constructs. It is the unraveling of an exclusionary system of ideas that will topple capitalism. Capitalism, with its fast/slow, right/wrong ideology represents a hopelessly inadequate either/or approach to the environment. Piles, with their multi-directional growth, inclusiveness of composition and indeterminate fluctuations represent the far more enlightened both/and approach to the environment.

  All it takes to change the way the world economy operates is to change the way its participants conceptualize the world economy. Pointlessly random migration of wasted piles represents a conceptual deviation from the manner in which the world economy operates. Simply move to change – it's the easiest thing you can do. In the following chapters we will detail several classifications of piles and ways in which they can be moved. We will also examine incidents and examples of pile-based thinking as opposed to stack-based thinking.

  Some people have been heard to say that you can't move a mountain. Our exact thesis is that you can and must move mountains. The defeat of global capitalism may appear to be a task on par with mountain migration, and perhaps it is. Many sample audiences would love to play a part in the construction of a new economic system, but they are paralyzed by the scale of the current model. Well, to paraphrase a common response to this nihilistic logic, “start small.” The mountain is just another form of the pile. If you can move ten-thousand small piles over your lifetime, you've moved yourself a mountain's worth of pile, my friend.
