Who else has realized that we’re all paid slaves in this economy??

Why can’t we all see that our freedom has been taken away. Why do we have to be in a monetary based economy where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer and the dumb gets dumber. And then we read articles, watch on the news, complain about having to work 9-5, crime, war, discrimination, global warming and so on.

If only people knew that there are technology out there RIGHT NOW which are environmentally friendly and use natural abundant resources such as tidal, wind, wave, geothermal power and not scarce resources which give out CO2 emissions such as oil, gas and electricity, then why aren’t the government doing anything about this? The whole of UK can be powered by tidal waves. In fact, we don’t have to use anything to contaminate the environment. So then why aren’t the government doing anything about it? Surely they must know this? Is it because we’re so entrapped in this monetary system where by enforcing these technology, the government won’t make a profit, hence the banks losing out? Illuminati? Free Masons? World domination?? or just plain stupidity?

OK so some may argue, technology will leave people jobless and I don’t blame you because in the economy right now, we are partly brainwashed to think that no money = no future/power/respect/life. So correct me if I’m wrong, the main reason that drives crime is money (more like the lack of it)? But on the other hand, if technology is to take over all jobs once belonged to human, then everyone will be equal by not having a job, demolishing this system where everything is around money. There’ll be less crime because there’ll be "less" incentives for once poor or deprived people to steal/murder/etc. Innovative technology will also bring solutions to problems in society in which we now deal with by enforcing laws.(FREEDOM???)

In order for there to be peace, equality and freedom, we need to open our eyes and act as one.

Is it just me, or are there other people out there that think the way I do and believe that this world can get better if only there was no money system.

First of all, thank you for your comments.

It is interesting to see how most people think that society can never change. The social values of our society, which has manifested in perpetual warfare, corruption, oppressive laws, social stratification, irrelevant superstitions, environmental destruction, and a despotic, socially different, profit oriented, ruling class, is fundamentally the result of a collective ignorance, of two of the most basic insights humans can have about reality… the EMERGENT and SYBIOTIC aspects of natural law.

The Emergent nature of reality, is that all systems, whether it is knowledge, society, technology, philosophy, or any other creation, will, when uninhibited, undergo fluid, perpetual change. What we consider commonplace today, such modern communication and transportation, would have been unimaginable in ancient times.
Likewise, the future will contain technologies, realizations and social structures, that we cannot even fathom in the present.
We have gone from Alchemy, to chemistry…from a geocentric universe, to a heliocentric…from believing that demons where the cause of illness, to modern medicine. This development shows no sign of ending, and it is this awareness that aligns us and leads us on a continuous path to growth and progress. Static, Empirical knowledge does not exist…rather it is the insight of the emergence of all systems, we must recognize. So doesn’t this mean we must be open to new information at all times, even if it threatens our current belief system and hence, identities?
Sadly, society today has ‘obviously’ failed to recognize this and the established institutions continue to paralyze growth, by preserving outdated social structures. At the same time, the population suffers from a fear of change as well, for their conditioning assumes a static identity, and challenging ones belief system, usually results in insult and apprehension, for being wrong is erroneously associated with failure (me)
So, no TAT I am not 12 and yes we do have the choice to succeed. The questions is, what is success to you? Because this tendency of yours (not just TATs but the majority of those who think it "will forever remain the same power" -[Lara] and [Lynn C] who is a good example of the point here) to blindly hold on to a belief system, sheltering it from new, possibly transforming information, is nothing less than a form of "intellectual materialism".
The monetary system perpetuates this materialism not only by its self preserving structures, but also through the countless number of people who have been conditioned into blindly, and thoughtlessly upholding these structures, therefore becoming ’self-appointed guardians of the status quo". Sheep, which no longer need a sheep dog to control them, for they control each other by ostracizing those who step out of the norm.
In the 1940s, the Manhattan Project produced the first true weapon of mass destruction. This program employed 130,000 people at an extreme financial cost.

Image what our life would be like today, if that group of scientists instead of working on a way of killing people, worked on a way to create a self sustaining, abundant world. Life today, would be very very different, if that was their goal.

Instead of weapons of mass destruction…It is time to unleash something much more powerful… Weapons of Mass Creation. Our true divinity is our ability to create, and armed with the understanding of the Symbiotic connections of life, while being guided by the emergent nature of reality, there is nothing we cannot do or accomplish.

Of course, we face strong barriers, in the form of established power structures that refuse to change.
At the heart of these structures is the monetary system. As explained earlier, the fractional reserve policy is a form of slavery through debt, where it is literally impossible for society to be free. In turn, free market capitalism in the form of free trade, uses debt to imprison the world and manipulate countries into subservience to a handful of large business and political powers. Apart form these obvious amoralities; the system itself is based on competition, which immediately destroys the possibility of large-scale collaborations for the common good, hence paralyzing any attempt at true global sustainability.

These financial and corporate structures are now obsolete and they must be outgrown.

Of course, we cannot be naïve enough to think that the business and financial elite are going to subscribe to this idea, for they will lose power and control.
Therefore, peaceful. Yet highly strategic action must be taken. The most powerful course of action is simple. We have to alter our behavior to force the power structure to the will of the people.

We must stop supporting the system.

The only way the establishment will change, is by our refusal to participate,
…while continuously acknowledging it endless flaws and corruptions.

As of now, the world financial system is on the brink of collapse, due to its own shortcomings. The comptroller of currency stated in 2003 that the interest on the US national debt will not be affordable in less than 10 years. This theoretically means total bankruptcy for the US economy. And it’s implications for the world, are immense.
In turn, the fractional reserve based monetary system is reaching its theoretical limits of expansion and the banking failures you are seeing are just the beginning. This is why inflation is skyrocketing, all debt is at record levels and the government and fed are hemorrhaging new money to bail out the corrupt system. For, the only way to keep the banks going is by making more money… the only way to make more money is to create more debt and inflation. It is simply a matter of time before the tables turn and there is no one willing to take new loans, while defaults grow, as people are unable to afford their current loans. Then the expansion of money will stop and contraction will begin on a scale never before seen, ending a century long, pyramid scheme. Which I think has already begun. No?

Something interesting about Feng Shui, what do you think, do you practice it?

I don’t personally practise Feng Qi or believe in it. I do practise Tai Chi for relaxation, fitness and martial arts reasons.

If Qi is indeed scientific phenomenom that includes solar wind, magnetic fields and radiation then you could say it exists.

The placement of furniture in the home that influences a person’s luck and wealth; is only a small part of Feng Shui. It is largely Earth geography and anstromy and how Qi (pronounced "chi"), the ‘life force energy’. Chi as in Tai Chi is spelt differently and has a different meaning "greatness" but the two are often confused. Tai Qi incorporates the use of Qi. A traditional explanation of Qi as it relates to Feng Shui would include the orientation of a structure, its age, and its interaction with the surrounding environment including the local microclimates, the slope of the land, vegetation, and soil quality. Qi can be split into two forms Ying and Yang that are equal and opposite forces that cannot exist without each other and are constantly acting against each other to give natural balance. There is now proof that Qi energy exists and has been dismissed by the NHS.

The really interesting thing about Feng Shui is reputable scientists have found a strong link in space weather, solar energy and Earth’s magnetic fields that have a profound effect on modern technologies including GPS, power lines, pipelines, elctronic devices and communications. There is some evidence that suicide rates in Kirovsk, Russia, fluctuate along with the geomagnetic field. Atmospheric scientists have suggested that space weather creates fluctuations in market prices. The New Age movement has very little to do with Feng Shui. According to researcher Stephen L. Field, one use for a Luopan is to detect the flow of qi. Professor Max Knoll suggested in a 1951 lecture that qi is a form of solar radiation.

Is the USA Administration treating the world as one giant battlefield for its war on terror?

Now that saddam id gone,why cant the US army and its allied pack its bags n baggage n peacefully leave iraq.

B is just evoking the fear of terrorism to enhance HIS EXECUTIVE POWERS is double speak has been breathtakingly shamelss.He his not fit to be a leader,his emergence has cast a darkshadow worldw

What is the simplest but most useful recent invention you’ve heard of?

For me, this oven takes the cake!

London, April 9 (ANI): A solar-powered oven made from cardboard is the 50,000-pound winner of a contest to find the world's greenest invention.

The invention bagged the FT Climate Change Challenge crown after beating 300 other creations, including a food additive, which stops cows passing wind.

Kenya-based entrepreneur Jon Bohmer a Norwegian, set up Kyoto Energy with his Kenyan wife Neema, and has used his own money to fund the project.

The oven – which costs just 3.50 pounds to make – can slowly cook casseroles, boil water and bake bread.

It is made from two boxes, one inside the other with an acrylic cover, which lets the sun's power in and traps it.

Black paint on the inner box and silver foil on the outer help concentrate the heat while a layer of straw or newspaper between the two provides insulation.

Bohmer hopes that the oven would put an end to the use of firewood to cook in developing countries.

"We're saving lives and saving trees. I doubt if there is any other technology that can make so much impact for so little money," Sky News quoted Bohmer as saying.

He plans to use the prize money to conduct mass trials in 10 countries, including South Africa, India and Indonesia and gather data to back an application for carbon credits. (ANI)
Edit: Um…i said 'recent'…

I love this, read it years ago, just found it on net, what you think. its long?

Is a dual propeller wind turbine a feasible alternative to single propeller turbines?

I'm no physics expert, but is it theoretically possible to just stack two propellers on the same mast? Or is this is a waste of time?

After ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ on Ch4 why has there been no discussion in the media?

If you want a real conspiracy theory, try asking yourself why any evidence like this, against the Human CO2 Global Warming THEORY, is given no newspaper or TV debate time at all? In fact just last night all we heard about were some more EU regulation to be introduced to make us change our lightbulbs… am i the only one who realises that all they are trying to do is stretch out the time that we still have fossil fuels for. Making sure oil and gas companies stay in business until they suddenly 'decide' solar, wave and wind power are real viable alternatives…?? And for those who say it's actually the oil and gas companies trying to deny Human Global Warming, it is actually to their benefit to slow down fossil fuel consumption to stay in business as long as possible, plus, they will profit from the 'fuel switchover' as they are invested in that technology also.

If wind drives the sails of a wind turbine, why do the sails of turbines still move on windless days?

I know how turbines work, but I cant work out why the sails of those huge wind turbines are always moving 1) at the same speed, and 2) even on days when there is no wind. How is the wind even strong enough to cause the blades to move?
