Zeitgeist Vancouver at Occupy Vancouver

Zeitgeist (German pronunciation: [ˈtsaɪtɡaɪst] is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the general cultural, intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation or even specific groups, along with the general ambiance, morals, sociocultural direction, and mood associated with an era.
For anyone not aware of what British Columbia is like, the cost of living is very high..BC = Bring Cash. Many retirees have moved here to live out their golden years in the mild climate and stunning scenery. The aged population gets a number of breaks on taxes and unless they work they are no longer paying income taxes, only a lower property tax.
With no disrespect intended this aging populations, it will require increasing medical and health care at the same time corporate tax rates are being eroded so a real concern is where will this money come from for health care while still funding education and other services.

Yeah, a resource based economy is the way to go!

[MrNiceHk]

Superb video, you definitely have your own style

[RodTalon0000]

This is a switch... cops bein friendly with Occupy members? Maybe things are getting better

[BodyFitLife]

we can assess the validity of the information by analyzing discrepancies between real Occupy protestors and impostors who’ve infiltrated the group. Read more at healthquiz (dot) wordpress (slash) com

@technatezin there is no way to implement a resource based economy with-out forcible removing power, resource and influence from governments and those who run those systems. If your waiting for the 'elite' of our world to willingly give up power despite the 'awakening' of the sheeple you will be waiting and long...long time. Yes the technocrats run most of the world, the IMF and world bank, the UN and all those guys are 'one world government' technocrats.

Secondly, we can simply bypass those have a personal emotional fixation or old ways of making things, doing things and organizing people and resources. If enough people want change and this depends on the mindset of people we can persuade, we can simply ask people to drop out of what they're doing because it's simply not worth the effort. Why the need to conquer when the workers in the "enemy camp" simply refuses to work with obsolete technologies and ideas?

[technatezin]

@InfiniteMischief (cont.)

Firstly, because we already have the know-how to build things and machines in a far more effective and less labor intensive way than the present establishment why would we need to confiscate obsolete assembly line technologies? It's like asking top engineers and technicians to design a 200 year old antique windmill or watermill when they can design nuke plants and automated robot manufacturing centers.

@InfiniteMischief (cont.) "everyone be tracked and evaluated for contribution?"

This could happen if a resource based economy was implemented before like in the early twentieth century, but it's not necessary nor even productive in any significant way to do so now. With the advent of electronic technologies to automate and reduce complex tasks into elementary repeatable steps and with efficient electric technologies human/animal muscle power is insignificant to the production process.

@InfiniteMischief "people have to work to grow grain, to make flour, for one of the ingredients for bread"

Okay, look at it this way. Is growing food today with internal combustion engines running tractors easier to do now than it was 200 years ago without such technologies? Is it easier now to calculate and automate things now with electronic computers than it was 200 years ago without such technologies? And, we're talking about 18th century inefficient heat engine tech. not sophisticated ...

[InfiniteMischief]

@technatezin the guys with the guns and bombs... why else did you think we invaded iraq/afganistan/lybia...et all...

 The question still remains, 'what will you do with the people who don't want to surrender their resources or their ability to produce resources to the state?'

[InfiniteMischief]

@technatezin are these resources magically going to appear in transporters that you talk too?...did you invent some tech that will materialize food on a tray? people have to work to grow grain, to make flour, for one of the ingredients for bread...what medium of exchange do you intent for the grower of the grain to use to eat bread? or will it go into the great computer and everyone be tracked and evaluated for contribution?...the world is already controlled by resources and....
