Money = Power = Energy – Why Money Systems Enable Evil and How Free Energy is a Solution
by Amaterasu Solar
.
I will begin by explaining the reason I capitalize Human pronouns, for it was explained to Me when I was asked to write this article, that this practice might be seen as an issue. As I respect every Human as a co-creator here, I give honor to Us all in this way. And if My name is placed upon My writing, I want it to be honest to who I AM. You will likely get used to My way of doing things, knowing at the start why I do it that way. Let Me begin:
What does it mean to say money equals power equals energy? We all know that money does equal power over Others, but few stop to think about what that means in terms of a psychopathic One. This arrangement allows for, and in fact encourages, the psychopaths taking the power over Others and using it to psychopathic (unEthical) ends. And from an energy standpoint, We know that We can get power out of energy. But what is the link between the ability to control Others on the most foundational level (food, water, air) power and getting machines to do work power?
When a leader in a society needed work done, and before there was much in the way of non-Human/biological power, the energy of choice was of beast and Human. The beasts could more or less be gotten to do what was needed of them, but a Human was always required at the very least to get the beasts to do things, and They were needed for many things that beasts are incapable of – like bullying other Humans. Thus slavery with paid bullies emerged. As accounting for Our Human energy in that energy-scarce environment allowed for progress (albeit on the backs of the Ones who needed the behest of the Ones with the money/power), the practice evolved, using tokens from barter and trade, from shells and beads, on up to today’s electronic bits.
Today, however, We have access to free energy – the methods of extracting it have been avidly and aggressively suppressed and hidden. From the Earth’s magnetic field being tapped to extraction of clean, available anywhere 24/7, energy from the aether - the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe (electrogravitics), inventions have been pulled into black and gray projects, or patents bought and buried, with inventors threatened, ruined and killed, free energy has been kept from Humanity because it removes the need to account for Our energy completely. And when such accounting is removed, money is no longer needed and the power over Others it provides vanishes, leaving the present hegemony with Individual charisma as the only method of gaining power outside of personally being the bully.
Of course, money is a good motivator to get work done that no One WANTS to do but that is needed to keep things running smoothly. Yet the necessary work no One (or too few) wants to do today can be done by robot. (Imagine having the CHOICE to scrub One’s bathroom or having a robot do it…)
Some might say that there is not enough on this planet to support all of Humanity, but this is a lie, like “anthropogenic climate change,” perpetrated by the present hegemony, who feel there are too many of Us to effectively CONTROL. They want Us to believe that and accept the genocidal things They do (“geoengineering,” GMO, vaccines, etc.). “Well, it must be a good thing, because the planet cannot support all of Us!” But in truth, even before new technology such as vertical farming, and while the controlmind (government) pays farmers to NOT grow food, about 125% of the food We ALL could eat is produced on this planet. But because it is distributed by profit and not need/desire, 30-40% spoils before sale and is discarded. Money systems create this artificial scarcity. Imagine if We could have all the food We wanted…
Imagine if the profit/control motive was removed, and all food is grown organically and with care.
Imagine medicines that cure Us, not substances that "treat" Us and require ongoing purchases (and creating further ills that need to be "treated" for profit). Imagine cures coming out openly, and not suppressed because they threaten profit. At present there are many cures that have been stamped out, "debunked," and otherwise kept from Us because profit will be lost.
Imagine if We ALL were free to live as richly as each One of Us might choose… Birth rates will drop, as We discover all the things We presently would love to study and do but cannot because We cannot afford it (with some genocidal things already in the works sure to be a factor as well). So Many right now have only the choice of sex or TV as what there is to do when not being a wage slave. It is therefore no surprise that We see high birth rates amongst the poor, and low birth rates amongst the Ones who can afford to do what They love to do.
Imagine if the profit motive is removed from the design of things such that planned obsolescence is removed. Pride in workmanship will return, items will last, and the lion’s share of waste and trash production will vanish, putting far less strain on resources and making it a simple thing to keep the planet beautiful.
Imagine the slave’s creed called the work “ethic” replaced with a true Ethic, the Betterment Ethic. Imagine the bulk of Humanity making things better – from something as simple as a smile to cooperative good works upon this planet. We are a cooperative species except in scarcity, which is created artificially on this abundant planet by Our systems of money, by the accounting for Human energy input into said systems. We are, in money systems, forced to compete for survival despite the abundance all around.
Imagine Us all, subject to and judge of the three Laws of Ethics ONLY, where We solve by Ethical consensus each problem as it arises, rather than passing “laws” (statutes, bills, codes, edicts, mandates, regulations, ordinances, and all the rest of the loathsome vine of the legal system that supports the twin towers to psychopaths in power: money system and top-down controlmind), reporting problems locally on a network of sites that lead up to problems so big We ALL need to know about them to find an Ethical solution. If You’ve got a problem You’re not proud (willing) to report, You’re on Your own in solving for it. Avoiding the creation of a problem in Your quest for a solution is advised. (This is a solutocracy.)
Imagine all the work that’s being done, Human energy added, to the system that is non-productive, that serves only to keep the wealth on its way to the psychopaths’ control: cashiers, sales, collections, accounting, insurance, assessments, tax collecting, advertising, marketing, Wall Street, pawn shops, and every job in banking. All that energy applied, not to betterment, creating happiness, enjoyment, beauty, fun, spending time with loved Ones, but to moving that money along, sometimes getting a big enough gulp as a reward that We can pretend We are free most of the time. Imagine the percentage of People in these jobs who are “working for the weekend,” versus the percentage that get up every morning looking forward to Their day at work. Imagine freeing Them all to live as richly as Each might choose.
Yes, free energy = freedom for Humanity. Freedom from the control of the psychopaths to whom the bulk of the wealth on this planet is flowing through the systems of accounting for Human energy. Freedom from having to find some way to plug Our energy into the system, regardless of how well We like what We can find, just to survive.
When You get to the foundation of economics – of all things money – You are making sure each Human inputs enough energy to warrant each One’s existence – as if there is an obligation, once born to Our planet without consent, to make any justification at all. Through “trusts” and deceit Our birthright has been stolen, and on a vastly abundant planet, Humans owners slave and Humans owners starve.
There is a large number of things that tell Us that money use promotes evil. Though in the Bible We are told that the LOVE of money is the root, what feeds a root is its soil, and the soil in which evil grows is money itself. If We would battle evil on this planet, removing the need for all accounting of Human energy would be the solution, and for that, somehow, We need to make the free energy available to ALL Humanity. That will be the death blow to the power of evil.

NOTIFYJesus wasn't wrong about evil. Money is just a technology that makes commerce more efficient. It really isn't power. Hell, it's just conjured out of nothing. Power isn't. However, it's utility in commerce makes it influential on people, and that makes it convenient for those interested in power over people.
The fact is that you can live just fine without money. It's less fine than can be achieved with money, but many things which are undertaken for money can be eschewed altogether when you do a cost benefit analysis. As a result I live on very little money, and optimize my quality of life.
Today we have a plethora of technologies that enable individuals to produce goods and services directly, and after an initial investment in necessary tooling money is not required to produce those goods and services. Electrical power, food, water, household goods, and community services such as police, fire, and health care (and much, much more) are all either readily producible by individuals or neighbors, or about to be.
Folks interested in optimizing their quality of life should be considering the costs and benefits of attaining to desired goods and services through the mechanisms available, and not simply focus on earning money to pay others to provide them. It's important to keep in mind that the effort to earn money is immediately parasitized approximately 50% through taxation. That makes new tech to provide your own goods far more potentially profitable, since no taxable event occurs when you make your own light switch, rather than work for taxable wages, drive to the hardware store using taxed fuel in a government registered car, on taxpayer funded roads, where you pay the half of your wages left over from tax for a switch that is subject to sales tax, and approximately 90% of the price is wages, shipping, and profit for producers.
Aquaponics not only enables bespoke foods to be availabel fresh to the consumer, also the producer, but waste recycling, and avoidance of chemical pollution and other undesirable effects of industrial agriculture. When considering costs and benefits in a comprehensive way, even free food from industrial agriculture costs far more than organic food grown in house. Just medical issues alone ensure this is so, as pesticides and various endocrine disrupting chemicals in food or it's packaging have caused testosterone in the West to crash in the last few decades, and dramatically impacted not only the health of affected individuals, but their society (not to mention how these pollutants impact natural ecosystems) because testosterone affects how people act, vote, and live.
As time goes on, and the advance of technology increases faster and faster across all industries, the advantages of individual production are going to become more and more apparent, even for those less able to grasp complex systems. Less and less power will be wielded via the weapon of money, and higher quality of life will be passed on to our posterity, meaning more freedom and power over themselves.
I reckon the only thing that can actually prevent the inevitable collapse of institutional power is our extinction. We will be free, and the stars are at our feet.
Thanks!
While all that is true, it does not address the fact that when money is involved, psychopaths will be promoted to power. If the money is in trade and barter, the psychopaths will monopolize needed resources, gaining Their power over Us in that way. As soon as any token is introduced, They will do literally anything to get and keep the power over Others that such tokens provide.
With free energy, We can eliminate money in all its forms, and thereby cease promoting psychopaths to power over Others. If We cease delegating Our sovereign power over Self (government), We will cease seeing psychopaths in that arena, telling Us what to do. The goal is to have a society wherein psychopaths cannot be promoted.
You are incorrect in your assumptions, and so, although your conclusion is sorta correct it actually leads people astray from a solution.
With free energy, there is still the human who has to design and create. Even with tools to build the product at the push of a button, there is a lot of input that needs the human.
If i get my machines to plant pumpkins and you get your machine to plant melons, even with free energy, we still have a need for accounting the energies exchanged. (as your melons come in in the summer, and my pumkins in the fall... so a straight barter is not doable)
So, free energy will not eliminate money, what will do that is computer getting so good that they can actually track the exchange of goods/human energy to keep a balance of gifts.
Now, psychopaths love to be in positions of power, however, they cannot stay when exposed to light. When we expose their lies, they lose all power.
And so, we need to psychopath proof our offices of leadership. In the future we will elect people based on their compassion. (i know, weird, right?) And since psychopaths can only imitate compassion, they will lose.
Free energy devices will only come into existence after we will never use them for war.
So, that will be after we get all the psychopaths out of office and stop believing their lies, and learning to live with each other peacefully.
So, the free energy will not eliminate the power structures, the elimination of the power structures will bring free energy.
You say that free energy will not remove the need for People, and You are fully correct. The question is... If the button not pushed is creating a problem for You, would You push it? And if it is Your bliss to create the needed things, would You do it for merely the reputation, thanks, respect, and other social currency if You could live as richly as You choose? If it's no One's bliss and a robot can't create these things - if it's a problem and You could solve for it (earning praise, lauds, fame even for being the hero), would You do it?
If You love to farm, with robots to help, producing more than You can eat, would You not add the excess to a community cornucopia, taking from what is given by Others of what You want or need? And robots can do all the farming if there is no One who WANTS to do it.
Barter is a form of money, a foundational form. It still accounts for Your energy added. With free energy, barter and trade are unnecessary too.
So yes, free energy can indeed remove the need for money (100% of the cost of everything is energy).
And You are so very wrong about psychopaths and being in power. Let Us suppose You shared, with fewer than 100 Others, 70% of the planet's wealth. You are able to buy anything and anyOne You want to. Because You are a psychopath (as well as the Others on Your level), You do not choose to free Humanity to the abundance of this planet, but instead, want to control every One. You buy the corporations Most would call "Our governments." (Yes, they all are incorporated...) You buy the media. You buy medicine, education, legal entities, technology, militaries, food production, water treatment, ad infinitum. You buy the Ones You place in Your corporations as officers and CEO's (presidents). You write scripts for Your "news" corporations to put out to manipulate the perceptions of the Humans on Our planet. You use propaganda and lies to incite wars...
If You haven't picked up yet that I describe exactly what is going on now... Well. Anyway, lies will only be exposed if it's in the script for the lies to be "outed." If someOne catches a lie, Your media won't touch it. Your apparatus rolls right over it. Meanwhile You do things that justify stripping freedoms - psychological operations, be they false flags or hoaxes.
Needless to say... there is no way to "psychopath-proof" the offices of Your controlmind (government) corporation. You will never allow any moves to succeed.
We Humans are not warlike, but can be incited to war with the right lies and propaganda. It is the psychopaths in control that love Their willing (soul-diers) and unwilling ("collateral damage") sacrifices to Their sick egos. The psychopaths in control withhold free energy because it threatens Their power structure.
We have been indoctrinated from birth, propagandized and lied to, blamed (as "Humanity") for the things the psychopaths do, manipulated and played, and to top that off, Our medicines, land, food, water, air, and electromagnetic environment deliberately besmirched. By psychopaths. Psychopaths who are in control on Our planet.
I suggest You are looking at only a small piece of the picture, thinking that You need some Other to be Your "authority" (because You have been indoctrinated to think so), thinking that You elect anyOne, thinking that all We have to do is get rid of psychopaths in "Our government" and the problem will be solved. I suggest You are missing a huge section of the whole.
There is a simple and very easy way to psychopath proof government.
Stop calling it government.
But really, the structures we will make in the future will bring responsibility along with power.
It will bring transparency to all accounts.
And the future will also bring a shift in how we view leaders.
We will elect the most compassionate person.
The psychopath will not be able to win such a race.
With transparency in all transactions, a psychopath will not be able to hide their abuse of trust.
With responsibility built into the system, the psychopath will visibly fail for all to see.
We will learn to see/identify psychopaths and the destruction they wreck.
If you live long enough, you will see this come about.
(and the pyramidal structure of govern-cement that we see today will become a thing of the past)
Now, about transactions...
You do not give and give and give.
Unbalance happens that way.
So, there will be a money in the future that is much more meaningful for keeping track of people's energy exchanges. It is not like anything we have now. It would be like a blockchain attached to a specific individual or family that manufactures something. It isn't money that can be spent and spent and spent. It is an accounting of human energy and a balancing of giving.
In the future everyone will grow their own food.
It will just be what each person does.
Of course with modern equipment and greenhouses, this effort can be less that 10 hours per week.
i know i am leaving out huge pieces so that you can't get a whole view of what this future is like, but such is the problem with putting things in a small amount of words
I prefer a solutocracy for governance, where leaders of the moment emerge. When You start delegating Your sovereignty to Others, to solve all problems whether They are qualified or not, You run into the problems of A) psychopaths being drawn far more than non-psychopaths (most psychopaths are very good at appearing compassionate; They learn to fake it very well), B) moneyed interests swaying choices, C) counting votes (the vote-counters can decide who wins), and D) solutions that are not optimal.
As for this "give and give and give..." Did You miss the taking of what You need or want? You cling to the idea that We must get something in return for doing something We love to do. I love to create a blueprint for a foundation from which a truly free and Ethical society can emerge, and share it. These I have done and am doing. I offer it all freely, because I love to do so. (I am only on steemit as a platform for sharing, having raked in an account now worth, I am told, less than $15, which I overall ignore. Money is not My goal here. Awareness is.)
In the future, no One will have to grow Their own food. People like Me, with a black thumb all My life, rather loathing to muck around in dirt, and now disabled with bone spurs in My thumbs, will be able to spend Their time doing what They love to do. But Those who love to grow food may do so.
In Your future, People like me will be miserable and conceivably starving.
In the future We will be freed to follow Our bliss. People will do things because They love to do them, and if They earn positive social currency in the process - love, reputation, appreciation, thanks, respect, lauds, adoration, renown, fame, bragging rights - along with Self satisfaction, all the better.
The work "ethic" (a slave's creed) will be replaced with the Betterment Ethic (a true Ethic).
I, too, leave out a few things. But I will say, placing no burden on One's life is better than placing expectations. I am an anarcho-abundancist, with abundancism at the foundation, seeking an Ethical anarchy in a solutocracy. (And anarchy is not the same as pandemonium; it means no rulers, not no rules...) EveryOne will be Self sovereign, within the three Laws of Ethics.
I leave You with the blueprint videos:
Love always.
i did not miss it.
You NEVER take.
Sure, you are probably imagining commodity goods that are all identical, but in the future, those will be fairly rare.
One off pieces of art will be the norm for pretty much everything.
i am sure that you imagine a huge pile of toilet paper and everyone just taking what they need. But even if its a commodity as ubiquitous as toilet paper, there was still time and energy that went into its creation (besides electricity).
And the energy exchanges need to be well balanced.
It is far more important that you are currently thinking.
Like avoiding WWIII level of importance. (and i am not speaking figuratively)
No... I am not imagining things identicalness. And I envision factories that will robotically produce high-quality things (no planned obsolescence which is motivated by profit) that are needed but there are not enough People who WANT to create them, freely available upon request. These factories will be built in response to solving the problem of the lack, by People who earn reputation, respect, lauds, and even fame, for having solved the problem.
Human creations will indeed garner the most social currency - admiration, thanks, appreciation will be received for having done the creation.
As for the commodities... It's more like... "Hmm. I'm getting low. Let Me go to the web and see what is available. Ah, here's some." (typing in request) Soon the product is delivered - by robot, or by someOne who LOVES to deliver things (few of Those about, I wager...).
Yes, there will be storehouses, and yes, someOne will have solved for the problem of the need for the products (earning that social currency accounted for in Our hearts and minds).
My question to You is... With infinite energy available, why does exchange need to be "balanced," and what does "balancing" it mean in practical terms?
One really good term, is the Propertarian term Reciprocity.
And it means as much as having your in breaths equal your out breaths.
If these are not in balance you get ill.
Wars are started over the buildup of inequality. Meaning, you aren't balancing your gives and gets. (not that we are all equal)
Further, you seem to envision these futuristic manufacturing centers that require no inputs.
They don't exist.
Lets take our toilet paper manufacturer.
It requires wood pulp (or hemp) and that requires trees. That requires growing trees, managing their growth and then harvesting. These are not things that robots are especially good at. Computer assisted, yes. Completely user free, no.
And that is just the first step, and there are many more.
Further, in the future, getting rid of all pollutants will be of utmost importance, and that takes time and atttention.
So, there will be a "family" that will spend much of its time growing the trees to manufacture the paper.
Of course this family should receive a balance of goods for its service.
Yes, electricity might be free, but human time is not.
So... If everyOne may have as much as They choose... Live as richly as They choose... And I mean everyOne! Where is the lack of balance? What would We war about?
As for the "futuristic manufacturing centers..." No... They will requite inputs, but with AI, and robots to fix robots, the input will be minimal. And then, when a problem arises, Those who are affected will be motivated to solve for the problem.
And I would suggest leaving the trees alone and using hemp. And I am guessing You are not up on the level that robotics (and AI) is achieving these days. Farming, harvesting, transport, and all can easily be done with these tools.
Yes, there will be problems to solve for. Always. That is why what I have the blueprint for is not a utopia. It's just leaps, bounds, and wormhole trips better than what We have now.
I'm guessing You can't see fully what I have the blueprint for. I hope You come to grasp it.
Love always!
So, you put a person in a box, but provide them with all the food they need, warmth and shelter, why do they try to get out of the box?
What you are trying to convince me of is akin to keeping someone in the box. You believe that the material substance you are providing is all they need.
Your statement: "If all the things get made, then why should anyone care about how?"
What a horrifying life you are proposing.
You say you are not working on a utopia, but in my view, you are working on my hell.
But, you do not see it. Man does not live by bread alone...
What you are creating is a world where you think everyone will have enough, and be satisfied, but instead you are building a world where people's souls get ground down and people will lash out against the walls, but since they can't see them, they will start a war.
Between sugar pines (what makes good paper pulp) and hemp, it really depends on your location. Growing and selectively harvesting from a forest is in many cases better than a field of hemp.
[sigh] I do not see this box You think You see. Rather, We are presently boxed into slavery - where most of the wage slaves, having been indoctrinated into believing that They must "earn" the living that is fully Theirs by rights, do not try to get out of that box. They persist in looking for ways to plug Their energy in to acquire enough slave tokens to survive, with the hope that They can get enough from Their energy to afford to, in Their time off, do what They love to do. And mostly, They do not. Mostly Their options are TV and sex beyond daily life maintenance to occupy Their time (most "couch potatoes" are couch potatoes because They cannot afford to do what They would love to do...)
What I offer is an escape from that box. The ability to choose to do any Ethical thing They want to. To follow Their bliss, fulfill Their potential, make Their dreams come true - doing what They love to do. If having the option to do what You love to do is hell to You... I guess I seek to create Your hell.
Maybe You should familiarize Yourself more with what I offer the blueprint for...

About 3 hours of Your time - all short vids which can be watched in short bursts, or binge-watched.
Do you know how many times you have said "you are just not seeing" "you don't get" "you just don't understand"... ?
i suggest you remove those from your vocabulary.
It may be that i have thought upon this problem longer and harder with more brain-power. And so, you are trying to tell a master about what they should have learned in kindergarten.
Anyway, what i am speaking about is why your blueprint fails.
To paraphrase you, "Emotions are not important to a marriage".
That sounds really silly, however, you are ignoring a huge problem with people.
Or, maybe you can look at it this way.
Why are welfare people all fat and lazy? They have everything paid for them, why aren't they giving their time doing what they love and making things?
Huh??? When did I say emotions are not important to a marriage??? Of course they are!!! As for "welfare People..." Geez. First, I used to work in welfare, and plenty of Them were NOT "fat and lazy." Most of Them wanted to learn skills and get out of the situation They were in. Yes, there was a small percentage that were not trying.
And You think the pittance They give on welfare allow People to go travel the world, do archaeological work, do sculptures, and any number of other things that require money, to do them? Really??? They are no more free to do what They love to do than the working poor.
And FYI... I have thought on these problems for 50 years and more - since I was a child. Have dedicated My life to grasping the problem and developing a solution. So You are trying to tell a master what She has long since examined and seen the issues with.
As to what I say... I do think You lack vision. And I will say what I think. It's Your responsibility to choose how You feel about what I say.
I have always been a futurist. I see the future about as well as most people remember the past. So, talking with people has always ended up with me being misunderstood, ridiculed or worse.
Saying to a person from the 50s, hey we will create this thing called the internet and it will change everything. And when they laugh at you, does it help to say, "you lack vision"? No, it doesn't help to get your point across at all.
You were not comprehending what i was saying, trying so hard to keep saying your same thing, so i tried to use some analogies.
So, what is the difference between all those welfare people and an entrepreneur that starts out with no money? Well, the welfare people had a place to sleep and food. But that is not the reason.
The reason is what i have been trying to clue you in on.
You can't give and give and give.
You need reciprocity.
You need an equal exchange of energy.
If you do not get this you will either get sick or bitter, or both.
And about the welfare people, you cannot get and get and get.
That makes you apathetic and resentful.
So, in the future, there will be a money like thing that will be for accounting energy flows over a group larger than your family.
You only need an "equal exchange of energy" if energy is scarce.
You only have so much energy. You only have so much time.
i am not speaking about electricity.
And what is wrong with the payment of social currency? Accounted for in Our hearts and minds, rather in physical tokens that can be hoarded and used to control Others?
I've been thinking on this comment now a day or so, as you recommended it to me. You are heading in the right direction: people are cool, and it's a good thing to be a blessing to people. I approve. So I'm not gonna wrangle over details, as is my wont. You're not any more wrong than I am, I am sure. But...
I simply cannot disagree more strongly. Life is an act of war, and not just for people. Every blade of grass is at war with every other blade of grass. Every tree struggles with it's neighbors daily for light, water, and nutrients. Every living cell is at war with the universe to live, every minute of every day. Folks have actually made time lapse movies that reveal trees killing each other over years. They live slow. We don't notice much, unless it's happening in our yard. Even then, we don't live on that timescale, so don't see it happening.
People are the most warlike of creatures extant. We are the most deadly predator. We're particularly violent to each other, in fact. Of prehistoric human skulls recovered to date, of great interest to archeologists is that ~25% of them have a fatal blunt trauma wound on the left side of the forehead. Realize that this means that they were hit in the head by someone right handed.
We may act peaceful when times are good and no ones is pissing in our cornflakes, but that's a temporary thing. Somebody's always pissing in our cornflakes.
Be good, but be real while you're at it. Failing to expect failure guarantees it.
Here's the thing, We will fight in scarcity for what is available, I agree. We can be indoctrinated to fight for kings/the state/rulers who want to have more control over greater lands. But as the statement that was made - I forget by whom - that We could not be coaxed into war barring a "new Pearl harbor" illustrates, it takes some perceived threat before We will choose war.
And this tells Me that, indeed, We aren't warlike Beings. Self defense is not a warlike nature. It is a survival function, and is reactionary at its root. Yes, We will fight, but only if Our survival is threatened or if We are psychopaths seeking power over Others. And only about 1% of Us are genetic psychopaths across the board. (In a society run by psychopaths, secondary psychopathy will emerge - Ones who have learned to shut down Their caring, compassion, love, and empathy for Other - being mind controlled, severely abused, severely indoctrinated, or just downright desperate, which is a state We are kept in - but even still, only about 5% of Us are consistently psychopathic from all this.)
Without scarcity, We are cooperative, and loving, caring, compassionate, and empathetic. In fact, though such societies have been few and far between, on islands where there was plenty, the society was very peaceful, happy, loving, and and willing to help as They could. Of course, the psychopathic hegemony working on controlling Our planet disrupted all that...
And so... I must presume that in a society where psychopaths are not promoted to power, where the abundance of Our planet is flowing freely to All, where We focus on Ethically solving for any problems that arise rather than passing "laws" and enFORCING them, what We will see is an eradication of secondary psychopathy, and the 99% of Us can solve for any problems the 1% create - and that 1% will have only Their personal charisma to have any power over Others - which will not get Them far in controlling society.
We are (99% of Us) loving, caring Beings, who will only war when a threat to Our survival is perceived. Remove such threats and We are peaceful.
Unfortunately, you misapprehend the context of this statement (the source is the Plan for a New American Century, produced by some Zionazi think tank under Bush II. Authors included Richard Perle, Dov Zakheim, and others of their fiendish ilk):
This is because the overlords would fain abandon the quality of life that otherwise would cause us to organically resort to war - and against themselves, as the destroyers of good and easy life. That new Pearl Harbor was a threat to our quality of life, and why so many were willing to undertake war. That was piss in our cornflakes. It was blamed on al Qaeda, and the fact that al Qaeda is the tool of the USG (created during the Carter administration,
when George HW Bush was Director of the CIA, primarily handled by Zbigniew Brzezisnski) is concealed, unknown to most, otherwise we'd have hung the perps on gibbets instead of attacking their minions in the ME.
Poverty is pissy cornflakes, and why societies kept from increasing their quality of life are warlike. Further it is our natural state. Only civilization enables us to live so fat on the land, and only that good life keeps us from killing everything that can die to get us that good life.
We are war itself. Life is war. We have created peace by building communities. Take those away and, as you see across the striving ME, we wage war. I suspect this is why psychopaths yet persist in our genome, as their lack of capacity to be socialized under any circumstances grants them utlility in time of war. When we fully adopt personal means of producing the goods and services necessary to that quality of life, the institution of war will become the only threat to that quality of life that grants peace, and then the psychopaths will serve a purpose in our genome no more.
Sociopathy can be created in ordinary men. Hunger drives cannibalism. Psychopaths, as Daumer proves, are just innately cannibals, and are threats to our full bellies when hunger is no threat except by the conflicts psychopaths create for their amusement. War is the enemy, and psychopaths the source of it. Full bellies are the source of peace, for without them good men seek psychopaths to lead them.
We are not inherently peaceful. We are peaceful when war threatens our full bellies.
I note that we essentially agree on this fact. It's simply the question of chickens and eggs, of carts and horses, upon which disagreement depends. In a state of nature men are hungry and will eat. Insofar as war is necessary to take food, we become war itself in such circumstances. This is why ~25% of prehistoric people died by murder. Hunger is that essential threat to our security that always lingers on the lives of the poor.
This is why decentralization will make political power obsolete: war is politics by other means, and war is a threat to our full bellies.
I like decentralization just fine. Except that I would like to see a central problem-solving site, where problems are reported locally, with up to a planetary reach for solutions. With leaders of the moment emerging for each problem, and solutions Ethical. No "authority" solving all problems as (S)He sees fit.
Interesting that, overall, the People in poverty are quite peaceful. Yes, a higher handful become violent in Their desperation than in more affluent areas.
Psychopathy includes a number of "flavors," including sociopathy and narcissism. Cannibalism is not fully a function of psychopathy, though (except in desperation) it is found nearly always in a psychopath. I highly recommend this vid I mirrored:
Yet, in the same breath you state "No "authority" solving all problems as (S)He sees fit."
Of course, a centralized mechanism creates exactly that: an authority in control of solutions.
Myriad vectors for solutions and improvements are extant now. Any central authority will be subjected to psychopaths seeking to control it. I recommend abandoning the native human psychological tendency to seek a leader, someone to follow that enables your ingroup to focus on specific undertakings. This has evolved because institutions have always created more power, and this power is specifically the same that enables war.
It is becoming obsolete, and the sooner it does, the sooner peace becomes secure.
Psychopathy is neurological, a physically inherited disability to properly socialize. Sociopathy is a learned behaviour. Narcissism is an aspect of psychopathy, and a greater tendency to narcissism creates a greater potential to sociopathy.
CRISPR may enable individuals suffering from heritable diseases like psychopathy to be cured. We can hope, both for their sakes and our own.
You mention how income disparity, not poverty itself, apparently is causal of societal violence. GINI is a way to measure this, and societies that feature the widest disparity between the mean and average wealth feature the most violence. However, when poverty is so severe as to cause famine, which is the reason I use full bellies as the standard for maintenance of peace or resorting to war, people become predatorially violent, or die.
The fact is that no social policy(s) or force will effect full bellies like will personal competence to produce goods. That is decentralized production. Neither will any social policies be able to prevent this. Firearms are the perfect tool to enable thuggish minions to enforce institutional power on the ground, and they're 1000 years old. Vastly improved security tech exists, and has existed for a long time, but corporations don't sell the means to disempower corporate power to individuals, for obvious reasons, nor do they teach folks how to learn them.
Individuals means of production will end corporate power, institutional power, government itself. Nothing else will, and no tangents like free power, UBI, free love and etc. change that in the least. It is trivially simple to prevent a gang of thugs with firearms from breaking down your door using modern tech. Meat prisons are fragile, subject to sonic, emf, and various biological forces that completely disable them from acting.
This is coming, and nothing can stop it. Every 3D printer, garden shed CRISPR lab, and mesh network node decreases the power of institutions and multiplies the power of the individuals undertaking any of them by the number of people undertaking them.
(((they))) can try to stop it, and have delayed it, but as long as clever monkeys tinker and learn the ways physics makes possible to do things, it cannot be prevented. Freedom is inevitable.
You're not getting it. The site is open source. Leaders of the moment emerge to solve the problems. No One has "authority." This is what is called a solutocracy:
Primary psychopathy is genetic, manifesting in neurological ways... Secondary psychopathy would be learned "sociopathy," emerging in societies run by primary psychopaths. I know this from decades of study into psychopathy.
Open source is great. It allows folks that have the esoteric knowledge of code to verify software is not malware, or buggy. Most folks don't have that esoteric knowledge today, and that is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. Indeed, the phrase 'open source' isn't particularly well understood by many, and they assume it's a magic shield that prevents bad things from coming of it.
That isn't so, and unless the code has been thoroughly vetted by highly competent coders trusted by users, nasty back doors, malware, and debilitating bugs may well be features of open source code. Almost none of the non-coding public makes any attempt to ascertain whether code has been audited, even if it's open source and auditable. Open source and free software is estimable, and I don't denigrate folks making it, using it, or auditing it one bit, but it's no guarantee of benevolence.
Centralization however, does come with a guarantee: some one will try to control it in order to aggrandize themselves for financial or other purposes, usually political. It doesn't matter if the coder(s) never intended for their centralized mechanism to be used by criminals to do harm. It doesn't matter if all the other folks using it intend no harm. What matters is that centralization is a vector for control, and it's also becoming obsolete as decentralization of every tech and industry continues.
I'm glad you are preferring open source software over proprietary, but that doesn't address ponorous corruption of centralized mechanisms at all. There are as many vectors for suggestions that emergent leaders are capable of being informed by as you could care to name, and many, many people are going to use a wide variety of them, despite your recommendations or the preferences of emergent leaders.
Further, as AI burgeons and continues to disseminate expert control of an immensely broad variety of systems, leaders, even emergent ones, are going to not only be less and less capable of addressing the decentralized problems that are born of decentralized solutions, they're going to be less and less competent to even be aware of them, and increasingly irrelevant going forward.
Decentralization disenfranchises centralization, and complete decentralization completely eliminates social power. Institutions of every kind, though they deploy open source and auditable mechanisms or not, are going to become utterly irrelevant to everyone outside the institution, and increasingly limit those within them, rather than expand their capabilities. This is because centralized institutions work by focusing a part of the power of the individuals that comprise them on a single issue, whether making salty snacks or waging war. As the capabilities of individuals enable them personally to surpass the abilities of institutions through the possession of means of production, participation in institutional mechanisms decreases the breadth and depth of their personal power, because some of that power is deployed by the institution.
Leaders are inherently granted power by their followers, and it is disingenuous to claim that they don't have authority, even if it's voluntarily availed them. This is not the same criticism as I have been making, but it is nonetheless relevant. Misconceptions of what power is, what centralization is, and how individuals possessing means of production completely obviate those things when nominally competent, or assissted by bespoke and personally owned and operated AI, as Excel is for example, creates endeavors that will fail, even though undertaken with the best intentions.
Open source is simply publicly auditable, like Steem code. It isn't natively decentralized, and neither is Steem, because the vast majority of stake is held by ~a couple dozen individuals, and that stake is the power to effect the code. How many people do you know that completely uderstand Steem code? I bet none, same as me. But Steem code is completely open source. It isn't transparent to non-coders, and even competent coders are unlikely to grasp all of it holistically.
Perhaps we should acknowledge we do not grasp ourselves the potential to provide the illimitable solutions that are going to eventuate as centralization continues to be replaced with decentralized and personally determined means of attaining to personal undertakings. I do not claim to know all the ways that folks can develop security for their homes, persons, and property, but I do know that control over security mechanisms will increasingly be personally conceived, designed, and built.
No leader will effect that decentralization for all people. No centralized mechanism could, and this is why decentralization will ultimately eliminate institutional power completely. In the meantime, we have centralized mechanisms and institutional power to reduce, and interjecting some preferable institutional power during that transcendence of institutional power will be highly resisted by folks dedicated to the extant centralized system, and a hindrance to those intent on being free of institutional power completely, due to the fact that institutional power is inevitably corrupted.
Even sites that are open source, and leaders that are emergent. I do get it. I know I cannot get all, or even enough, of the myriad ways people will make institutions irrelevant, and thus know that seeking to impose on them new and improved institutions will not meet all the bespoke needs and means individuals will undertake. I gently suggest that neither do you. It cannot be done without hindering the development of decentralization.
Every institution I am aware of, no matter how holy and beneficial it was originally, has been corrupted, and the longer corruption has eroded them, the more profane they have become, until even the sacred church of those most devout and faithful is now widely and irrefutably known as one of the worst vectors of child sex abuse the world has ever seen. Who today would accuse Jesus of intending to burn people at the stake? Corruption utterly deranged the original purpose of the institution, and allowed evil criminals to use it for their own aggrandizement. No institution is immune from this.
Institutions are inherently incapable of being incorruptible. Decentralization will necessarily destroy them all, completely, in the fullness of time. It is no disrespect to you personally for me to fail to invest any effort in understanding even a new and improved institutional mechanism now, knowing that decentralization is inevitable, and incapable of being institutionalized, or even tolerating institutions of any kind, benevolent, sacred, or harmless as they may be, and that any effort to effecti institutionalization today can but hinder the eradication of war and evil overlords, and delay the freedom of good people everywhere.
They will try. As people provide their own resources, they have less and less need for money. We don't need 'free energy' to be free of money. We need to be free of trade. Making our own goods and services does that.
Free energy does not exist. We swim in a sea of energy, but extracting it requires effort and goods. That's not free. I had a solar panel on my truck. It cost $100, and fed four batteries, each of which cost money too. The energy was not free, because the tools necessary to extract it were not free, nor was my labor to assemble the system without value.
I have written a short story in which bespoke currencies were created for a single transaction or purpose. Psychopaths cannot even attain such currencies, much less monopolize them. Individual power increases versus institutions every time technology advances, and has been since the invention of the pointy stick. Presently institutions are on the ropes, as we begin to be able to create our own luxury goods, bespoke services, and commodities alike without any need for the contributions of industry.
It's a matter of time before promotion itself, the ability to have power over another, is utterly obsolete. Perhaps then psychopaths will get the help they need, maybe even to become capable of proper socialization, instead of being dangers to people and society. I can feel only pity for such as need only power, when power is not possible.
I suppose that is the difference between normal folks and psychopaths.
While much of what You say is true, and indeed initially, it will cost to get the extraction units going, given 100% of the cost of everything is energy, sooner or later, all the cost will be removed. And solar is very dirty to produce in terms of building the units and very inefficient – I recommend We use electrogravitics see this vid:
I suggest You read what I wrote above to builderofcastles...
Again, this is not possible because there is no such thing as perpetual motion. Everything will always have a cost.
I will have a look at your video, and your reply to @builderofcastles soon, and may add to this reply. Electrogravitics sounds like superstition, about which I know only that it sounds spoopy, so withold judgment pending further investigation. If it isn't based on rigorous science I won't find it compelling, and I have low expectations due to the conflation of two very separate things in the name. Electricity and gravity aren't directly linked, and are so disparate that conflation is practically certain to be the result of magical thinking, rather than sound science.
Gravity isn't a force. It is simply the effect of mass on spacetime. There are no gravitons. There are electrons. The two are as different as sound and light.
Thanks!
What's perpetual motion have to do with it? We can draw energy from the "aether," the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe.
I KNOW what it is and that We can use it to draw on that energy. Just know that They have removed most of the data, but to be sure, it is very much based in science. When Dr. paul A. LaViolette came up with His counter theory to Einstein's bullpucky (subquantum kinetics - SQK), He thought He had made an error, as it was predicting when He later discovered was being experimentally proven by T. Townsend Brown. He was greatly relieved to see His prediction had sound science and experiment behind it.
And actually... Yes, gravity is a part of the electromagnetic function. It's like ice/water/steam, only electricity/gravity/magnetism. And it sounds like You're buying the einsteinian bunk pushed because it doesn't predict the energy in the "aether."
And by the way... SQK is euclidean, and is predicting all the "mysteries" in einsteinian physics... I'd say it's vastly closer to the truth than the theories pushed as "truth" in Our school system.
I got a couple minutes into the video, and that was enough. I have long been aware of Brown's work. I am not a physicist, but know enough to be certain gravity control was not a result of his research, nor was power being drawn from an 'aether'. It'd be lovely if it was, but it wasn't.
Gravity isn't a force. There are no gravitons. Mass interacts with spacetime, and that interaction IS gravity. It's an effect of other things, just as sound is simply gas or liquid disturbed by some other thing. There are no particles of sound, no soundons. There is no aether, other than spacetime.
Be well, but be real.
LOL! And I know that is exactly what They were getting. That it went into black projects because that is what They were getting. A couple of minutes of watching is... Well... Less than admirable, at the least. And might be seen as disrespectful. The video is less than 10 minutes long, FFS.
If You are not willing to offer My work even 10 minutes... [shrug]
And I'm as real as it gets, dear One. To be sure.
