RE: Social Change - Part 4 - The minority of Decentralization and the Blockchain
Great article with many "quote-like" sentences.
"When existence is only subsistence then there is resistance"
That is exactly my philosophy. Working in order to make a living in order to survive is so against my philosophy. You know, many people do a job they don't like, and they do so to "make a living in order to survive". Yet even when we say that we enjoy our job, the primary reason we do that work is not that it is fun but still "to make a living in order to survive". So in either case, the financial survival is the propulsory force. So long as this very financial survival hasn't been dismantled in our lives, there cannot really be 100% Joy in our every moment of Being. Only when the financial survival question is undone at its deepest root, we can unleash 100% Joy in the present moment, and from this position anything we start doing will be voluntarily, Heart-based and hence most successful. The child-like zest for life is something I yearn for rediscovering, yet it might take a bit longer :)
Yes, most of the people confuse "to Be" with "to Have", generating an internal castle of "false-selves" that will our "fake self" as our history.
The actual "Kitsch" society is a typical product of modernity and modernization, marked by economic development "to HAVE" and preventing the evolution "to BE".
Thus the main causes of most of people's lives are demand for status, social display, and consumerism by the spirit of ostentation.
