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
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. :)

The "elite" invaded the Americas, stole the land that belongs to God to ALL of its children. Gave some to their brotherhood friends, the rest they sell back to us, but you gotta pay to have the right of the land to continue.

All the while they legislate that robbing things is a crime.

I like all your posts in this thread, too bad more people don't wake up to realize they don't own anything, they are slaves. What's the point in owning a house, you don't pay the taxes and you lose it. This currant system is a fail, all designed to keep the people working and their minds preoccupied. Oh well, I try not to worry too much, I have my guarantee from above and below, soon the man upstairs will clean house.

Isn't it about having different experiences. Even the illusion of owning a home is an experience of freedom... even when in reality we know if the taxes aren't paid one can lose their home. The only real securiety anyone has is their faith in a higher power that everything is exactly as it should be even if we don't understand any of it.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Always remember folks, the bad traits of people don't come from money, they come from people themselves. Were money to disappear those bad traits would manifest in a different manner nonetheless.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37755563


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.

Etc.. Etc. Etc...

All would be gone without money in the equation.

Would some peole still be evil?

Sure.

But the VAST MAJORITY OF CRIMES AND SUFFERING would be gone for good!
 Quoting: TruthMinion


ROFL people commit all those wicked acts because of things they LUST FOR and want to acquire without doing the proper effort they require. This would still happen, more so in a forcedly uniform society where people would be forced to conform to an equal standard in all things while they in fact crave for more than the average of whatever they're being "granted".

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

Okay, but listen...paying taxes in some areas is still a HELL Of a lot cheaper than paying rent or mortgage! Believe me, I'd rather find a hollow tree but I'm sure I would not even be allowed to stay in that as someone (as it was so astutely pointed out) probably "owns" that land.

Look, I just want to be able to have more time to do the things I WANT to do as opposed to being FORCED to come up with all the cash it takes to make that fall into place.

There are cheap housing options out there that allow you if not to bow out of the rat race completely at least to move to a slower wheel.

It's better than giving up and just continuing to run on the fast wheel.

I bet the OP is a part of the Zeitgeist Movement. If not then he/she should be.

They have some really interesting ideas, and if you have the time you should really watch Zeitgeist Addendum. Whether you agree with their philosophy or not, they have an interesting perspective. Check out the trailer. They are our kind of people.

No. God is not about "things are exactly as they should be".

God is about eternal CHANGE.

And fighting for injustices.

Why do you think they are micro-waving people, instead of chopping their heads off, or gunning them down as they used to do (yes, the lazy unproductive "elite" gore of past) in such a vicious manner?

Because people thought that things ARE NOT "exactly as it should be even if we don't understand any of it".

They changed their methods for a invisible one, but they are still doing their dirty things.

BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LAZIEST DUMB BITCHES AROUND.

Put a banana in the room that you sleep, and you will see that the "it's all in your imagination" also affects the banana as well.

Because BOTH - you and the banana - are organic matter.

That is how nasty trying to shut people up has become.

That's the illusion though, that everything is supposed to be this way, it's not. That's why this higher power is going to come and clean house. Things are not as they appear. I'll tell you this much, the answers are inside of you. It's not a sin, per say, to want the house with the nice yard, the good paying job, the wife and kids...but when you are pursuing those things, you have to ask, is that the will of a higher power, or am I succumbing to my own will? Creator is looking for those who gave up their will, and it's a long time coming because so many do not question the world they live in.

I want a better world too. We obviously agree its f'd up and we obviously disagree on how to make it better.

Directing your anger at me instead of the lazy bwah bla blas enables their system to continue. Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see."

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
I think in a world full of abundance and bliss,human beings full of emotion and a deep motivation for comfort..with this desire stems motivations,and altogether these can be aproached uniquely to that energetic signature,and obtaining this comfort can be aproached in different way's/the bad side is evil and probably would be attained throughout a structured environment hidden and impenetrable,keeping the consciousness of freedom hidden away as a goal and enslaving others to do there bidding(let others do it)i seen a simpsons episode once. manipulating the minds and souls of others. torturing beings and creatures harming the planet,the collective conciousness just carrys on harming unaware because ignorance is bliss.I see it all as growth we are all given the infinite doors of experiance for us to grow/descend and ascend/teach learn and BE.

if these scheme's create paradigmnes within the mass and individual conciousness that enforces and mimics a survival instinctual,You VS ME,this is the wild..you are born in a econic system that forces you to rely and breath on it..if you do not obey you will be punished,this society is worldwide and local we are all being forced and manipulated,but the door is wide open for us to enter a new way,for we are not living in the wild,and all we require is at our doorsteps,let it be known that a few people holding attachments to power and hunger trips that when a herd of elephants awaken,enraged,full of energy and bliss travel this world in awe of its creations,we as people ignore uniting as one for the vain pursuit of temporary satisfaction and hoarding as much wealth to accomplish the goal of self and locale comfort..we are much more than this and can move forward together, the nazis in control of the energy,whom hold and control the patent's for other means of obtaining electricty and other technologys,we are at the footsteps of a great personal battle with ourselves and the conditionings and belief systems they have purportrated against us...great minds are hidden,major shill operations and events have begun..old souls and new reincarnate to rejoice in the bliss that friendship and creation brings..we are a family..i miss everyone...let us get a lil bit more comfortable..those are taking it away from us can share with us after they apolise we are one...one entity

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
Therefore you have to come to a solution, and options more than one are given mostly, the situation will start a competition, and in this procedure a ranking will be done.

Best solution, maybe solution, no solution, first, second, last.

On every level the question is posed.

What is the best solution?

Actually, in the human district, to have money is seen and honored as the best solution. Spending a rank order along the amount of to have it.

Into a hierarchy this turns if there are standing ranks, and no fluctuation about the point of to have the best solution is to note.

The idea of free market but lives of this idea.

Basically it's the inheritance of money and with that the inheritance of rank that makes the soup sour. By no competition people is set in mode to dictate what the best solution is.

To keep them afloat, besides, like everyone tries to do.
And not, what the spent attention is gathering for: to be the best solution for that energy, to be the spend attention worth.

The problem caused by this fault is to obey in a historical scope. It just offshores now in an unprecedented scale.

Yeah they're laughing alright, they're laughing that they managed to pull a switcheroo from GOLD (what money really is) to PAPER which means they get to keep all the GOLD for shipment off world.

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.

You are comming from a thinking place that energy is limited.

It is not.

Your argument becomes infantile/amateurish OR manipulative.
 Quoting: TruthMinion


Indeed. Energy is unlimited, and should be free for all. There is no need to use oil.
 Quoting: Lawlis


And money does not account for anything. It is labor.

Money is the only method that people use to get others to perform the LABOR.

It could be volunteer.

But that requires a different motivation in people.

But the money itself does not create anything.

Nothing. Zip. Nada!

It does: investment bubbles. LOL

Barter is impractical on a large scale. Ask ABBA.

Countries they were buying their music to in the 70's actually could not pay them in money.... Turning a pop band into oil brokers.

Its hard to make that workable.
