The natural world, at least according to your funny little ideas, is a (bad) system that also depends on scarcity.
Do animals have all the food they can eat? No.
Do animals have all the mates they ever want? No.
Can animals live where they please? No.
Are animals the masters of this planet? No.
Can animals think, create & associate like humans? No.
And just look at how "poorly managed" nature is! That stupid starving lion could work together with the other stupid starving lions and have all the
food they could ever want! What a putz!
Nice try. Nature always balances itself IF the human race does not interfere.
A lion would NEVER kill more than he needs for himself & his cubs.
For the OP, this has become a personal religious issue. The OP has made it clear that he/she is right because of a lot of pseudo-scientific
mumbo-jumbo and evidence to the contrary be damned because it is all the work of evil forces trying to suppress humanity.
You do not think humanity is being suppressed?
What are you? An ostrich looking at the inside of an ant hill?
Wake up my friend.
Why should someone even read the "book" if they don't agree with the free energy nuts and don't believe that evil imaginary lizard people are
suppressing all this remarkable technology?
Ridiculing the author will not get humanity to the next fase of civilization.
On the contrary, in these times we need all the new ideas we can get our hands on and embrace the ones who bring these ideas forward.
This thread is akin to someone telling us that they figured out a way to cure all types of cancer. Then the first suggestion is, "First, you have to
allow the Tooth-Bunny to enter into your life", and perhaps make a small donation.
First of all: you can
cure all cancer by electrifying your blood.
Secondly: the author never asked for donations.
How is that any solution? How do you ensure transparency? How do you restrict people of a like mind from meeting in private and working
together to ensure a competitive advantage for their set of genes?
If you take money out of the equasion and create abundance, there is no competitive advantage to be gained or sought.
You simply can't. Because neither you nor I, (nor the governments) have any control over peoples' thoughts and associations.
"Governments have no control over people's thoughts and associations"
So good I had to quote it twice. You cannot possibly be serious. If you really are serious about that remark I feel deeply sorry for you.
A hint: since the day you were born the government has molded your thoughts and associations.
You are the worst kind of slave because you think you
are free.
Work! Make Money! Buy Things! Get into debt as soon as you can!
Loan-Buy-Pay-Back-Loan more-Buy More-Payback
There's a good citizen!
Since your perfect utopia is endangered by a handful of people simply organizing tightly to confer upon their offspring a breeding advantage, it will
fail utterly and spectacularly in short order.
Again, nice try. What breeding advantage please do tell...
Despite what you may believe, you still haven't discovered a magical cure for the "human condition."

We MUST without a doubt reject money and the current financial system which only breeds corruption, repression and slavery.
We must. There is simply no other way for humanity to move forward.
Agreeing with Amaterasu's theories or not, the move to an abundance model or a resource based society needs to happen, although many will be afraid,
especially the Elite who will lose their chokehold on the masses.
They will kick, scream & do anything to suppress, ridicule & ignore the resource based society model. Still they will fail. There will come a
"tipping point" where the majority of mankind will see that money no longer has a place on this planet, and we will start building GeoThermal
factories and farming robots. You do not even need "free energy".
No sane person can, after studying "The Venus Project" or "Future by design", uphold that our current society is preferred to the one we need to
work towards.
If you think you are sane and without a hidden agenda I would love to hear your arguments as to why we should keep money and artificial scarcity on
this planet.
If you have a better solution, we are all ears.
