The sum total of each man's giving determines the standard of man's civilization. Unity of man has always been impossible in a world of fear and discontent where every man fears every other man as an enemy -- Walter Russell
It is not possible to make profits nor collude if an economy is transparent. Think about it!
Power is what prevents transparency but people in the pyramid of consumption want to be competitive. Can't have it both ways
The most puzzling perhaps is that because value is entirely subjective, we end up destroying the fabric of society trying to do good. Shocks to the system happen because society resists Nature’s balance or perpetual zero-sum game. As a result many must lose for a very few to win the jackpot. Human history is dotted with economic crises wiping out middle classes over and over. Social classes are but an illusion. Realistically speaking, there is nothing wrong with money… until people begin to use it for hoarding, getting whatever perks and free rides, creating and sustaining cheap or slave labor, imposing price subjectivity behind any market manias, accumulating power, which is why meritocracy paradoxically rules over its own self-made servitude.
We live in a world where everything works in reverse because existential values have monetized conflicts of interest to no end. Since values are inverted finding ourselves back on the right path requires first a burning desire to see this earthly onslaught come to an end. It is only when the understanding of the crisis endorses the 'greater picture' that we allow Holistic Thinking to set in and come to the rescue.
The subjectivity of value is the main challenge people must come to term with, and for a money-free society to win over. But it really is about sensing versus knowing and knowing is more important that sensing. Unfortunately, most people sense that they still can do good in a system that is so blatantly beyond repair, meanwhile the big and objective picture (real knowledge or lack thereof) is gobbling us up, every day more and more.
Thank you for resteening and upvoting these ideas, more people have to know that there is a bold solution to embrace the end of darwinism/competition that will be upon us in 10 years from now.
