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.

Interpretation and Reaction
When we see a cat on the side of the road as we're driving by, there are many different ways we can both interpret this and also react to those interpretations.
We could see the cat in an angry way and say "what a stupid cat on the side of the road is going to kill itself".
We could see it in a humorous way and say "look at that cute funny looking cat"
We could interpret it in a sad way and say "Oh poor cat, it must be lost and have lost it's parents and I'd be sad if it got run over".
Or interpret it in many other ways.
reacting to it is a separate matter.
Now anger can be constructive or destructive. Sometimes people like seeing anger from someone who is doing the right thing but don't want to see it from someone who's doing the wrong thing.
Seeing insults as funny is the norm these days and people become desensitized to constantly insulting each other and swearing at each other that they find they laugh even at the most hurtful insults, and may regret it later or not. Who knows?
When you you see someone instantly assume thing this is they immediately interpreting something in the way they're usually accustomed to and then they may react to it either in a good or bad way. So both interpretation and reaction are separate. You could see something bad and be dead pan or see something bad and cry or be angry or other.
Also the emotions and actions you protray will effect how others treat you. If you are sad or depressed then you may possibly bring out the better qualities in others by them showing care and comfort and not making things worse. But if you're energetic and enthusiastic and or anoying then people will feel free to use insult comedy or to react strange toward you or fake being happy also, just to not get you riled up.
Along the same lines if you are quiet all the time then nobody has anything to interpret so no good or bad interpretations at all. This may actually be good because sometimes lots of people are kind and caring and quiet and accepting and complimentary around their friends but around other people who aren't their friends they always tell the truth about the person to everybody and have zero sympathy or comfort for them. In this situation it may be better to always just be quiet or keep everything you know or think a secret. So secrecy can be good so that nobody every has trouble understanding or interpreting what you say and it can also be good to not hurt other people or to say inappropriate language accidentally, and become the person you don't want to be. Or just stay away from those people who cause you to not be yourself and eventually you may not feel that way about them anymore and you both may have grown and become better at communicating. So separation and space and quiet can actually be healthy and help people fix their own points of view.
Our own personalities are all just figments of our own imaginations. We create ourselves. You can step outside your emotions and think logically but sometimes you have to confront issues in order to be able to live with yourself. The old term for sanity came from sanitary and to have a clean mind was sanity and cleaning it our with meditation, and logical thinking, was the only form of medication back then.

Metropol-asses
I recently came to the realization that everybody in Florida is an asshole. People say you shouldn't make over generalizations. People say that you can't be the only one that's right and everybody else is wrong. Well now I'm certain that that's the case, and that I'm the only one who notices that everyone is an asshole. Maybe I'm just the only one that's seen the other side before. The reason for this is that since everyone else is already an asshole, even the nice people turn into assholes, and you can't trust anyone to be nice anymore, and people just think that they can get away with being an asshole. I know this strange phenomena from living in a small town in Washington and taking trips into Seattle. A strange thing would happen as you drove out of the city and into the country. The whole mood changed and you started to feel more relaxed and happier. I think this is because people are naturally nicer in small towns or people just know each other and can't get away with being an asshole. In the city people are obsessed with money, and appearances, and bills, and have to deal with over population. This makes me want to move to Alaska more than ever and become self sufficient.

Reasoning Good and Bad
There is no reason why anybody does anything. People only do things by feeling. Or you can make any reason fit the one feeling, but not the other way around.
I'm reminded of the old quote "what's good for an ass is bad for a man" Ass being a donkey, it goes gold is good for a man but bad for an ass but hay is bad for a man but good for an ass. Is it good to kill people, apparently "yes" for the right reasons at war. killing animals is good because we love to eat. We don't care just as long as it's not us. That's the way we feel. But in reality it doesn't matter. Is it bad that asteroids hit earth? For us yes but there was no reason for it, we just want there to be a reason. It's just chance, and nature. There is no good and bad in reality but only opinion of good and bad.
If you're in a mood one day and make bad choices, you will find that when you're out of that mood that you don't even know why you made those choices while in that mood. The fact is that there was no reason and that you were only acting by feeling and trying to explain the feelings with a reason and with some kind of rationality where there was none. Try taking a mood altering drug, like alcohol for example, and you'll see what I mean.
Some people choose to live in Alaska in a subsistence way. But other people will live in florida in the city. All because of how it makes them feel to live that way. The reason is pointless. When faced with a choice, one person will do something for one reason while another person will do something completely different for another perfectly logical reason. Like when you are at war and you alone can save many lives by just sacrificing your own life. Some people will think it is the right choice to make for a perfectly logical reason while others will make the opposite choice for another perfectly good reason. the good of the many out way the good of the few or the one. But self preservation is also logical. So there is no real reason. You can't explain feelings with a reason.
In the end a schizophrenic will have feelings that are so intense of how bad their life is that they make a choice, and try to make a reason for what they're about to do based on their emotions. But the reason has no basis, and they can't think of a good enough reason to not do it, and they finally choose to commit suicide. When in reality it was all feeling that made them do it and no reason in the world can be good enough to justify the waste of your own existence. It's only done to end the feeling.

Fuzzy Philosophical Equations
Are a new thing I just got into. The purpose is to make your life easier by using the equations as a way to calculate happiness or success. An example is: Fun = Time x Money. Which I am using to decide if I should work or instead have fun. Most people that work have no time and only 2 weeks of vacation determined by their boss and also it is very rare to make more money per month than you spend per month. Thus Jobs = (-)Time x (+/-) Money. Unless you're your own boss and rich. Which I myself may be, at the end of this year.
I also predict that one day certain psychology based versions of these insights into the human thought process that I call "Fuzzy philosophical equations" may one day be adapted to making artificial intelligence programming either possible, or just more compact and quantifiable.

Do Wild Animals Live A Better Life Than You?
Never allow the life you lead to be less enjoyable or trouble free than an animals life is. In other words always lead a better life than an animal leads.
If you can beat this carefree of a lifestyle, then you would now be one of the happiest people on earth.
- When it comes to food, animals always have food unless it's the dry season in Africa. As shown by the fact that they are alive.
- When it comes to water, animals always have some, as shown by the fact that they are alive. And that there is infinite, free, clean, water from the sky.
- When it comes to work, animals only have to feed themselves and there offspring and clean themselves. That's it.
- When it comes to shelter, animals have none, unless they live in caves, or other dry places. But I doubt that they mind the weather because their bodies have been adapted for rain protection and cold protection. And I guess since animals don't have clothes, that being in the rain for them, is like being in the shower for us. And it may even be fun to live out in the real world's weather instead of in the same old boring living room watching reruns every day. The house that we live in, which is only shelter, and warmth, and a place to hoard all of our worthless collectibles, and a place for indoor bathrooms, is one of the highest monthly costs that you will ever pay. Does it really make sense to pay this much, when you can meet all of these necessities on any piece of land with no investment capital all in 1 weeks worth of research and preparation and work. It's just the judgment of other people that we fear. Because if there are so many people living the way that modern society does, then they can't possibly all be wrong. But from a different point of view, there are just as many animals out there that don't live the same way that society does, and they seem to be happy, and doing just fine.
- When it comes to modern conveniences, ask yourself if they are actually conveniences. If this so called modern convenience requires a monthly bill, ask yourself if the inconvenience of a monthly bill outweighs the convenience of what you're paying the monthly bill for.
- For entertainment, the TV is always just reruns and fictional stories that have no meaning in reality. Cable has to be paid for every month. And to keep the company growing they plan on increasing the monthly bill, one way or another.
- As for clothes, animals have none but with modern technology clothes are cheap, so this isn't hard to acquire.
If you can beat this carefree of a lifestyle, then you would now be one of the happiest people on earth.

Analysis paralysis
Don’t over analyze things, just do it.
Don’t do lots of calorie counting or other diet plan calculations unless you like calculating. All you really need to know is less calories absorbed and more calories expended = Weight loss. Just do it in a healthy way to avoid health problems later on. So again just do it, and think happy thoughts while exercising, or don’t even care if you feel pain. Ignore that feeling.
Another way to just do things is to set up fool proof systems. Such as just not buying bad food at the store forces out the thought process of deciding on whether to eat the leftover cake in the fridge or the healthy food right beside it. It's always hard to fight human urges. See also: Automatic Success Theory
When it comes to life, lots of avenues to success are to just try, try again. Which means that you actually have to fail as a means of learning to succeed. Also called the school of hard knocks. You don’t become a professional athlete by thinking it through and then automatically being the best in the world. The real world is the best teacher, because when you test it, it gives you absolute proof of how the world around you really works. This can also be seen as using the scientific method, of theorizing and properly actually testing those theories.
You can never convince yourself of all of the positive or negative consequences or out comes to a Project because of the Butterfly effect and the comedic rule of “Murphy’s law”. The universe is infinitely complex and infinitely detailed with infinite outcomes. Or in other words infinite causes and effects.
So in the end the best advice is still, just do it. As long as you don’t do anything foolish, or you are incompetent to perform the task. So for that reason, always prepare yourself for anything you do by doing proper research and preparation, and in the end you can have confidence in your own knowledge and experience. And also always have confidence in your ability to think on your feet and solve new problems as they arise.

Control
People only yell or get angry or insult things when they have no control over those things.
But some things you aren’t supposed to have control over in the first place like other people.
That’s why you never see doctors or scientists ever get angry or yell at things, because they’re in the business of controlled experiments and being in control.
I personally get angry when other people are controlling my life and I can’t stop them from doing that.
All technology has been made to control the universe. And some people take it upon themselves to control other people with that technology or infrastructure. See: Absolute certainty for more on this.
---------------
Society: Everybody wants to have total control over their own life. This is a problem in society. In society too much control over people is a totalitarian dictatorship, and too little control would supposedly look like the movie mad max in total anarchy.
Animals live in total anarchy, but if you are the animal at the top of the food chain then you have control over the other animals but they have no control over you.
This is the same in society when the rich guy has control over the poor people but the poor people have no control over the rich people.
This is the same as military, when the guys with the bigger guns have control over everybody else in the world but the small unarmed countries have no control over the bigger countries.
In other words,"It's good to be the king". And it sucks to be the little people with their lives under other peoples control.
So is it a balance between chaos and control that makes a good society? I say as long as you have complete control over your own life but you have absolutely no control over other peoples lives, then that would be the best society. This is actually the libertarian philosophy. But still even if a libertarian country was created it could possible still be corrupted some day.
But in the end the only way to have a perfect society is to have only good people in that society, which means having to cure the entire human race of all mental illness. In other words a perfect society is not possible.
