It was nice to see you. You have promised to have a glass of wine with me after 5 years from our last meeting in 2008. It is also the time when the illusion about our economic activities started to crash against reality of life.

I am sad when I think about the state of our cooperation 4 years ago. I tried to warn you about many traps which were prepared for you by “your best friends” – especially your one person from you country whom you were in some atavistic way compelled to trust.  I saw how a few provided false description of the problems, suggested false solution and convinced you they will help you to deliver a solution.  The majority of staff participating in the illusion (maintained illusion) and gaining merits for themselves in an illusory world. Others, if they expressed reservation were “punished” and marginalized. As result instead of working on something which would function in the reality we were constructing an illusory system. The mechanisms are in its extreme implementation visible in all dictatorships.

The difference between you and the other bosses was that you really believed in the illusion. The other bosses were also maintaining an illusory level but they were not convinced that this was the absolute reality and did not insist on the “constructed” perception.  When I was able to say that what they think goes in the false direction they did not make too much effort to reconcile the illusory plan with what is going in the reality. The unspoken message “I will not see that you are not following my grandiose plans long as you do not criticize the big plan and do not explicitly tell that you are not following the plan. As result of this consensus on “pretending” the things in the reality were maintained at least operational; the “customers” were at peace.  The customers did not believe that what was promised will be delivered and qualified it as a “show” of bosses. The documentation was false and everybody new that it was false and to be used to “show” but not to be “navigated” after. In the current political life of the Europe you can see plenty of examples how this principle works.  What is the European Parliament deciding? Who is approving agreements and why are the agreements just illuions?

You have accused me that I have not made a proper effort to maintain a proper documentation in the past. The situation in the past was like with you, the documentation “map” created did not correspond to the reality in the same way you have left several layers of descriptions which were of now value to navigate in the reality and no guidance for a problem solution.   Within this description of the illusory world neither effective action nor solution was possible.

Why I could see it. Here are some reasons; I studied social anthropology at the doctorial level. I started to do my doctoral studies in “ethnic relations in Bosnia-Herzegovina”. At university studied mostly two subjects simultaneously so I had several degrees in various subjects and could work where I found it personally rewarding. As my father made carrier using ego and power so I promised myself eliminate or rather take corrective measures to keep on course as defined by the intellect.  

 It seems you have drifted heavily by the force of the emotional needs. I have always tried to be conscious what are my emotional needs and not project them into area where they can’t be satisfied. This gave me personal freedom but my motives were never understood. In order not to mix other motives I was always rely on various ways to have insight into my soul. I always had some kind of personal couch with the elements of therapeutic analysis and insight.  

Clear that I have seen most of the problems ahead, the social construct, manufactured consensus etc.  One does not need much insight to see similarity within the last 5 years of our management of the economic crisis. We have and illusory picture of the Europe,  illusory descriptions of problems , fooling customers (EU citizens), creating rules and letting  the key players not to follow them,  promoting an economic theory of the responsibility of each actor  for the economic activities. Round 2008 the same actors broke the rules of the economic theory they were preaching asking society to pay for their mistakes.
