Top notch thinking.

@NoCommentChick Mr.Eisenstein states all problems in the world when one digs a couple of layers down always get to money. In contrast, psychological study after study indicate prosocial, responsibile, caring behaviour are directly linked to a person's level of self-worth. Antisocial/dissociated, behaviour such as working for a weapons manu, knowing the weapons will kill, is the determining cause for that choice of work, not the salary at all.

@charlesfrith Respectfully, the key oversight in the thinking process is the fundamental determination of human choices is not money but level of self-worth, self-esteem ect..

Psycological study after study have concluded altrusim is directly linked to the level of self-worth. Money is not the cause of malajusted, insensitive, greedy or irresponsible behaviour it it is level of self-esteem, self-actualization, individual sense of self. connection to something spiritual in nature ect..

[outdoorenthusiastBC]

The fundamental determining factor for human behaviour and choices is ones level of self-esteem, knowing who they are and their authentic self, as Carl Rogers states in Becoming A Person the amount of love one has for themselves reflects in how they treat other living beings as well as themselves. Money is not the cause of antisocial, malajusted behaviour as suggested by Mr. Eisenstein. Level of self-esteem ect... determine the capacity for a highly mature, empathetic individual, or lack of.

The Federal Reserve Document~Modern Money Mechanics states something like " money is useful in relation to its scarcity" . I'd like to hear Charles speak on the how and the why of scarcity with the intent of showing how it is being artificially generated. Thanks for the videos!

@chickenshieee I found him by accident when I googled this: "We no longer live in a disconnected world. We have no need for currency or gold to prove our value in this world. We always have worked for each other, not money. There has never been such a thing as a self made man" I put that on a wall in facebook, and was curious what google would give me if I searched it with quotes. He was the only result. I was astounded. someone actually had nearly the exact same ideas I do.

Money is the tool to herd the uneducated masses. The pubilc school system is set up to keep the system well stocked. Social networks may help change this.
