Money

What if all of a sudden nobody had to work anymore because everything was now free? We'd all of a sudden have time. All our friends and family wouldn't have to keep a schedule anymore. We wouldn't even need watches and then we'd all of a sudden have all the time in the world for friends and family and making more and more meaningful relationships and experiences from traveling and communicating with every single person along the way. And nobody had stress. We wouldn't be bored because we'd be seeing the world wit travel. There was no crime because nobody stole anymore almost like living back in the 50's. No need to lock anything. And maybe even happiness would take over the globe as the biggest wave of social influence ever catching from one person to the next like an infectious disease.


If you take away the cause there is no effect.




Conceptual numbers and Conceptual comfort, and Conceptual anger.

So in the beginning of time we started with farms and capitalists and pilagers.

The farmers would use crops as currency.

The capitalists(cap-in-toll: if you couldn't pay your head was the price or your slavery) Would use silver as currency. And had markets, and had contracts, and had politicians, and had priests, and everything we have today.

And the pilagers didn't farm but were hungry and wanted food and money for free so they'd go around and steel stuff instead of working or living in society.

---------------------------------

Fast forward 8,000 years to today.

Everything is still exactly the same!

So the root of all evil is money. Why? Well without cause there wouldn't be effect. Without motive there wouldn't be crime.

There have been psychological tests if you have animals in a cage and restrict food, then after a week put a piece of meat in the cage, what do you think will happen? They will fight over the meat and the biggest one will win. Just go to the park and feed the sea gulls. They will fight over it and the biggest one will always be fed first.

All crimes are done to steel things or as a negotiation tactic for future deals or the current deal. If you took away the motive would there all of a sudden be no criminals in jail? It's all psychology!

We as humans are no better than animals still. We fight over land and money, and stuff. Everybody wants a piece of the pie. For the little guys it's just 1000$ to waste on a badly made new gizmo, for the fortune elite it's land and power. All wars since the beginning of time have just been a negotiation tactic. They've wanted more money or power and the victor was the one who won the negotiation at the loss of thousands of lives and usually the leaders stayed out of the fight and in luxury and never died in the end.

First of all if you make good stuff that doesn't break you never need to buy new stuff. Second of all there is infinite land in the universe and on space ships if we learned to work together. Third of all, money is only a concept.

I have a demonstration you might try sometime. Pull out a dollar bill in front of a crowd and ask "what is this"? They'll say "a dollar". So they obviously are using their amazing imaginations so then say "what's it made out of?" They'll say "paper". So then you say "yes paper, and not even very good paper" and then you rip the worthless dollar in half, and let them know of the concept that "money does not exist". You have just proved that it was a concept because now no one will accept it as currency because it's all ripped up. It's a fake concept and is called "fiat currency" and is only a concept. Everything on earth only has value because we all put it there. Even if it's a free item like a signature. But in reality it doesn't have any value intrinsic or otherwise. In the end when we die all our possessions don't go with us when we die. We are only here temporarily and are only borrowing stuff for a short time while we live.

You may argue then that we should have the best life with the most stuff while we're here and not care about how many crimes we break or people we hurt while we're here.

I would agree that we do not need to really worry about any consequences, but why would you put yourself through all that stress having to wear a business suit and do ridiculous paperwork and have anger and distrust and greed and with fortune comes misfortune.

There is a better way! there is still hope for the human race! What if everything was free?
.....................................................................
What if housing was free?

What if air conditioning was unneeded?

What if insurance was never needed?

What if water was free or we didn't use it as much?

What if food was free, any type grown locally in all seasons?

What if energy was hardly ever needed and if it was the energy was free and infinite?

What if your car never broke and it got over 150 miles to the gallon, or instead we flew everywhere for free?

What if computers never over heated, and what if we didn't even need them?

What if we had free lighting, and free heat?

What if we weren't so bored with modern day life that the only thing to do is watch tv.

The simple fact is all these technologies exist right now.

Stone, dirt, brick, composting toilet, or pasteurizing, non electric washer, clothes line, mobile hydroponic green houses, low energy devices, atomic batteries, fusion, erbium fiber optics, processors and SSD's without designed obsolescence overheating, paragliders, golf cart run from gas generator. Do projects and help each other, and socialize, and do rituals like lunch or church or games or dancing.
-------------------------------------------------------

If you never had to buy anything ever again would the economy collapse or what would happen. If all your bills were free except for one which was toilet paper would the price of toilet paper become trillions of dollars a roll or would you then only work for the toilet paper factories or what would happen? If all our work was done by AI robots and we never had to work again what would happen to the economy, or to power and government?

In the end this is the only way out. People are obsessed with the end of the world because they think there's no way out and they just have to start over. But there is a way out, make things that never break and that are free to make!

Machu pichu in ancient peru had it right. They had terraced easy to water farms, and houses made out of stone that would never break, up in the mountains where no one could find them or take their stuff either. Impossible for pillagers to steal meant that they needed no government to protect them. All they needed was food/shelter/and love. For whatever reason they disappeared they had it right.
