How will research be directed in an Equal Money System?

In the Equal Money System, research will be done from the starting point of actually being supportive to life. In the current profit-driven system, all research is conducted for the sake of making profits- if the research may not yield monetary profits, it is simply not done. In this current system, money is required to fund the research, therefore, no research is done in the benefit of the majority of people who have no money, as you cannot make a profit form them and they do not have any money to fund the research themselves.

Thus only corporations have become the ones that have enough money to fund research, and they fund research which is in the interest of the company/business- without consideration of life and only in consideration of making profits- as that is how a corporation has legally been designed to function- being required by law to act in the interest of it’s shareholders.

This is how we end up with research that for example in the medical industry, is not geared toward supporting the human in ending diseases, illnesses, and dependencies, but rather finding ways to ‘treat’ the diseases and such, because treatment over time makes profits.

This is but the tip of the iceberg, in terms of how our current system corrupts all research- such that despite our apparently advanced science and technology, so many suffer from perfectly treatable and preventable causes.

This will not happen in an Equal Money System, since there will be no profit- research will simply be done, by those who truly would like to do it, who have actual interest in a field and would like to actually contribute to the betterment of all life. The vast majority of research that’s done today, which is mostly research into pharmaceuticals or various marketing research, etc, no longer will be done- and we will be able to do actual research into this physical reality and how it works, which is quite vast, and we still have barely scratched the suface of understanding.

In the Equal Money System the real fun will begin and we’ll be able to do research that all life will benefit from- and science and technology can finally fulfill the promise it’s always given- to lead to better quality of living for all.

Equal Money System FAQ- How will land be distributed if not by ownership? How will it be decided which house a person gets?

How will land be distributed if not by ownership? How will it be decided which house a person gets?

In an equal Money System- it’s about self responsibility- meaning that which you take on as ‘yours’ you take on as your responsibility and you thus have the responsibility to care for such thing in a way that’s best for all and cause no harm to another. So, rather than owning something, you’ll be responsible for it.


In an Equal Money System you won’t be able to buy slaves to do your ‘dirty work’ for you- such as to clean your house or work your land for you- thus whatever land or house you have you would be responsible for the upkeep and how it is utilized.


So from this perspective, individuals are going to eventually choose houses that they are actually able to effectively take care of, depending on how much effort they’re willing to put into it. In cases where a house or land is not being properly taken care of making sure to keep it sanitary and not a hazard to others, then there must be intervention to not allow the abuse to continue.



And land will not be able to be abused as it is now, where those with money to can simply purchase the land and purchase the ‘rights’ to use it as they see fit in order to make a profit without regard of the effects of the use of that land on all life, on the wildlife and people living on or near that land, as is done so currently– like you have now where whole landscapes are altered completely disrupting the natural habitats of the local wildlife, which can alter our ecosystem in ways that cause extensive harm to life.


Land is not here to be bought and sold to make a profit off of it- it’s here as a gift which can provide enough for all to thrive when it is not being abused for profits, and should not be allowed to be used in such a way that it cause harm and disregard life, as this is a major factor in where we find ourselves now, in the current state of the world, where busineses and corporations are literally running-amok with the earths resources, causing untold harm and suffering throughout existence.


In the Equal Money System we’ll thus utilize land and housing as responsible custodians according to what we’d actually like and are able to take responsibility for – this will eventually bring the end to the abuse of nature, and we’ll have much less problems and issues arising from the displacement of species from their habitats and the altering of the land or bodies of water on it, and such things will only be done if it’s of benefit to all- as we’ll actually be free to do that which is supportive, and no longer be able to be forced and enslaved into doing things that cause abuse and bring harm to life.

Will there be a Meat Industry in the Equal Money System, and if so, how will it work?

The meat industry will no longer exist as it does today, where much of the industry involving breeding and slaughtering animals for human consumption exist merely for the sake of profit. In the current Capitalist system, there is no regard for animal life and animals are seen and treated as lesser beings that are here simply for us to utilize without regard or consideration of these beings and their place within the ecosystem here on earth- the ecosystem which support us to exist, and where the quality of our life will be equal to the quality of the ecosystem in which we live- thus as we degrade the ecosystem, we degrade ourselves as well.


The consequences of meat production on vast industrial scales is various diseases, viruses, and chemicals being within the meats that are then consumed by humans, causing all sorts of health issues, which then lead to further profits for the medical industries which treat diseases and such. The consequence of this being massive suffering which is completely unnecessary, of both human and animal.


Large scale ‘factory farms’ also produce a lot of waste run-off that pollutes the surrounding environment in various ways, such as toxic gases that are released by decomposing manure, or by animal waste contaminating the water supply. The antibiotics that the animals are often injected with to keep down disease due to living in overcrowded unsanitary spaces also enter into the environment causing many deleterious effects.

 

Eventually it may be possible we can to get to a point where animals are no longer killed to be consumed, but rather can be consumed once they have naturally come to the end of their life. Or a suitable replacement can be found/developed which could provide what the human requires rather than using animals. So that animals will be given the basic right of being able to exist and prosper, like we would want for ourselves.

 

These possiblities and more can only be explored in an Equal Money System where the system is based on doing what’s best for all life. The profit-driven nature of the current system means that research is only done when a profit can be made from it. It’s through and within this current system that these abuses are actually allowed to take place, since the meat industries can afford to pay lobbyists to get support for legislation that support the business of meat production, at the expense of alll life; human, animal or otherwise.


The Equal Money System will be the key to finally being able, as a species, to do what is actually best for life. Then we will be free to walk a process of transformation from dis-ease to well-being, giving ourselves the chance to really thrive here; to stop the survival game and be able to enjoy life here, fully, in all forms.

What Mises Missed- Ludwig von Mises’ ‘Slight’ Oversight

Somebody recently brought up the topic of Ludwig von Mises and the book he wrote titled “Human Action”. Since I was not familiar with this book, I set out to investigate. I easily found a pdf and began reading from the very beginning. Now, I didn’t even make it through the forward, and already have found an obvious point of dishonesty, which brings into question the validity of what’s to be presented within this book, as it shows the starting point is of deception. Here is the quote-

“The liberal champions of equality under the law were fully
aware of the fact that men are born unequal and that it is precisely
their inequality that generates social cooperation and civilization.”

What’s being said here is that inequality creates cooperation- the ignorance of this statement is appalling and could only come from a person who has never been on the losing side of inequality-and what do you know- he was born to a wealthy family.

In fact, inequality is the result of the lack of cooperation- it is the result of competition with one another- wherein we seek to gain at the expense of another.

When you look at what inequality means- that some live in lack of their basic needs which cause extreme physical suffering- to suggest that this is acceptable because it apparently ‘creates cooperation’ is quite a misconsideration and quite delusional- unfortunately this happens as a result of the fact that one tend to only understand what they have actually experienced and are not aware of what they have not experienced themself in their particular life- if you’ve never experienced what it’s like to not have access to your basic needs, only then is it possible to justify such an experience and accept and allow it to exist.

Obviously it can’t be said that ‘cooperation actually exist when inequality exist- if actual cooperation existed because cooperation implies that we’d be existing here in such a way that we’d all thrive and none would be allowed or made to suffer. That is the result of cooperation- so if ‘real’ cooperation was going on- no one would be allowed to suffer.

Any ‘cooperation’ that require inequality for it to happen is obviously not a desirable or effective ‘form of cooperation’ as it doesn’t lead to actual cooperation, if it still allow inequality to exist. As long as we accept a system in which we must compete against one another, real cooperation cannot exist- because the design of the system is actually to pit us against one another- it is the epitome of non-cooperation. You can see this manifested everywhere- look how businesses must compete against each other driving each other to have to make products as cheaply as possible, companies having ‘patents’ on things to ensure that they are the only one who can develop a product, and thus be the only one to profit from it, etc. How much farther in terms of technology could we be if businesses could work together? If all humanity worked together as one- what could we accomplish? The possibilities are daunting. The only way we’ll find out, is by ending inequality and giving everyone the equal support to life that only a few currently have- no one should suffer.

When we have a system that’s based on equality, real cooperation will actually be possible for once- we will no longer be individuals competing against one another for survival- or one country against another, all here on the same earth- sharing the same planet. This is what we stand for at Desteni- real cooperation. This is why we are busy working on and researching a new system which will be based on equality- so that we’ll actually be able to live here in a way where we can coexist and work together and combine our efforts- as many hands make light work.
