Because the paradigm I bring is a "political" ideology in many ways (as well as an economic one, and a social engineering one, and others), I place
this in here.
I was at a board, discussing the abundance paradigm with people who think the solution is for us to oust ALL the present reps in government and start
over. In discussing the paradigm, the issue of sociopaths and psychopaths came up as a reason abundance "won't work."

I take the liberty to offer here my last reply and invite comments from my fellow ATSers.
My reply:
I wish to apologize for my abrasiveness where it has occurred in this forum. I, too, fall to the choice issues of my ego.
I want to ask all of you, as we’re nitpicking about 6% who are this evil, deranged set of individuals, do you think such behavior will be tolerated
by the rest of us in abundance?
I’ll overestimate the deranged individuals at 10%, and then ask why it is that you would give up on abundance for all (which is available if we work
to bring it forth) because you see that some of the same issues
as we have right now might exist in abundance?
Why would you not support abundance for the 90% who are NOT “deranged” or “evil?”
Why would you focus on issues we might still have even as the world feeds us and frees us?
I have to suspect that it is either that you have an agenda or cannot see that far. If the former, I ask you if you really support this evil that
holds us down, and are willing to sacrifice your time here to that end – for others, even – or whether you wouldn’t be happier overall if
you called the shots in your life, moment to moment. And to you who just cannot see the service that would be done for others, by far the
majority on this planet, I invite you to think outside your petty fears.
I can assure you that choosing deranged behavior will not be tolerated in abundance, with personal witness, open source robotics, publicly run efforts
to produce and distribute the abundance, public discussion of issues, and so on.
If we just spent 700 billion on providing people with energy generators – for houses, cars, and small businesses… The vast majority of lives will
be enhanced. There’s a start.
As children are brought up with encouragement, not to become good little slaves, but to find their bliss within the three Laws, such deranged choices
of behavior will fall away. When one is in one’s bliss, one is not frustrated nor is one twisted.
It is true that few if any are
bad at what they love to do. Consider the quality that will result when we each are creating blissfully.
I have illustrated that much of the deranged behavior choices are made out of frustration, out of a lack of control of one’s life. We are twisted
by this scarcity paradigm through the frustration of our quest for our bliss, via the tool called “money.”
To those of you who brought up examples of analysis showing that we “need” money, I say, first and foremost, that these were written within a
scarcity paradigm. They are all based on the assumption that there is not enough for everybody.
And they assume that humans “need” work, which is, in a sense, true, but what we NEED is the option to work
within our bliss.
Merely being a slave to bring home the means by which we subsist is not what we need. They will say it is.
And lastly, we will exchange our goods, our art, our craft, making our reputations by what our bliss produces, and wealth will be measured in quality
of character and not the size of a paycheck. We will gift our works to those who will appreciate them, not pump out crap for profit with planned
obsolescence incorporated.
If you want to see what abundance will do to humanity, with information about true cures and not drugs that mask issues and create bigger issues down
the line – but which can be patented…
If you want to see what changes in the choices of behavior will be made…
If you want to see how it all will work…
I recommend reading my book.
Thank you for your willingness to consider my words and recommendation here. I am honored. And since the abundance will only happen if we spread the
paradigm widely…I will be most honored if you choose to spread it yourself when you are done.
