RE: Global GDP Up 630% since 1980... Think Again!
In Star Trek, Picard might have said that there was no money and that they all volunteer to do things. However, how do you keep track of the give and take between goods, services, actions, and everything? When you have no money system, some people take advantage of that system. Over time, it does the opposite of motivating people to work very hard. I don't have to work very hard if I don't make a lot of money from it. Well, I might work very hard to gain fame and power. But then again, how is that not a money-like system? Keep in mind that money is simply a tracker. It is a record. It is math.
any for of barter will lead to the same problem.... in a money free society there is no need to work 40hrs weekly but more like 15hrs. Dont forget that automation is around the corner and will replace most jobs anyway. The motication is to help improve humanity as opposed to self serving because the endless growth mantra is destroying everything. I suggest that you listen to Peter Joseph and others. The premises are different, competition does not need to be and causes scarcity. The Human Natue thrives way more when it is working for a greater good as 80% today just have a job to they hate and which keep corporations on life support. Humans are social creatures.
Can we buy robots and have robots do jobs for us? Can individual employ their own robots? Most people don't want to work for the common good or they may argue on how that is done or to what extent that is done.
So, what do you do with them?
Should we do to them what Hitler did to them? How do we deal with people who want to steal, lie, kill, etc? Reminds me of when I was living in Asia. They tend to try to blend in, that is collectivism, and some of that may include working together for the common good. That type of system may work better to some extent for Asians and for Africans. However, for Europeans, individualism may be a better system over collectivism. I'm against Rothschild, Cronyism, tyranny, corporatism, Soros, taxes, monopolism, authoritarianism, etc. I love cryptocurrencies. I don't really like money. I encourage reducing the dependency on money systems and on reducing the size of federal governments, regulations, taxes, prohibition, red tape, etc.
I understand your concerns, but no matter how we look at the picture, the only defense we have is education. But when money is removed from the picture, they are losing the main weapon. Constant vigilance is key, but that can be taught too. At some point we will have to move into an uncharted territory regardless, because our salvation will always be what lies in what has not been tried before. :)
I agree. Education is key. Agreed. Trying new things is vital. Decentralized money is moving many people away from centralized money. After that, then even more people can move towards no money at all. So, progress can be gradual.
