Imagine a land of plenty, and how much happier we'd be with marijuana as the backbone of our advanced civilization.

That's a very nice thought but taking away rich people's reason to live is not high up on the agenda.

Like that would work, it is called communism, and has been a dismal failure everywhere it was tried.

This has nothing to do with communism !

If all people are free and can just do what they want it is something else.

In communism there is still one person on top but every else is just a slave like another.

Capitalism makes it a bit different but still this is a pyramid structure and we all know what this means.

A balanced system means it balances with all things.
Only then you can have a healthy and growing view.

Get this in your head as you are still brainwashed with this capi and commi crap. It is almost the same shit

Re: Money is stupid, illogical; Alien races would laugh at us for mindlessly playing with our lives with such a concept as money and hierchal systems
The problem OP is that your concept basically resembles the current system of socialism and communism. The reason all types of government eventually fail are all related - the greed of people in power. Eventually it might even be the downfall of the system we have now.

Don't get me wrong, in concept what you are saying is completely logical, and maybe, sometime far in the future, we will reach a point of evolution where those types of systems would work. Personally, though, I would wager we are still a couple thousand years out from that, if ever. A greedier, more violent, warlike race has never walked this planet. Between those who would ruin everyone for their own gain and those who have become so apathetic to it, there is zero chance of a system like that working where it wouldn't eventually collapse.

Capitalism may have its' flaws, and there is no debating that, but it is the only system that has made it even possible for people to progress upward by their own design.

Yes, everyone should work together. There should also be world peace, and I should be able to eat Ben & Jerry's and not see it eternally after on my hips.

Human nature is such that the majority of people will work harder if they see the direct fruits of their labour. Its also true that people will use less electricity in a co-op apartment building if each apartment is metered (ie you pay for what YOU use) than in those where each apartment "pays their share": human nature.

So. Capitalism, as ugly as it is on its face produces the biggest pie WHILE using the least energy (and thus saving the environment). The win-win-win.

How does one account for the production? Money. When that money results from those who are growing the pie (in an energy-efficient manner, of course), and not those who are moving pieces around the pan, or worse, shaving pieces off of it like the ancient Romans with their denarii, we all benefit.

The problem is not with those that produce the pie, it is with those who meaninglessly move the pieces around, OR WORSE STEAL.

Re: Money is stupid, illogical; Alien races would laugh at us for mindlessly playing with our lives with such a concept as money and hierchal systems
When settlers first came to this country, mult
iple groups tried the moneyless society idea where people worked for the common good. EVERYONE STARVED TO DEATH!!!!


Money is not good or evil, it just is. If I got the same amount of goods and services no matter how hard I worked, I would stay home all day and enjoy life. Instead of putting in those long hour on the farm.

I just finished work for the day at 8:30 at night, because it takes a lot of work, especially in the spring, to get my crops to grow. Then I read the B.S. on this site about no money. You lazy SOB's just want to live a comfortable life without work. GROW UP!!!!

No-one owes you food, clothing, a house, or any of your electronic toys. It is your responsibility as a human being to provide those things for yourself with your labor. The government and the corporations did not invent work, God invented work. Now get off your butt and go find a job, start a business, or at least try to grow some food to eat.

The world is composed of various levels of souls development:

infant - baby - young - mature and old souls


You can get infant and baby souls to do the "dirty" work, and they will do gladly since their CONSCIOUSNESS does not give value to anything very complex.

They LIKE being "dumb". Manual laborers.

But nothing stops you from doing volunteer work in those kinds of jobs, for a three month period for your soul's growth and understanding.

That is the money-less way.

Pratical, doable and farier.

Our gov and the rest know that as well, they probably do not laugh at us, but vist only to be appalled by what we have done to our planet and pity us because we never except the wisdom within their knowledge. They may intervene , but have probably tried over thousands of years and would not want to waste anymore of their time.

Hey, no need to berate my thoughts - I find much in Seth that resonates. We would all still be in caves if there was no co-operation, indeed successful capitalism is easily as dependent (if not more so) on co-operation as it is on competition.

I dont think you really read my post. Please go back and read it again with an open mind and heart.

Money is the method to account for labor. My labor is deemed very valuable to our society. Im happy to say I grow the pie. The universe IS abundent and I am fortunate, to tap into that to all our benefit. If you are contributing to society, we benefit from your labor too. Should garbage men, or cleaning ladies, or teachers! be paid more? Perhaps. Should those who steal from the pie be compensated at all? NO! We currently live in a kleptocracy (a society built on theft). Lets fix that and have income going to those who contribute and lets see how far that goes.

My cleaning lady is not going to volunteer to clean my house. Again, this is human nature. I don't manipulate my cleaning lady. She works very hard and takes pride in her work. I pay her a more than fair wage and treat her with great respect. If I was to clean my house rather than spend time in my business growing the pie, there would be less manifested abundence. I certainly am thankful to Nikola Tesla's cleaning lady. She is valuable to me. As was pointed out above, in several hundred years after several more Teslas(or after the aliens come down and give us all the Star Trek technology), as abundence has been made manifest, perhaps there wont be a need for cleaning ladies and garbage men. Until then, you have not suggested a workable solution.

That is why no one wants to have a money-free society.

They will have to clean their own houses!!!

And the other reason is: they wont be able to buy a prostitute to keep her silence about what perverts like to do with them in bed.

Lets create machines that clean (because it IS a sucky job).

And lets be less conservatives and accept "sexual-healers" who do sexual work as volunteers to help humanity fix up their erroneous views about sex, thanks to all the stupid manipulative religions of the world.

Not really.

Sons and daughters killing fathers and mothers because of the money they will get.

People killing eachother to get to the contents of another's wallets.

Robbing to get money to buy drugs that you are addicted to.

Corruption of "authorities" so that your crime that you commited will go unpunished.

ROFL people commit all those wicked acts because of things they LUST FOR and want to acquire without doing the proper effort they require.

You have such a flawed concept of things, and unfortunately this pervades most of our society.

Re: Money is stupid, illogical; Alien races would laugh at us for mindlessly playing with our lives with such a concept as money and hierchal systems
Hey, no need to berate my thoughts - I find much in Seth that resonates. We would all still be in caves if there was no co-operation, indeed successful capitalism is easily as dependent (if not more so) on co-operation as it is on competition.

I dont think you really read my post. Please go back and read it again with an open mind and heart.

Money is the method to account for labor. My labor is deemed very valuable to our society. Im happy to say I grow the pie. The universe IS abundent and I am fortunate, to tap into that to all our benefit. If you are contributing to society, we benefit from your labor too. Should garbage men, or cleaning ladies, or teachers! be paid more? Perhaps. Should those who steal from the pie be compensated at all? NO! We currently live in a kleptocracy (a society built on theft). Lets fix that and have income going to those who contribute and lets see how far that goes.

My cleaning lady is not going to volunteer to clean my house. Again, this is human nature. I don't manipulate my cleaning lady. She works very hard and takes pride in her work. I pay her a more than fair wage and treat her with great respect. If I was to clean my house rather than spend time in my business growing the pie, there would be less manifested abundence. I certainly am thankful to Nikola Tesla's cleaning lady. She is valuable to me. As was pointed out above, in several hundred years after several more Teslas(or after the aliens come down and give us all the Star Trek technology), as abundence has been made manifest, perhaps there wont be a need for cleaning ladies and garbage men. Until then, you have not suggested a workable solution.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19091052



That is why no one wants to have a money-free society.

They will have to clean their own houses!!!

And the other reason is: they wont be able to buy a prostitute to keep her silence about what perverts like to do with them in bed.

Lets create machines that clean (because it IS a sucky job).

And lets be less conservatives and accept "sexual-healers" who do sexual work as volunteers to help humanity fix up their erroneous views about sex, thanks to all the stupid manipulative religions of the world.

Yeah that's the kind of system you'd like, one that assures you all basic needs in exchange for you to be fucking around cruise

If "Royals" and politicians can do it, why can't I???

Exactly, and in a moneyless system you'd have lots of people saying the same, if my neighbor gets the administrative job sorting paper work why do I have to go to put bricks in the construction? Aren't we all equal?

Maybe I'm just crazy but I do not give one shit what alien races think of anything I do.

Btw...I do not put much importance on money other than I want a house that's paid off so I don't have to worry about paying rents/mortgages. I'm pretty simple here.

I am okay with living in a hollow tree or cave or something too but nothing's panned out in that department yet. :)

Well even in the shitty, corrupt situation we're in now, I can work my ass off to provide an education to my children and teach them to work hard as well and maybe in a couple generations my family could be much better off than myself.

You will always have to work one way or another, no one lives from doing nothing, never happened and never will. People who advocate for moneyless systems necessarily advocate for systems of top down distribution, and in these systems you will always be a slave to whoever decides based on what kind of philosophy things are distributed.

Why paper? Everything can be by computers. Paper is only used to track and hide all the shaddy transactions that we do under this highly ethical and non-exploitative system of ours.


Not everyone likes to be lazy and unproductive.

It's just an analogy.

Anyway some people also like to smoke pot all day and play guitar, in your kind of system what would you do with them? have someone else work to provide them with all their needs while they do nothing?

Also the robot thing, let's talk about it when it can feasibly be done, right now we're living in our current conditions and these apply.

Welcome to the 5th dimension.

Where peole do things because it brings them joy.

They don't spend their lives bad-mouthing others, while sitting on their own dirty tails.

Like it is right now, in this pathetic smallminded hypocritical lazy ass bitches world of ours.

Try to understand this , people want the most pleasure at the expense of the least effort. Maybe you have a few altruists here and there ,but the majority are like that, and money or not money, that won't change.

Actually Alex Collier said they (ETs) asked him, "Do you mean you have to pay to live on your own planet?"

There is a better way... it just hasn't trickled down to planet earth yet.
