  • No better reason other than just to help our fellow man..

  • i dig it.

  • barf!!!

  • is there a small community project where people with different trades could substain one an other by their products with the less envolvemnt of money needed to subsist?. IF it works it could go to a more larger scale, and the less envolvmente of money until no money is neded.

  • where does he sleep? does he grow his own food? how does he cuts his hair if is not with a manmade machine? just wondering.

  • Grasshopper Media is very likey this!

  • Sonds like he saw Zeitgist and Kimatica!!! tumbs up if u think the same!!!

  • fascinating guy, I think you can find arguments against this but there are also good reasons for it... just like the economy we have today. I don't think people are going to have the courage though. I certainly don't but I guess if things mess up for me so much then I'll become homeless, it's better than ending it in your bathroom.

  • business leaders and worshipped.. and in a global culture the external enemy has gone.. they the weak become the victims and we have a form of social cancer where thoes with spychopathic tendancies rise to positions of power adn those with open hearts are all too frequently 'removed' or disappeared as soon as the pose a serious threat..

    how do we deal compassionatley and strongly with instutions that are happy to cheat, lie, kill and mame en masse if they feel it will raise the bottom line..?

  • lovely man.. if we all had his gift for empathy the world might become as he imagines..

    we must first deal with the problem of psychopathy though.. when we lived in warring tribal cultures we needed a small percentage of out population to be able to do things that required disconnection.. like killing other people... invaders etc..

    is that true ..? is it the psychopath just devient throughout..?

    either way people who wil do'whatever' is required and now hailed as business leaders

  • @paulflute chemicals in our system fuck our brain up such as flouride it gets into the water system from toxic waste compounds & insitutions dumping into our water system to save money thus making more money in healthcare/toxic medications making us more ill and mentally fucked up. research: "the brain & how it works" also research chemicals effect on the brain.. flouride (fed to poision jews by hitler) is an extremely toxic reactive gas sits in the pineal gland of the brain & stops the brain

  • @deexjayx ..stops the brain releasing the sleep hormone so we dont get deep sleep anymore. get ur water from springs.

  • What Mark is saying is not same thing as Money-less economy (MLE). MLE does not create hardship like Mark is proposing. Gandhi and Buddha both proposed tremendous austerity to create a simple life. That is not necessary in MLE.

    In MLE you can have everything you want, but all will be free for you. All you have to do in return is - you work for free for the society.

    You go to your work, wherever you are working now. Produce whatever you are producing now. But you wont get paid. MLE is simple.

  • I have been following Mark Boyle for more than 2 yrs. He is my latest hero since then. Wondering why is he throwing his slippers on the audience? . Check his website justfortheloveofit for more details.

  • I like what you had to say & i respect your lifestyle, however not for me. I understand money as a tool for me to experience whatever i am personally attracted to. Money is not Nagitive Mark some human beings are. 

  • I'm not sure why he thinks we can't have community and money at the same time. Money has been around for many thousands of years and community has been much stronger than it is today. Technology is the real difference, I think. Money is freedom. If I'm just living with other people I'm kind of stuck there unless I just want to go wandering off on my own. In a world without money, territory is what matters which leads to war. Money solves problems and creates others, but it is still good.

  • @flaunttnualf1 Money in the current system is actually a form of debt. (please watch "Money as Debt " for more information on this). Furthermore, monetary incentive often encourages people I know, inherently good people, to look beyond their values (wanting to buy fairly made clothes, organic, animal friendly food etc.) because of the 'cost' - as if the real cost of human suffering can be quantified by the dollar bill. Money's constraints create illusions of scarcity and isolation.

  • This guy has a great outlook. This helped me realise a couple o things.

    Thanx.

    Luv n Peas dude.

  • great message and courageous man!!
