The Stock Market And Financial Markets Go Up, While The Wealth Of The World Goes Down

   People may feel individually wealthier when the stock market goes up, but the stock market is not a reflector of the real wealth of this world. The real wealth of this world is first and foremost in the health of its environment, along with political, economic, social and religious stability, and non nuclear proliferation. The environment is getting more degraded with tons of plastic and other non biodegradables pouring into the oceans daily, along with thousands of other deleterious events. Nuclear proliferation is increasing. Religious bigotry and fanaticism are increasing, causing increased political, economic and social instability. The world population is stripping the earth of its last bits of nature, making the world an even more degraded and unstable place.
     The stock market and financial markets are an easy way to remain divorced from reality and live in a fantasy that things are getting better when in fact they are not. Rising stock markets are a way of ensuring complacency and remaining delusional.
