RE: Broken Paradigm: How New Goals Make Old Ways Obsolete
I like a lot of those folks, probably all of them, but know of but some already. They're none of them wrong in their assessment that Ken expresses cogently that the financial system is the base of the pyramid of power, and that if only that base were in our possession things would be better.
However, the base is in the hands it's in for reasons. I referred to this when I discussed how the system is perpetuated by winnowing from applicants those that will successfully execute whatever reprehensible and intellectually challenging financial acts nominal to secure funds. Mike Tyson also said this more simply when he stated that Don King would sell his mother for a dollar.
So, wrestling with those psychopaths for the money is not the solution. Indeed, it is the trap they have set. This is why I actually seek to solve the problem, rather than gain the money that perpetuates it. Should I be rapine and predatory enough to gain the money, and thus the power, I will have proved I am not the guy to set us free from it. Further, after spending all that time and effort to gain that power, what could conceivably convince me to obviate it?
Instead, gaining that financial power simply recruits new management. This is why I pointed out that the system cannot replace itself, but only perpetuates itself, and the quest to attain it's power is the exact opposite of solving the problem of freedom.
I am going to build an infrastructure that makes money obsolete.
Thanks!
I'm completely with you on this. Money is the root of all evil and must be abandoned. From one perspective it's obsolete already as it's not backed by resources anymore. Just some virtual digits in a bank account. It's the greatest deception of all time.
I fully support your mission and would appreciate if you keep us posted. Always a great pleasure meeting someone who has seen through the deception.
Well, I was sluffing off today, building a deck for a neighbor who cannot afford it, but who's own efforts were actually dangerous, so I worked for the reward of a longer lived neighbor =p.
As I said, at the pace I can be expected to proceed, there's not much point in abating your breath awaiting developments. It'll be a month or more before I get up the scratch for a printer, and likely this winter before I have much of a handle on how to use it enough to start making modifications.
I appreciate much your kind words =)
