Has anyone read Grunch Of Giants by Buckminster Fuller?
It is basically about how the biggest corporations in the world have shafted all of us. These corporations have found a resource that everyone needs, placed a monopoly on the resource it's self through the corrupt legal system, and artificially restrict the production/distribution of the resource. Thus, creating what I have come to call: Artificial Scarcity.
I have allowed my mind to entertain this idea for the past week and every conclusion I have come to is that everything we accept as truth having to do with our economy is typically a fraud.
The built in demand for immediate currency. The idea of lack. The fear of monetary failure. Hell even poverty it's self. I mean, yes, poverty is very real, but it does not have to be that way.
I mean, what I am seeing now is that all of this stuff is just socially engineered into the system. :smx4:
What is it that we are doing wrong as human beings to allow this to persist? Why are the rest of us accepting this form of artificial scarcity so .001 percent of us can enjoy everything the world has to offer??
I do support the accumulation of currency in the pursuit of goods/services to better living standards, but I am starting to think that there is something VERY wrong going on when the economy at large is an illusion. :smug2:
Anyway, it's a very liberating feeling knowing that most of all these beliefs of scarcity may indeed be false.
