QUANDEROCRACY The power of wasting stuff just because

Let me introduce this neologism, pre-coined by and thanks to VICE: QUANDEROCRACY

The power of capricious emotional decisions "just because I say so". The power of "I want it, now... When? now!". The easy-wallet-power complex, or syndrome if you prefer. Which is often overlapped and misidentified as an expression of freedom or pseudo-spiritual liberation. It's a pretend group-hug -without actually behaving and being a group, and without really doing any hugging at all. You see? Imagine a person that's going through a shopping-spree-on-steroids phase. This gold-rush seems tolerable and almost passes unnoticed while gold's available. It can take-off towards exponential proportions when it's a President or a CEO with the blank-checks machine at hand. It can really become a collective unbearable load when there's no more gold to rush towards to. At its core, the egotistic motto is maneuvered as an unilateral altruistic purpose to outsmart everyone: "I do if for you", for the children, for the company, for the country, for civilization, for the world, for G-d. Bottom-line, the modus operandi is this: you should, actually must, thank me for doing what I want whenever I want at whatever cost I need as long as I please and reaching whatever result I value favorable... for you. Thanks VICE for the initial term. I would like to present QUANDEROCRACY as a neologism to explain a particular mindset and work-set spread allover. In companies, communities and families, individuals are prone to "waste (something, especially money or time) in a reckless and foolish manner", which leads to "allow (an opportunity) to pass or be lost". This mindset is highly contagious and mutates fast to adapt to local "je ne sais quoi" ways of building consent and homeostasis. They can quickly become a phenomena of epidemic proportions. It's the voracious approach to life that can be seen not only in populist governments but in Black Fridays and in Housing-market bubbles, in high-on-steroid athletes and on-top-of-the-game party or business people at any point in time. This mindset seams an unstoppable force of history. Is it? Besides real spirituality, which is not for sale or rent, the only counter-balances to QUANDEROCRACY I could come up with, are a two special kinds of people: sharp accountants with a "fear-to-loose-my-job deficit syndrome" and real accounting and financing skills , and ethnographic-based journalism with "look&listen&learn&teach" as a chronic incurable disease. These are the 3 approaches to life that I can think of (at least now) as being "counter-easy-wallet-power" stances. They share a simple common ground. Their quest for truth-being done and told, and for consistency. In other words, (1) spiritual, (2) accounting, and (3) contemporary ethnographers (aka journalists), are special people because they have a highly developed "scent" and can easily, intuitively, on a blink recognize BS (ie. blind spots, brewed speeches, broken spirits, blunt slander, bestial shamelessness, bullying scams, bursting shredfulness, bad storming, etc.).
