The Invisible Hand: Coordination Without Communication

Common Sense Commentary:

For the last few years we have witnessed an extraordinary, global event which has the appearance of behind the scenes orchestration.  I speak of this world-wide, economic collapse... at virtually the same time .... followed by an equally unisonus stampede of nations, each to out-devalue it's currency, notch by notch below the others. It is the perfect storm, each nation singing in harmonious disharmony. It has a pattern but no pleasant purpose.

There is a similar, unexplainable, natural instinct, inborn in the animal world.  It is called "Mermarlation" or "Instantaneous Continuum".  You have seen flocks of birds, in the thousands, swoop and dart as a single thing... no signal or sign to do so.  It is as if they have one mind.  Schools of fish do the same thing, wheeling, flashing left, right, up and down in perfect unison, seemingly without touching each other.  It is a fantastic thing to see.  The "invisible hand" is there somewhere.

Two hundred years ago, Adam Smith postulated of "the invisible hand" that had an amazing, mysterious quality of "coordination without communication".  It could somehow direct individual enterprise in such a manner as to make this industry product, by competition, grow better and better in competitive harmony with other producers ... without contact or consultation. Coordination without Communication.

The idea of "Swarm Intelligence" is seen in the unconnective but collective behavior
which arises from among the many as a single cloud of intelligent progress ...moving forward.  This pattern originates in the minds, hearts and will of those created in the image and likeness of their Creator.  Coordination without Communication but by the unseen, invisible hand of God dealing singly with each for the good of the whole.

The open market of Free Enterprise will, if not harnessed, shackeled, and tampered with by the heresy of centralized, government control, discover the proper price and value of every product, material, food and service by the natural forces of supply and demand.  Government was instituted by God for one purpose, the protection of people one from another and defence of the nation from attackers so the people could invent, build, supply, work and worship freely. 

Free enterprise competition will level the playing field, set proper prices and supply the demand if "Social Planners" will get out of the way of business.  That is the Natural order of things.  It works as well as Mother Nature, single handedly keeping God's forests beautiful and healthy ... if usurpers, trashers, Nation Builders, and Social Planners will get out of the way.

No body harnesses up those free flying birds and bees or tells them what to do... except
the invisible hand of their  Creator.  The same is true of human beings.  They will build the nation, business, homes and churches naturally.  It is the invisible hand of God directing them.  And, yes, I know there are negatives, as in early America, but ten thousand times more successes than when Governments neutralize the God given natural order. Let the government do what God intended in Genesis 9:5-6, where He authorized civil societies to appoint Civil Law Officers to render justice and protect the people.  Let government do that full time job, which they are now failing to do because of their desire to control and tax the honest, law abiding citizens with intimidations and regulations.  Let them  cease  suffocating us with rules, ordinances, controls,  restrictions,  taxes and intimidation.   The invisible hand of God is not with Herod, Caesar or Pharaoh but with the people.  He also has an invisible fist for evil doers.

Market coordination is not motivated by government pseudo-perfectionism but by common human talent, intelligence, ambition, work ethic, need and honest competition to earn and keep customers.  That is the natural order of the invisible hand and the only system which consistently works out, long term.  Every other socially planned, centrally controled, counterfeit will fail in time and be laid to rest along side a long row of grave markers in memory of every other government controlled and Socialistic system inspired of the devil and devised by men.  The Invisible Hand is on the strong arm of our Creator.  God sent Moses to tell ole Pharaoh, "LET MY PEOPLE GO". Slavery is not the natural order.  It stifles instinctive initiative, born-in desire to build freely, and to be free.
