Based on the trendsetter's opinions based on the surfacing rumors of people who understand even less than themselves and seek their voice in them

It is hoped that

bullet

in times of downturn, like ours, that people begin to truly question how much value they are  adding in the established mentality not just to real customers, but to the lifefulfillment of those involved... 

bullet

when things go tough and the tough get going, it is assumed that people learn again to adopt good practices from others and are open to being questioned. 

bulletthen in fact the trend points to more rationalization, outsourcing of people and reengineering everything and everybody to converge into one world (the globalizing one) under one guiding principle (the market) in one (multicultural, chaotic) mentality...

The result of the mainstream then is a continuation of mere quantitative growth with the resulting increase of entropy, global disorder! The mental equivalent of those who profit from it is even more suppressive arrogance which in turn narrows people's mind by the thus to be worked out result of "organizational learning"; the so-called pre-trans-trap: Downturns bond people, ultimately in death such as on the battlefields and in the graveyards; where they are all equal and at peace

In families in which there are no difficulties and everything is seemingly available, children do not develop the values of giving, caring, reaching out, let alone belief, hope and adopting a loving, lifefulfilling mentality; they  become mere consumers and thus entropy increasers

And this is how the vicious circles is closed and becomes self-destructive:

bulletTrendsetters do look for what points to a trend and what no longer resonates in people.
bulletThey focus especially what they cannot make people put their hands on in their described ways.
bulletFearful to keep their positions, they especially try to suppress such qualities in themselves when it endangers their own mindset, and then through their position power in fearful others. 
bulletWhere that is %-successful, they then degrade the collective mental operating systems by deleting all references to such qualities, e.g. words that were ones pointing to such qualities get corrupted into a mere virtual reality or disappear altogether, or worse are twisted to suit the trend they favor...
bulletTo cope with the remaining unrest, they invent stories and turn them into myths such as the one about "evolution", "collective archetypes", "unconsciousness", "destiny", the "invisible hand" of the market, the "share holder value" - all to favor the share from all the other stake holders such as the future, nature, in short, YOU in your lifefulfillment...

In the USA of 2001, the world's trend leading power, less than 25% of the children are raised in traditional, marriage based families. President George W. Bush is restructuring the military, increasing energy production and thereby pollution significantly. Despite, even because of his projected missile defense system, the insecurity increases world wide. Most people now know that more of the same will not improve things, let alone people

The trend is to degenerate the human brain into a mere social interface compatible with the emerging real time world wide webs...the trendsetters and the 800 future leaders all already conditioned that way!
