport becomes an extra money earner and a way to add to the economy even more.
The sheer volume of trade made possible by the continuous, rapid and deregulated system of the Arktika’s movements and its elite traders invalidated economic theories of zero-sum growth in the eyes of the Equestrian Councils and business leaders - encouraging decades of power shifts throughout the financially developed world...
So a stronger overall economy, yet no one economy can hold all the power for very long. That seems like a more viable system to me. It allows more countries to be super economies rather than just the u.s. Saying that however, in the near future we will possibly have one of these shifts where the power will change to china. I think it could be better off overall if more countries had the power. It would probably lead to less overall poverty, and could lead to the rising of some third world countries like Africa. All they need is the initial boost and the removal of the vast amounts of corruption in their countries.
This is a very 'out there' scenario. Whilst some of these ideas could very well be possible and logical for the trading systems, I'm quite sure any effects on human behaviour (no matter how much they increased profitability) would become illegal. I'm sure if there was such a practice that could improve trading, it would be studied and improved so that traders could have a normal life whilst working, with no physical or mental side effects.
