If a man can't see the bars and the chains that enslave him, if all his life everyone has told him he is free this is what freedom is, if everyone around him believes the same thing how would he know the difference? How would any of them know they are enslaved if physically they seem to be free? The first step in breaking free of the enslavement would be being able to see that you are enslaved.

When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.
Can you trust the things that have been sold to you as the truth? Can you trust the person that gave you this information and can you trust who gave it to them. Think deep on it. Who controls how you see everything? Who controls what you learn and the environment you learn in. Your parents? You? Your pairs?

@hapspir Send a wise men in a group full of fools and he will be the fool.
I can't not teach to the point where I am learning for you. It will only work if you are seeking knowledge or seeking to trade knowledge.
When a man is shore he is right no one can teach him other wise because he will not listen to reason. He has an answer for way you are wrong already. Anything you say will be filtered through what he thinks he understands. You must always question what you think you know.

@hapspir Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Understand I'm not call you a fool it's just a saying that goes real well with this and my other comment.
If you can't already see I can't explain it to you with out bringing myself down to your level of perception but explaining at that level of perception is impossible.
If I don't answer you you will see yourself as being right.

@JV031991 Wealth is the stuff that we buy with the money, not the money itself. A plan to keep me in need of money? Are you suggesting that production and trade are not needed to satisfy our wants and needs? How would you do it otherwise? What is YOUR plan?

THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT AT ALL. I WON'T EVEN BOTHER TO EXPLAIN WAY BECAUSE IT WILL BE LIKE TRYING TO TEACH A CHILD ALGEBRA THAT JUST LEARNED 2+2=4. HE'S EITHER AN ASS HOLE OR A FOOL. HE CAN'T BE THAT DUMB. DID HE REALLY SAY CREATE MORE WEALTH! THE HUMAN MIND HOLDS ALL THE POWER. MONEY IS NOTHING BUT PAPER. MONEY IS JUST A MEANS OF CONTROL SO THE PLAN IS TO KEEP YOU IN NEED OF IT. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT. IT WILL TAKE WAY TO MUCH EXPLAINING OF THE MOST SIMPLEST THINGS

@696GaySatan Of course there is long term planning of forests. That is why there is no shortage. You can find tons of wood products all over the U.S. You can also find numerous forest hiking trails and parks all over the place. But if the idea of turning trees into paper still bothers you, then I suggest you work on getting industrial hemp legalized. Hemp paper is highly economical and would replace wood paper overnight. Then we would also have cheaper baseball bats.

... "the more trees you consume the more trees there will be"
Except that many trees take hundreds of years to mature and there is no longterm planning because of shortsighted people like him?

If Yaron asserts resource abundance, why is there a price for resources in the first place. It's not like I'm going to spend all day long in a car just because oil is free, or eat 40 million donuts just because they're giving them out for free, only 12 to 15 donuts. Furthermore, if we could retrieve certain resources freely, like solar energy then there REALLY shouldn't be a price for energy because you're not even paying people to do it. Mo' money, less problems?
