or from Washington D.C. to
Beijing, China, in two hours.
This is the future of continental
and intercontinental travel.
Fast, clean, with only a fraction of the
energy usage we use today for the same means.
In fact, between mag-lev technology,
advanced battery storage and geothermal energy
there will be no reason to
ever burning fossil fuel again.
And we can do this now, if we were not
held back by the paralyzing profit structure.
Now America is inclined towards fascism.
It has a propensity by its dominant philosophy
and religion to uphold to fascist point of view.
American industry is essencially a fascist institution.
If you dont understand that, the minute you
punch that time clock you woke into a dictatorship.
We are given notions about the respectibility
of work. And I realy look at it as being paid slavery.
Youre brought up to believe that you shall
earn your living by the sweat of your brow.
That holds people back. Freeing people from drudgery,
repetitive jobs which make them ignorant, you rob them.
In our society, that is a resourced
based economy, machines free people.
You see, we can't imagine that because
we never known that kind of world.
If we look back at history, we see a very clear pattern
of machine automation slowly replacing human labour.
From the dissapearence of the elevator man to the
near full automation of an automobile production plant.
The fact is, as technology grows the need for
humans in the work force will continioully be diemineshed.
This creates a serious clash, which proves the
falsness of the monitary based labour system.
For human employment is in direct
competition with technological developement.
Therefore given the fundamental
priority of profit by industry,
people through time will be continually
layed off and replaced by machine.
When industry takes on a machine
instead of shortening the work day,
they downsize. You loose your job
so you have a right to fear machines.
In a high technology resourced based economy,
it is conservative to say that about 90% of all
current occupations could be phased out by machines.
Freeing humans to live their life without servitude.
For this is the point of technology itself.
And through time with nano technology
and other highly advanced forms of science
it is not far fetch to see how even complex medical
procedures could be performed by machines as well.
And based on the pattern with much higher
success rates than humans get today.
The path is clear but our monetary based structure
which requires labour for income blocks this progress.
Humans need jobs in order to survive.
The bomb line is that this system must go or we will
never be free and technology will be constantly paralyzed.
We have machines that clean out
sewers and frees human being doing that.
So look at machines as
extensions of human performance.
Furthermore many occupations today will have
simply no basis to exist in a resourced based economy.
Such as anything assosiated with the management
of money, advertising along with a legal system itself.
For without money, a great majority of the crimes
that are commited today would never occur.
Virtually all forms of crimes are
consequence in the moneatry system,
either directly or by neurosis
inflicted through financial deprevation.
Therefore laws themselves
could eventually become extinct.
Instead of putting up a sign "drive carefully slippery when wet"
put a abrasive on the highway so it is not slippery when wet.
And when a person gets in car that drunk
and a car oscillates at great deal
there's a little pendulum
that swings up and back and that
will pull the car over to the side
- not a law. Solution.
Put sonar and radar on automobiles
so they cant hit one another.
Man-made laws are attempts
to deal with occuring problems
and not knowing how to solve them
they make a law.
In the United States, the most privatised,
capitalist country on the planet,
it shall come as no surprise
that it also has the largest prison population
in the world - growing every year.
Statistically, most of these people
are uneducated
and come from poor, deprived societies.
And contrary to propaganda,
it is this enviromental conditioning, which
lures them into criminal and violent behaviour.
However society, looks the other way
and regard to this point.
The legal and prison systems
are just more examples
of how our society avoids examining
the root-causes of behaviour.
Billions are spend each year
on prisons and police,
while only a fraction is spend on
programs for poverty,
which is one of the most fundamental variables
responsible for crime to begin with.
And, as long as we have an economic system,
which preferes and infact creates
scarcity and deprivation,
crime will never go away.
If people have access to the necessities of life
without servitude, debt, barter, trade;
they behave very differently.
You want all this things
availabe without a price tag
Now then, youve gotta have a price tag.
What will motivate people?
Men gets just everything what he wants,
he's just lay around in the sun.
This is the myth they perpetuate.
People in our culture are trained to believe
that the monetary system produces incentive:
If they have access to all things,
why should they want to do anything?
They would loose their incentive.
That's what you're taught to
support the monetary system.
When you take money out of the scenerio,
there would be different incentives,
very different incentives.
When people have access to the necessities of life,
their incentives change.
What about the moon and the stars?
New incentives arise.
If you make a painting, that you enjoy,
you will enjoy giving it to
other people - not selling it.
I think most of the education,
that I've seen today,
is essentially producing a person for a job.
It's very specialized.
They're not generalists.
People don't know a lot
about a lot of different subjects.
I don't think you can get people to go to war,
if they knew a lot about a lot of things.
I think education is mostly rote
and they're not taught how to solve problems,
they're not given the tools,
emotionally or whithin their own field,
of how to do critical thinking.
In a resource based economy,
the education would be very different.
Our society's major concern
is mental development
and to motivate each person
to their highest potential.
Because our philosophy is
the smarter people are
people are the rich of the world
because everybody becomes a contributor.
The smarter your kids are,
the better my life will be.
Because they'll be contributing more
constructively to the environment
and to my life.
Because everything that we devise
with an resource based economy
would be applied to society.
There would be nothing to hold it back.
Patriotism, weapons, armies, navies,
all that is a sign,
that we're not civilized yet.
