I think the only way this system can start to equalize itself is if people start to learn how to live off the land again. Once we have self-sustaining (properly nourished, educated, etc) commmunities who can live without currency (animal kingdom has done it since it existed) the system will finally be able to balance itself.
Once people realize currency is a man-made thing, and is not necessary to live fruitful, productive, enriched lives (the one real hurdle left is energy self-sufficiency), the system will finally be able to balance itself.
The fact that more and more startups are learning to self-govern is more reason to be optimistic that the social constructs that rule our worlds today are going to be a thing of the past. Hopefully sooner than later.
- trhtrsh 14y agoLiving off the land in a small unit is an incredibly inefficient way to produce value.
- amish 14y agoI wouldn't advocate the use of antiquated technologies to accomplish this. The idea here is currency-free communities who live just as efficiently as currency-rich communities. But you have to start somewhere. What are the tools you need to build in order to build the tools to build the tools that build the tools, etc. that you need in order to live as efficiently as we do today. Sure it wouldn't be as easy for many, but imagine a line below which folks who live in a currency-dependent economy would actually be better off to leave it. As more and more people fall below that line, the alternative way of life becomes more viable to sustain itself. The thing that the wealthiest folks don't seem to realize is it's in their best interest to ensure the little guy has money. When a significant percentage of the population loses incentive to accumulate wealth you lose value on a global scale.
