Why I advocate
the
zeitgeist movement

1. Invention is slow in
a monetary system

The monetary system’s invention
of intellectual property slows
things down. It’s self-centered to
suggest you own a design of
anything. Claiming you own a
design for something is like
claiming you own mathematics.

In a world where there’s no
intellectual property, an
invention’s blueprints is made
available online so upgrades can
be added to it by other people.
This would make improvement in
our quality of life constant.

2. Employment is
cruel

If you think lengthy repetitive
labour that's demanded by the
monetary system is good for
you, then you've fooled yourself
into thinking that torturing
yourself is a good thing.

Lengthy repetitive labour does not
expand the mind at all; it reduces it to
the function of pressing a red button
when you see a cardboard box in a
yellow zone. Since we aren’t machines,
machines would be better at doing
machine like tasks such as the one that
was just described.

3. Values

Here are some of our current values
Money
Property
Employment
Promotion
Inefficient use of resources (being
wasteful is profitable)

We do value our friends and family,
but elements of our core values
contradict valuing each other.
In other words, you can’t respect
people while being highly competitive
for money.

The values of an RBE (resource based
economy) would be as follows
People
Efficient technology
Efficient use of resources
Open source
Sharing items or temporary property

Although there are a finite number of
resources on the planet, if we are
efficient, recycle, and share to such a
degree you can create abundance.
Example: People don't need to own
cars, they need access to efficient
transportation for temporary use. Car
companies will suggest otherwise,
they claim you need to own and love a
car.

4. The scientific
method

If people follow the scientific method,
then everyone is getting their insight
from the same universe. This is a
good thing because there will always
be a consistent logical frame of
reference to work off of.

People should trust the scientific
method because we simply cannot
imagine how our whole universe
works and expect to be right.

For example 1+1 should equal two, for
everyone in the whole world. If a
person comes to a different answer,
and promotes that illogic the person
should consider correcting their
position because promoting illogic is
damaging, and to come to an answer,
other than 2 wouldn’t have used logic.

There’s nothing wrong with being
uniform to logic. Who wants to live in
an insane world?

People should always be open to
reconfirming their perspective of truth,
based on the most effective methods
of extracting truth. For example; It’s
common place to use a calculator to
do a large sum, than to simply guess
the right answer.

The motto of a society based on
science would be; when it comes to
the fundamentals for survival,
opinions are useless.

5. Inequality

Inequality and violence is built into the
monetary system.
Money is (apparently) valuable due to
its scarcity in an economy. If more
money is loaned into an economy then
corporations will raise their prices
hence the inflation effect.

So you always have a condition where
people are fighting for money and
some people can’t get enough money
so they’ll be poor as well as some
resorting to violence to get what they
need to live. A rich person doesn’t rob
a place to get what they need to live.

Inequality is so greatly built into this
economic structure that it causes
whole countries to become poor.
This is cruel and to attempt to justify
this cruelty is cruel. Cruelty is a
sickness that comes from unloving
environments.

We need a system that provides
goods and services to people without
a price tag. Why? Because people
would appreciate the kindness that
they would be getting from such a
system, and they would be less likely
to steal, hoard, or show offensive
behaviour.

People would have peace of mind
knowing they can always get the
goods and services they need to live,
when they require them.
Not when they have enough money to
buy them.

Why would YOU (not someone else)
want to rent out 5 boats for free when
you can only use 1 at a time? It
becomes useless owning items like
houses and vehicles, when you’re in a
society that provides you free rental of
them.

End

I can’t cover everything but those are
some reasons why I advocate TZM. If
you got something out of watching
this I’m happy I didn’t waste your time.

Go to thezeitgeistmovement.com for
more information. If you want to
discuss concerns you have there's a
forum on the site. Please don’t insult
people on the forum; insulting people
makes the world into a shithouse
place to live.

What you don’t know can be more
important than what you know.
You just have to know how to
obtain the insight you’re missing.
