RE: Perpetual Violence Is Expensive
Indeed, the very few societies in the past (overrun now by "civilization") that have had abundance, that did not want for food, clothing, shelter, have all been peaceful, loving, creative, and motivated to solve problems. Money creates artificial scarcity, as well as motive to plan obsolescence for profit (leading to the vast bulk of waste on Our planet), empowers Some over Others (promoting psychopaths, who will do ANYTHING to get and keep that power), allows for paying toadies (strong arms and armies) to bribe, set up blackmail scenarios, threaten, ruin, and kill to Their (the psychopaths') agendas.
Money is a VERY dangerous and antiquated tool.
We do have technology now that We never had before that would eliminate the need to account for Human energy added (and We clearly see We have excess Human energy in the unemployment that abounds). 80-90% of "jobs" out there now have nothing to do with creating better here, but to do with moving the bulk of OUR planet's wealth to VERY Few (psychopaths). From cashiers, sales, accounting, collections, advertising, marketing, and Wall Street to banking itself, none of these jobs add value to Human society.
Maybe We would best work on eliminating money on OUR planet (stolen from Us by the psychopaths in control through "trusts" — Unum Sanctum and the Cestui Que Vie "trusts" — and deceit).
Please see My playlist on YouTube for how:
As I said above, blaming oppression on the mere CONCEPT of a convenient medium of exchange is ridiculous. And since almost every group will find a way to trade more efficiently, good luck trying to stamp it out.
But Larkin, money gives Some power over Others. And We CAN eliminate the need for it on Our planet. Sure, People might trade in circumstances, but with free energy (making accounting for Ours pointless, like accounting for grains of sand), robots (to do necessary work no One WANTS to do), and the web to communicate problems on and work towards Ethical solutions, We can remove the hindrance of money between the vast abundance of Our planet and Us, allowing ALL to live as richly as Each might CHOOSE.
Now THAT's freedom!
When do I get the free energy machine delivered for free?
Peace
That will depend on when People do what They can to bring FE out from secrecy... I know it is hidden and has been since at least the 1950's.
