[ ZEITGEIST ADDENDUM ]
In a world where 1% of the population owns
40% of the planet's wealth…in a world where
34,000 children die every single day from
poverty and preventable diseases, and where
50% of the world's population lives on less
than 2 dollars a day… one thing is clear:
Something is very wrong.

My own critique of this video is at the end.

Hello, we are critics of Peter Joseph, and
his followers,

the zeitgeist movie movement.
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com

Peter Joseph wants you to believe the
current paradigm has failed

He wants to abandon our monetary
system

To create a resource allocation system

Or a resource based economy

We want people to get a better idea of the
advances of human society

Under the current paradigm.

One that has proven to extend the lives
and increase the prosperity

of all people of the world.

But now let's also see how the current
paradigm has not only increased

the health and wealth of all nations, but
has also decreased child mortality rates

Globally over the past 50 years.

Ignores Facts on Child Mortality

I'll try to debunk some of the
misinformation that was just
presented by a critic of The
Zeitgeist Movement.

The first piece of insidious
misinformation that's worth
mentioning is when the
video says: "wants you to
believe".

This statement is
misleading because in
materials provided by the
zeitgeist movement, or the
venus project,

a person can clearly see
that the people who
support this direction
actually advocate the
scientific method for social
concern. We don't advocate
any kind of belief.

Which means the zeitgeist
movement (and the venus
project) advocates an end
to subjectivity.

Subjectivity is defined as,

[Subjectivity]
Judgment based on
individual personal
impressions and feelings
and opinions rather than
external facts.

Next we are faced
with the concept of
"wealth" and "value".

First an axis for health, life expectancy from 25 years
to 75 years. And down here, an axis for wealth.

Right here we're faced with
automatically assumed to
be correct social values.
Our concept of value is
immediately influenced to
think that money equals
value. When no amount of
money is valuable.

The book modern money
mechanics admits that:
"Mainly, it is the
CONFIDENCE people have
that they will be able to
exchange such money for
other financial assets and for
real goods and services"

A Workbook on Bank Reserves and Deposit Expansion

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

Modern Money Mechanics

Confidence? Confidence you
say? And what is the value
of confidence when it
comes to the physical
world? Well I'll tell you.
Absolutely nothing, and it
would be foolish to suggest
otherwise. Let me tell you
the real things in life that
are valuable.

Healthy social relations,
healthy food, clean water,
and a humane application
of science and technology.
It is an objective viewpoint
that has progressed
humanity up to the present
point. Not markets, money,
politics or religion, the
subjective viewpoints have
only been a detriment to
humanity's progress.
Humanity works better
cooperating with itself,
instead of being in
competition with itself.

Any progress that
humanity has had, is
because of a humane
application of science and
technology, not because of
market competition,
violence through
indifference or capitalism.

People who advocate
capitalism are attempting
to claim that capitalism
has progressed science
and technology, when in
fact it has only diminished
its progress as much as
possible in order to
maintain society's general
attitude of being
subjective. Also known as
"the right to your own
opinion".

Therefore critics of the
zeitgeist movement are very
threatened by the zeitgeist
movement because we
advocate an objective social
system.

One last thing I would like
to mention is the idea of the
world getting better because
of child mortality rates
decreasing because of
people having smaller
families.

In a market system you're
going to have poverty
regardless of the state of
our technology, and what we
can do with our natural
resources.

The market system
gravitates towards creating
a contrived scarcity. The
reason why is to keep
products valuable to
maintain the existence of
the market system itself.

So simply because of the
market system functioning,
you're going to have a "child
mortality rate", having a
smaller family doesn't
address the problem

because it ignores the fact
that money is valued as
more important than the
health and well being of
human beings. Since money
is created out of debt,
people are forced to

tighten their belts to such a
degree that our quality of
life is decreased. When
there are hard times
because of a recession,
those who are rich are not
giving people. they've been

dazzled by money to such a
degree that all they can
think about is turning the
money they have into more
money.

The zeitgeist movement
advocates an objective
social system to replace the
current subjective social
system that thinks having a
"child mortality rate" is
acceptable.
