Perfecto Larken. I have a question for You. Are You familiar about the Ubuntu movement by Michael Tellinger? I think it may be one way to get rid of money=oneye if people will see it working. But, after all it is statism. Just another political party that people vote for. What would You have to say about it, if anything? Thanks Larken!
I'm only vaguely familiar with it (and was familiar with the word before it was a "movement"--heck, I was in a band that had a song called "Ubuntu"). My short, blunt answer is, ANY idea, however good and wise it is, when you combine it with a centralized authoritarian master plan, turns to crap.
Wow, must hear the song. Thanks Larken. :D
I love where Michael Tellinger is going, where his heart is. I am concerned, however, how it will be implemented. He might say it won't be implemented, but be a natural growth out of our hearts and disillusionment of our government. But he is playing the central politics game at the moment. We should get him over here so he can experience Steemit. I think we have a better chance of making the government irrelevant than trying to change it.
Obviating the need for government and relegating it to the trash heap of history is the only way to make a lasting change. Otherwise, we'll just have more pathological altruists and sociopaths finding new and inventive ways to play on people's fears to manipulate them.
