The meaning of the USA 2020 elections in Ecuador and the world

 COMPLEMENTARY ANALYSIS, The pandemic has produced more deaths and sicknesses than we can remember, we have invented treatments that are not very effective yet, vaccines are being tested, biotechnology has become the star science, as are engineering or cybernetics, The internet changed our way of learning, exchanging and communicating. The enormous production of information and knowledge made its concentration impossible, we live a society of renewal, distribution, free access to knowledge and information that was never seen.

Quarantine and social distancing changed the order of the vision of development, that is, the use of human inventions, from language to the internet. which led to new needs, new jobs, new forms of production, markets, or ways of relating to each other, we have altered time and distance, which put ideologies, religions, and laws in the pillory.

There is a new mobility and human communication, in which speed turned borders into obstacles, into unmanageable problems. Borders were a reason for war until today, but we are living and seeing the thousands of new ways of crossing them, this has put laws and governments in conflict, with other countries, but also with human beings that form waves or migratory waves increasingly difficult to stop and this is today a transcendent phenomenon.

Similarly, work is no longer a possibility created by cities and it is now possible to work from anywhere, learn from anywhere, transport or travel any distance. This phenomenon already torments the United States, Europe, Australia, America, Asia or Africa. For 5 centuries, Latin America has gone from being an immigration attraction, to being an irrepressible pole of emigration,

The biggest problem with the new human mobility is that countries that accept migrants find themselves in the dilemma of being governed by immigrants, as is the case in some states of the United States, which are faced with the reality that immigrants put presidents, which may mean the end of the current electoral system, as a mechanism to interrupt this process.

The human work that is today the hook to win votes in the world, faces the fact that it can be easily replaced, first by migrants and then by machines, this is because in the world illiteracy is disappearing and decreasing illiteracy in the world reduces the possibilities of work for the inhabitants of developed countries.

But mechanization, automation and the humanization of machines are upsetting politics and education, which has been the mechanism how governments manufacture docile masses, but these masses that were previously unruly because they were ignorant and are now unruly because they are educated, a problem. much more serious than having illiterate populations. When they have illiterate populations, the fundamental decisions that affect them are made by a ruler, a party or a religion, but when you have educated populations, the decisions that affect them are made by each and they can question the established order instead of accepting it.

In the United States elections that will be in 10 days, the possibility of totally changing the technology is discussed, and with it the current order, this is called decarbonizing and using environmentally friendly technologies. Changing the way of working, producing and consuming determines another vision of development and the passage of another order in all aspects, which allows the use of these advances, and this for a country like Ecuador can be a shock, as the decade has meant. of Rafael Correa, in which towns such as Cabo San Francisco had in less than a year, after the earthquake of April 16, 2016, permanent electricity, internet, asphalt road, drinking water in all houses, canalization, cellular and fixed telephony , satellite television, millennium school, modernized dispensaries of the Ministry of Health and Rural Social Security, nurseries, UPC, or community police with patrol, 911, early warning system, bridge to the Muisne cantonal head.

The mere arrival of 5G technology, and of new forms of accommodation or transportation in cars already shocks places that were isolated villages of fishermen, now fishermen use sonars and global positioning systems, peasants chainsaws, pesticides, cloned seeds.

Faced with this reality, the candidates, who are generally individuals without ties to nature, the poorest populations, or eco-cultural changes, who live in a bubble called universities, offices, houses, cars, where reality is the other. next to a screen, a window or a book, his campaign proposals are like always little birds in the air, on their way to the garbage can.
