Letters to the Editor Aloha Benjamin, I have been a subscriber for several years, and one who deeply appreciates the work you have and continue to do on our behalf. Frankly, I am humbled by your willingness to put yourself at risk as you have, for the sake of the rest of us. I have come to believe that money is a key tool in perpetuating humanity’s enslavement, and that it is made even more effective by our culture of deception and disinformation. And while I’m looking forward to a jubilee, debt forgiveness, and a currency reset, I just can’t seem to get past the fact that money is a creation and only as real as we make it. It is NOT an actual living force like human creativity, choice, cooperation, or imagination, just to name a few. Do you know if those who are designing our new money system are doing so with a longer view that includes its ultimate elimination? Just like addicts, we slaves will need to be weaned off of those things, practices, and thoughtforms which are keeping us weak and enslaved. Of course there will have to be a transition/healing period as we accustom ourselves to the reality of abundance (as opposed to scarcity) and all kinds of healthier practices and technologies, such as honesty from our leaders and greater demonstrations of cooperation, just to name a few. I’m not sure I know what a true meritocracy would look or feel like. Can you describe it so that I can imagine it more easily/accurately? Thanks again for consistently choosing to dig deeper for the good of everyone. –C Hi C: Money is, in essence, human thinking about material objects. Finance is the psychological process of deciding what we do next in the material world. This process has been hijacked by religious fanatics with an apocalyptic agenda. We are fighting to replace that with a transparently run, democratic, and meritocratic process whereby we decide what kind of ideal future we want and what the best way is to turn that into reality. Freedom of information and transparency will ensure the system works well. Secrecy has been used to hide corruption for too long. A one-off cancellation of debt and redistribution of stolen assets would be a good way to start that process. BF Poster Comment: In a cyber age the entire money system is a progress-stifling redundancy. Much better to have teams of computer programmers determine people's needs then mobilize trained personnel and resources to ensure basics of food, shelter, etc., are met, assigning merit points to those meeting goals successfully, allocating merit points for perks beyond basics. Neither politicians, government bureaucrats or the private sector can readily meet everyone's needs within a system based on money. Computers can be programmed to arrange for personnel training, make them available to do whatever is needed domestically or abroad. Money is just a primitive bookkeeping system open to criminal activity; none working in it produce any wealth. Rather than have entertaining political clowns determine society's directions have head hunters recommend a talented board of directors the same way corporations do.
