Air is super over-abundant and it is a given. It does not require labor and it is not a commodity since it is a general condition. Over abundance of food and other goods is wasteful and ridiculous. You'd need to make so much of everything that the supply was thousands of times higher than demand. The rest just sits there going to waste.

@nicholasandjenn You can't say "work together for a better future" to this kind of mindset. Hyper-individualistic, also known as anti-social. This radical and contradictory belief that a society can opertate with everyone gaming for personal gain...

@VoteLib3rty Geeze... You really believe in what you're saying? How many people do you know that can "fix machines"? It's like 0,0005% of the population. The human "work force" is obsolete. Get that FACT in your head before going berzerk in projections. People won't get lazy! They'll finally have the TIME to do what they want/like.

The absense of rational thought is what got us here in the first place. You just got used to it. The very fact that you can't even conceve a society without money...

[nicholasandjenn]

@VoteLib3rty have you watched zeitgeist- moving forward? it states that they know they will need ppl to work to fix the machines, but they absolutely believe that there will be people who will be willing to give up their time to fix it. If this was to ever work, we would all need to work together for a better future.

@onetwentysecs Well as Bertrand Russell once rightly stated; "Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so."

There isn't any problem with the Zeitgeist movement pointing out the problems people face. It's that the fundamental proposed "solutions" (ie. no money) are absolute nonsense. The machines do all the work so the gelatinous masses can all chill, but who fixes and builds the machines? It is devoid of rational thought and while people waste their time w/this the game ends.

@VoteLib3rty I dont believe it does no. I think the general message for the human race is "wise up or die" people can keep perpetuating and believing in the outdated and irrelevant institutions or perish.

@onetwentysecs Does the zeitgeist movement propose a monetary system under the control of the people? Does is promote Voluntaryism?

[onetwentysecs]

@VoteLib3rty Some form of world government is inevitable to be honest regardless of your conspiracy ideology. Its called Globalization and it is a product of advancements in technology. The question is whether we can use this techology productively. I dont see how this venus project is a "cult" or "fantasy" considering they base this on science and years of sociological research. Its easy to be cynical about something thats new but just remember, no one took Karl Marx or Galileo seriously either

@snakeboy742 Sarcasm based on assumption is pretty weak. That said, I have done enough research to understand that this "movement" does nothing that interferes with the plans of those working toward world government. There are certainly some truths in the Zeitgeist movement, but it will lead it's followers nowhere. Controlled opposition.
