I know this may sound a little weird but how about a mashup video of Carl's words?

[paulagloria]

damn I wish you were an editor...you are so wise

[alduffy2009]

Boy, you cover alot of ground, to bad Carl can't get more hits at the moment.

Maybe if the videos were fragmented like a presidential speech.

[paulagloria]

I agree about Carl needing more attention but I am only one person...maybe as rabbithole grows I can get more savy editors as the material is profound and you have to care about the material..

you are right smaller spots

cheers, Al!

i think that Carl Person could be a great thinker. He's got solution consciousness and suggests good things. He enfranchises people. Sometimes a good negative analysis can start a simplistic solution.  I still have this idea for making biosynthetic methane central to the energy strategy. This is a complex solution and a little difficult to get behind. It means capture sun using algae>store or digest the biomass>methane the most widely usable gaseous fuel. If it works, it will help everyone.

I answered you on my latest I will try to post today called "Mastering Masturbation"

basically it is a question not of the energy available but the willingness to implement a new economic system.

Thank you for your input. It is highly appreciative and i will read Dan Sullivan's essay.

"George considered himself a purifier of Capitalism, not its enemy. He built upon the foundations laid by the classical economists. The skeleton of his system is essentially Capitalist. In fact, Karl Marx referred to George's teaching as 'Capitalism's last ditch.'" -- Dr. Robert V. Andelson

To understand the fundamental difference between Georgist capitalism and Marxist communism, google: "Common rights vs. Collective rights" (an essay by Dan Sullivan)

What is Communism?

A proletariat system, by which labourers and industries commune together, by which those making profit are few men of the elite. The idea is to eradicate the class struggle that exists upon Capitalism.

The nature of humanity and having free will indicates that Communism cannot work - only through terror or violence.

[youarehypnotized]

What do we define as Capitalism?

Capitalism is an economic system, in which labourers and industries are controlled by Private owners for profit.

A Capitalist is an investor or a rich person- one who favours Capitalism.

I own the book "The science of political economy" written by Henry George, very fascinating and i am understanding it all the way 100%. Been studying this, full on along with The Capital and The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.

You should read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Dr. Martha Stout. She says that conscience is "the seventh sense" and that it's still evolving in human beings. Basically, as a species, we are starting to realize that we can't keep fighting over resources because the game of survival has changed. Instead, we have to work together, take care of each other, and use resources wisely. We are still learning how to control the "sprawl" of civilization. I know - that's more of an insight than an answer :)
