The super wealthy can sit in tanks in front of their mines and factories. If the majority wants an RBE there will be plenty of materials not owned by the super rich.

When technologies pass right into the public domain everyone gets richer. The top 10 minds probably got into tech because it was interesting to them. They may not want to spent 50 hours a week for 10 years straight, but they will want to spend some time. Tech will develop faster if everyone has the opportunity to be involved in it.

You are trying to impose methods of the current system on to another. I suggest that you do more research on this subject before coming to a conclusion and picking the evidence to support the conclusion. Its all available, you need only take a couple hours out of your time.

Just like the German philosopher Hegel predicted the ultimate unity of the European peoples, you predict the future of humanity. I agree with and condone all of the content in this video. However, the resource-based economy will not be realised until the urgent need for it arises.

We will have to wait for a catastrophic crash of the stock market; followed by a series of industrial collapses, resembling the Great Depression. This will generate a good ground for people to endorse the RBE.

Great that you see it that way too. Your comment just sounded a bit harsh that time. Information and Education is the most important tool any peaceful movement has.

[pommyrooter]

You are completely right but at the time of writing the comment i was using my xbox so i couldnt do much about that. Also there really isnt enough space for a full explanation in the comments section.

I think that you don't truly understand what the RBE is... we WILL still have internet and it would be better, faster, more efficient, and every human being will have free access to it... maybe still have e-bay and amazon... but in the future if your wanting to trade something, or maybe your a musician or artist or whatever it will feel better to give your stuff to people and not do it for money... the joy will come from making others happy with your talents at no charge!

[Victoria PARSONS]

im not sure but i think that the owners are not the ones actually out there mining the material... so we maybe we could simply approach the workers that are doing the work and tell them that the owners can no longer pay their wages because they will not be getting our money anymore... and explain the RBE and see if they will do it for free and go down in history as pioneers of uniting the human family! peace and love!!!

[iteration100]

If you want to advocate new ideas, you should have the patience and take the time to explain them to others. Otherwise your ideas will never be accepted by enough people for them to become reality.
