The Unpleasant Realization Of Spending Billions Of Dollars In A Belief System
Let's brace ourselves for another jaw-dropping-eye-opener!
What do you think would happen if these $5TN in hidden costs were added to our yearly income tax sheet? But wait, and what about the unprecedented pollution by plastic and fast fashion industry disseminating its unrecyclable fabrics throughout the world? How about adding another 10 trillions of dollars unfactored into prices? And while we are at it, why not adding several trillions of dollars in environmental destruction caused by overfishing, the factory farms and our e-waste due to obsolescence taking over the market... etc, etc.
Let's get real now for one minute: where are corporate profits amid all that? That's a multi-billion dollar question because they simply do not exist if we subtract all those unfactored costs from their yearly earnings. So one has to wonder who is really being had: the customers pilling on debt ever more, or shareholders blindly believing corporations' quarterly earning reports?
So yes, Bruce Lipton is absolutely correct when stating that we spend billions of dollars in a belief system that does not work. We have spent ourselves into oblivion and some kind of reckoning awaits us down the road. No if but when. Though we can also circumvent the consequence of it, if we could just start changing our perceptions about the world and humanity's purpose.
The choice is up to us, clearly! Amazon planning to launch up to 3,000 cashierless stores by 2021 speaks volume about what the meritocrats have for us in the store: tracking all our spending and more social engineering by Google's Selfish Ledger (see blog and scroll down).
Yes, we have to realize that monetarism cannot work without slave wages and consumers piling on debts in the first place. The middle-class exists as a "body" to re-funnel all the money back to the top, along with stolen profits from human sweat and ripping apart Nature. Otherwise the middle-class simply crumbles down. And further, based on this, the top 10% (the 1% and their very close pals) wealth appears as a complete illusion.
So the perception that must change is that any top down is not a worthy model at all, there is nothing in its favor to even defend anything it claims to stand for. Believing in a top down model is darwinism above all: saying those who win, the fittest, have better genes, they thus have the right to rule.
Well, Earth Custodians beg to differ: that are those who understand the foolishness of the world and the mess we are in that are going to survive. Those who understand that monetarism (any system using money, they are all the same) is done... simply done!
This Is How Powerful Your Thoughts Are | Most People Don't Know This - Bruce Lipton
TRANSCRIPT SEGMENT.... when you invest so much money in a belief system , and that the belief system isn't really right, you try to hold on as much as you can because you spent billions of dollars in this belief, you don't want just change it. So it is a big struggle but more and more people are becoming aware of it. If you believe that genes control your life, you are victim of your heredity... epigenetics means that we can change our perceptions of the environment and control our genes.
IMF Estimates Trillions in Hidden Fossil-Fuel Costs (2015)
Consumers should be paying a whopping $5 trillion more a year for their energy to cover the hidden health and environmental costs of fossil fuel use (pollution from coal, oil and natural gas) (, the International Monetary Fund said Monday in a new report..........These estimates are shocking," said Vitor Gaspar, head of the IMF's fiscal affairs, whose department produced the report. "They correspond to one of the largest negative externalities ever estimated," he said, referring to costs that aren't factored into prices... .. Based on new data from the World Health Organization, the fund estimates those "post-tax subsidies" are worth $5.3 trillion this year alone.... https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/imf-estimates-trillions-in-hidden-fossil-fuel-costs

STOPAnd what if we add the cost of a trillion secret pink unicorns to Steemit costs? Huh? What would happen then?
Straight down the drain it would go! Not even a fine how do you do!
Then where would all your vote bots be? NO WHERE, that's where!
How to fix this? Get rid of pink unicorns, obviously!
I prefer living in reality where costs are discovered by price. The prices of things you sell in your business are added up. Then you add up all the costs of the things you use in your business. Then subtract the costs from your sales, and hey presto!, you find out if you are profitable. If you don't count up the costs properly, you end up selling your products too cheaply and quickly find yourself out of money and business.
pink unicorns do not exist on earth but money does... a childlike reasoning. Monetarism does not work... every day I post about it, yet you look the other way and even condone slave wages to make your theory go round
Dystopian “Meat Surplus”: 2.5 billions of Pounds of Meat Are Piling Up in Warehouses
http://www.earthcustodians.net/blog/2018/08/06/2-5-billions-of-pounds-of-meat-are-piling-up-in-warehouses/
You are a corporate apologist, the entire planet is a giant MARKET riddled with corruption because of profit seeking... funny also how you avoid commenting on all the unfactored costs caused by corporate destruction... this blog is for people who dare look at the real state of the world, not those like you endorsing masters and slaves conundrum as an inescapable norm. You
do no write but troll.
what you do not get is that I would post even if NOT getting any rewards. I have a site and a blog that have been out there for 2 years already and supported by my passion to spread the word alone.
Money is an awesome tool. People use it every day. You use it every day. You know it is a great tool, because you use it every day.
If you didn't care about money, you would drop the autobot hashtag and you would demonetize your posts. This is obvious proof that you care about money because you can choose to not accept it and act according to your supposed principles. But you don't, which makes all of this just a really funny hypocrisy.
address the IMF unfactored cost report/environmental threat and the 2 billions of pounds meat surplus...more absolute evidence that the market efficiency theory is bunk... For more than one year you have been trolling, arguing that money is awesome and that I am an hypocrite in spite of the FACTS I am posting... You and I do not need to agree on a money-free system solution but that you NEVER address any of the FACTS is the evidence that you are socially engineered ... or/and a corporate apologist.
But since you cannot dispute any FACTS, now you go after steemit bots. Only real steemit users increase the upvote rewards.
Do something constructive instead and try to come up with a pro-money solution that will prevent corporations from taking over then and the wealthy from generating a poor class on purpose, because they are committing a crime against humanity and Nature. As long as you do not SEE that, criticizing any voluntaryist concept IS POINTLESS.
I am not disputing the fact that you use money everyday because you know that money is an awesome tool. You use money constantly. You lust after money in your greedy little heart. The only thing you actually do is try to get people to give you their money voluntarily. You have openly admitted that you will use any money you manage to gather to advertise your website, hoping this will somehow increase your income.
Your constant reposting of the same shit over and over again is your pathetic attempt to socially engineer the world. You think by posting it over and over again something will happen. The only thing that happens is about 100 AI bots auto upvote your information wars hashtag.
I have an AI steemit bot. I could enter your channel name and it will automatically upvote any story you post. I don't have to look at them, I don't even have to pay attention to you at all...
You use AI bots to earn yourself some money. Each user that upvotes your crap is using a program that scrapes the steemit blockchain for the informationwars hashtag. When the AI bot finds a post with that hashtag, it automatically upvotes the post. The real person running the bot does nothing, he doesn't read your drivel or even look at Steemit at all.
This is what a real solution to a problem looks like, a problem that you yourself has bitched about many times on your blog. You see the difference? These people are actually doing something. People can use money to fix problems. this is one million times better than sitting in your living room bitching:
This project could clean up 50% of all plastic floating in the oceans in 5 years!!!!
Money is enabling this project to happen. They are using capitalism when they sell the scrap plastic they gather to offset their costs. If these people decided to not use money instead, nothing would be happening right now. All they would be able to do without money is be like you and bitch about it on the internet.
I do teach people how to recognize pseudoscience and bad reasoning. And how not to fall for your propaganda that money is somehow bad. It isn't. Money is the best tool that man has ever created.
You live in your bubble, really. You do not teach anything to people reading this blog.
Talking of pseudoscience: ocean clean up launched... what a joke. ... do you know THE AMOUNT of plastic entering the oceans first EVERY YEAR... did you care to google that up? ADDITIONALLY, it is not the people who must come up with solutions but the INDUSTRY, THE FIRST CLASS POLLUTERS, but would they do that, their profits would shrink completely. This example alone highlights the SCAM that is CRAPITALISM. The evil doers can POLLUTE, POISON and EXPLOIT PEOPLE as much as they want for PROFIT EFFICIENCY. Values which you ENDORSE. I am exposing all that, yes very very disturbing, I know.
ONLY RATIONAL SOLUTION: plastic production should be cut down by 75% for this project to be worthy, otherwise in 5 years from now, they will still be there chasing plastic on the ocean.
But cutting down plastic production by 75%, at the retail level mainly, wont happen otherwise the oil industry producing the plastic would lose its shareholders, this rippling through as a domino effect... and then we'll have a world crash because we are addicted to plastic and quick profits.
yep the ocean clean up has started. Finances by WHO??? Donations will not help if a vast majority is clueless about economics. People who understand a money-free system have generally figured all out. Yes, they said producing less plastic but then ask the consumers to stop using plastic... WRONG, it is a leftist stance, that is the oil industry the MAIN culprit!! They must be sued and tried for crimes against humanity!!! Social engineering at its finest!!!

Ok, check out the project here, lots of information inside:
https://www.theoceancleanup.com/
They are currently in the middle of a final two week test of the system 350 miles out before towing it to the plastic patch. https://www.theoceancleanup.com/updates/pacific-trials-the-gateway-to-the-great-pacific-garbage-patch/
So, there is a large patch of plastic off the coast of California that is roughly twice the size of Texas. The plastic that is floating around in there has been estimated recently at 80,000 tons. That is 4-16 times bigger than previously thought.
So a quick little bit of maths.
The are promising to cleanup half in five years. So...
80,000/2= 40,000 cleaned in 5 years. Or...
40,000/5= 8,000 tons a year.
This doesn't sound so outlandish. Seeing as that they plan to have 60 of those thingies out there gathering up the plastic, that comes to...
8,000/60= 133 tons per unit per year. And if they visit each one once a month with a cleanup barge, that's 10-11 tons of plastic per unit, or...
60x11=660 tons to clean out all 60 units once a month.
The average size of a garbage barge can hold 1400 tons, so one barge can make one trip a month to easily handle the cleanup process.
There is nothing ridiculous or even hard to do with these numbers. Bravo for these people solving this problem. BRAVO!
actually it is A SCIENTIFIC MAG and their digits match what I have read for years, but you even didnt bother to click on the link...
AT THE LINK: The authors of the paper “Production, use, and fate of all plastics ever made”, published in Science Advances, are Roland Geyer of the University of California Santa Barbara, Jenna Jambeck of the University of Georgia, and Kara Lavender Law of the Sea Education Association in Massachusetts.
Most corporations must be tried for crimes against humanity!!!
ONLY RATIONAL SOLUTION: plastic production should be cut down by 75% for this project to be worthy, otherwise in 5 years from now, they will still be there chasing plastic on the ocean.
But since a corporate shill apologist, then you have to distract from the fact THOSE WHO HAVE POISONED THE ENVIRONMENT ARE RUNNING LOOSE...
AND MORE POLLUTION FROM THE FAST FASHION INDUSTRY with its planetary microfabric pollution of the most rivers and oceans, even in the tab water. More crime against humanity. Microfibers are everywhere, even in fish guts now.
There is no way to buy our way out without a CRASH... also when this plastic from the ocean is brought back to the land... WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? CONSIDERING THAT ONLY LIKE 30% OF PLASTIC IS RECYCLABLE because it is more expensive to make.
The death of the plastic and synthetic fabric industry will have to come first, I am afraid, to allow REAL INNOVATIONS to take over. Innovations that will first RESPECT the human life. Many hemp based innovations will take over eventually
