TZM - Where Are We Going? | Topic: Social Progress | 2/13 [HD]

PLAYLIST - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=19AD2CD4C089E657

In this second video Peter Joseph really drills home the point of how "Social Progress & Human Well-Being is Always Second to Monetary Gain"

-- Inefficiency = Profit

-- Quote from George Carlin: "Have you ever noticed that the only metaphor we have in our public discourse for solving problems is to declare war on it? We have the war on crime, the war on cancer, the war on drugs. But did you ever notice that we have no war on homelessness? You know why? Because there's no money in that problem. No money to be made off of the homeless. If you can find a solution to homelessness where the corporations and politicians can make a few million dollars each you will see the streets of America begin to clear up pretty damn quick!"

-- The ethics of our new Earth should not be at the expense of social progress, and this is what we are trying to point out.

-- Financially driven institutions recognize that abundance, sustainability, and efficiency are the enemies of profit.

-- This is where Mr. Joseph understands the systems approach to improve the outlook of our future and move away from the concept of "scarcity"

-- Progress itself is so difficult in a monetary system because the established instiutions try to limit social change, because they cannot control the profit mechanism.

-- We learn about Free-Market Capitalism and rights to physical and intellectual property.

-- And lastly, lobbying and the free-market at work is described as it relates to the whole of society.

-- At the very end of this video the discussion moves into why WAR is for resources, profit, empire power and trade monopolies.
