Understanding where humanity is headed is really painful when one is awakened. And watching the other people's perceptions headed for "mass collision course" without them being aware of it, feels extremely surreal. It reminds us that we have to remain humble at all time. It is the ego that makes one project false assumptions about what the system is... and is not.
Just like other Silicon Valley businesses, Amazon does not get most of its earnings from the online sales but data mining: selling your data to other corporations and allowing them to target their ads. So the more people keep buying stuff, the more the trap gets intricate. That's the Matrix. Living below one's means is absolutely necessary. Not to save money, because it has no real value. It never had.
We ARE the commodities, and they are after our minds, because if the mind is free, advertisement (aka control) wouldn't be such a "gold mine". But Amazon took it up to the next level and now delivering data to government agencies on a "golden platter". They are only interested in two things: the DNA and the mind, which they hope to farm 24/7, once the brain interface is ready for the market, and it will be relatively cheap.
We are getting close to sinking into absolute irrelevance. It no longer is sci-fi... it is here now developing, less than 10 years ahead.
Bob Sheer: ... it is key to understand as Georges Orwell pointed out, and others have, if you do not have a private space, if you cannot be alone with your thoughts, your associations, your books, you cannot have freedom
That Huxley quote is very true one hand but on the other is completely biased as the victors always rewrite history. The true history of mankind is very different. As a result humans suffer from amnesia and cannot improve. But knowledge is controlled by "colluding special interests" and their wealth used to remain in power. This alone makes the case for a money-free society.
The ultimate distraction is the "money chase", which is clearly more than ever "the carrot and the stick" in this environment. Paying to stay alive should be regarded as a crime against humanity, because we all now can see where it led society. It is right in our faces.
PS: EC do fully support robotics but not self-improving machines. Robots are necessary to help shape the money-free society, and take over all the dirty, dangerous, tedious and repetitive tasks.
ABB to build the world’s most advanced robotics factory in Shanghai
In another terrifying development for those who believe that android advancement will lead to the extinction of the human race, robots will soon be building other robots in a $150 million factory in China. Swiss engineering group ABB plans to have the Shanghai-based factory up and running by the end of 2020 and it will produce robots for the Asian market. ABB’s industrial machines are used in various industries to build everything from automobiles to electronic devices. (davidicke.com)

Vox Asks: Is it Time We Started Adding Lithium to Water Supply?
In an article entitled “How our drinking water could help prevent suicide,” Vox highlights psychiatry professor Nassir Ghaemi and his claims that the practice would be beneficial for the American populace.
“High-lithium areas, he says, have suicide rates 50 to 60 percent lower than those of low-lithium areas,” Vox writes, citing a study co-authored by Ghaemi......... https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/10/24/18010592/future-perfect-podcast-lithium-drinking-water-suicide

We live in a system that teaches us to objectify one another, to hate on the basis of fictitious fabricated identities, and to repress our true natures. Some thing needs to change big time. I hope that posts like these can help wake some people up to the truth.
yes big time... you are correct. Tnx for your comment @kingofworms
You will like the blog I uploaded yesterday
Robots necessary...
Or robots terrifying...
My brain hurts looking at this bullshit. I see you have given yourself an extra few years to fleece the steemit system. Now you graciously grant us 10 years instead of 4-6 years. I would love to see the science behind that 4 year extension. :-D
P.S. Amazon makes the lion's share of its profits from its web services business. The bullshit never ends with you.
Yes NON-AI robots are necessary to free the human potential, what is wrong with that? I posted the video to show as how it is IMPERATIVE for society to change. You didnt get it, sorry for you
Within 10 years is not MY projection but THEIRS... but since you think elon musk is speaking BS about transhumanism, why do YOU bother at all then?
In some posts I will speak of 7, 8 years, depending on the data I read that week. Unlike you I have been following the topic for 20 years.
YOU MISS THE POINT ABOUT AMAZON, it is now teaming up with gov agencies, working on a totalitarian and technocratic society. Thank you to power/money/wealth. Same patterns throughout history.
right ignore the MONEY in the advertising business and the control they have on their clients... LOL... brainwashing helps sales a lot... , which you refute despite the overwhelming evidence that this blog established again, but since you cannot debunk the data, you do after "the AI time frame".... lamentable
You do not understand the basics of freedom. And think that buying ourselves into oblivion is freedom instead.
Money does not define freedom but the intellect, the mind, and if the intellect is enslaved/brainwashed, so is the physical body. so here it is again now, i know you wont watch anyway, but that is just a try... did you watch the Century Of The Self yesterday by any chance?
PS: atheism and senseless materialism/darwnism are highly damaging to the brain, you are the evidence of it. LOL
Elon talking out his ass?
Just a bit of advice, 10 years is really too far away for anyone to give a shit. If you want to pump up some hysteria, you need to bring that number down.
Free markets have worked every day I have been alive. For instance, I just had my dinner that I voluntarily exchanged some of my money to get. How will I get my dinner in a "money free" economy?
And hey Bob Sheer, whoever the fuck you are, I can voluntarily be alone with my thoughts, my associations, and my books. So I guess I am free, yea?
sure you will get your dinner in a money free society, they are many people who will make it happen. not because of demand vs supply but the need to contribute without the stress of competition. The infrastructure is in place anyway. You may have to wait a little bit longer but you will get it.
yep corporate buybacks are skyrocketing, the housing and auto markets giant bubbles and consumers are brainwashed into spending and walking in debt thread mills.... interest rates are rising.... free market is so goooood, they REALLY WORK!!!!
You do not comprehend transhumanism... of course instead of acknowledging that, you call it BS.... gotcha :)
Where will I go to get my dinner? And why will they give it to me? Will they give me anything I demand? What if everyone decides they want to eat beef fillets for dinner? There is not enough to go around. Who will get the limited amount of fillets and who won't? Every restaurant will be demanding tons of fillets from the cow growers. Which restaurants should the cow growers give their beef to? And how much? Do the cow growers have to give the restaurants everything they are demanding? How can they when there isn't enough to go around? Who will decide what stores get what meat? What about the supermarkets? Can I walk in and fill up my cart with whatever I want? Can the supermarkets demand whatever they want from the cow growers? How will the cow growers decide who gets the meat, the restaurants, or the supermarkets? What will they base their decision on?
And this is just one item.
Imagine that scenario for every single food item, and every other necessity, and also every luxury item. This is why a "no money" economy will not ever work. It would turn into a cluster-fuck of unanswerable questions.
The infrastructure is built on a free market pricing system. Look how the free market would handle the fillet problem. Everyone starts demanding fillets. Restaurants can only get so much from their cow growers, so they raise the price of fillets until fewer people buy them, lowering the demand. The cow growers see that all their restaurants are demanding fillets, so they can raise their prices too as restaurants fight over the limited supply. Restaurants buy less fillets as they start to cost too much. Customers start to buy less because they cost too much. And a new balance between supply and demand is achieved.
This is the battle that is being fought, over every economic good, every day.
the current society is absolutely wasteful, and that is mainly why we work so much... reduce the waste and contribute less.
You also assume that money is an irresistible incentive... yes we can see that, we are all economic slaves now. Wrong.
Until you begin to think beyond these fallacies, you wont be able to fathom a society where people are aware that overproduction is a crime against nature and humanity. And that man's needs will have to comply to that.
These two last blogs have established that consumers are BRAINWASHED, yet you continue to argue in favor of a massive distortion of demand vs supply. The "I want it now" culture will have to be abandoned if we want to quit overproducing. Yes, there will be waiting lines every now and then, especially for furnitures and cars. Each mode has its downsides, but waiting to have your dinner is BETTER THAN DESTROYING the environment.
There is absolutely nothing I can do for you. You cannot awaken yourself to the fact that everything in our society is driven by lies for the sake of consumption. Profits.
In money-free society a majority of people will choose to eat CULTURED MEAT, so no more pestilent feedlots whose livestock is kept on life support with antibiotics and now threatened with super bugs, no more 2 billions of pound of meat surplus. In a money-free society most people will eat meat occasionally, will prefer vegetarianism, because today we give livestocks what could feed half of world population. This meat overcomsumption makes us deeply sick on top of that. BigPharma will no longer exist either.
thanks to brainwashing, because wholesome foods is all what you will find in supermarkets in a money free society. People will do all their cookies and lemonades, etc at home as they have plenty of time to rediscover the joy of food processing. Or it will be done by some very creative people in the community who love doing this exclusively. City gardens will also be a huge trends and people interested in growing crops instead working whatever mindless cubicle jobs. Most processed foods one buys today gives cancer or diabetes anyway. Just an example
But you didnt watch the this presentation yet, did you??? ... because if you do NOT accept that the problem is REAL...then you will reject all solutions... any solutions.
So you are even further restricting the supply of meat. This means even LESS is available for distribution. This will make the problems I outlined even MORE intense. You have answered none of the questions about who will get this even further restricted supply of meat. Who will get the even more limited amount of meat, the restaurants or the supermarkets? Will I be able to walk into a supermarket and fill up my cart with "cultured meat"? Can I order cultured meat every time I walk into a restaurant? There will not be enough cultured meat for everyone, who will decide who gets it? Who will decide how much cultured meat an individual or business can receive? How will the limited supply be distributed fairly?
These same problems exist for vegan foods. These same problems exist for every economic good. Everything that has a price is limited in amount. This is why things have a price. There is not enough of it to go around, so some way has to be in place to reduce demand for it. As the price of a good goes up, the demand decreases.
The reverse is also true. When there is a lot of one particular good and/or low demand, the price will start to drop. As the price drops, the demand goes up, and this reduces the over supply of that good. How will your "no money" economy handle the problem of over supply? What if corn growers grow too much corn? What if everyone decides they want asparagus instead? What will happen to all the extra corn? Will people be forced to take corn? Or will it be left to rot?
This is another problem that you "money free" economy can't solve. The free market is constantly changing every day. The demand and supply of every good is constantly shifting and changing. Prices change in reaction to the changing conditions. How will a "money free" economy adjust to all the constantly changing conditions in the economy?
As to what people eat, that is their decision. I haven't had any refined sugar for the last 3 months. Zero. It is not hard to do, you just have to decide what you want to put in your mouth. If more people decided to eat healthy, the market would respond and produce more healthy food. That people choose to eat unhealthy food is not the fault of money. The free market provides what people demand. There is a large demand for cheap, fast, and sugary foods, so the market obliges.
Thinking that people will become self sufficient homesteaders is laughable and impossible. 55% of the world's people live in cities with no room to grow enough to sustain themselves. These people would all starve. But you don't care that 4.2 billion souls will starve, because you don't like money. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, eh?
