@boringlecture Yes. I was born poor, grew up in a single-parent household, but I remember growing up happy. Consequently, money has never really mattered to me. It has always seemed a poor incentive to me, since I was a kid. I did things because I was keen to learn about the world, not because I was going to make money from it someday. I think if money is my incentive then I don't really know how to motivate myself. That's not a swipe at your Dad btw, that's how he grew up and how most of us do.

[boringlecture]

I'm only 26, but when I talked to my dad about a resource based economy without a monetary system he immediately jumped to "But people will lose their incentive to work without any money." Jacque is right, a person's incentives will always change depending on the culture they are born into. Born poor? Your incentive is make money or starve.

@TheWarrior1986 I understand where you're coming from. Here's how I think about it: In a competition you only have to be the best and not any better. So, once you are winning there is no reason to get better unless there is a problem (someone else getting better?). Competition provides the aspiration to be the best, but once that is achieved what do you do? If we think we are the best, progress stops. TVP argues that we are never the best but always a work in progress. You can always be better.

@astrialkil Please ask all your questions, Please,

I noticed you didnt seem familiar with Fresco's work so I assumed you were working for the information agents,Venus project gets attacked a lot because it provides answers unlike religion or government,I was worried you were being a shill

Please just investigate what fresco is talking about.

Listen If me and you were going diving,I wouldnt rely on peoples opinions about how much oxygen we have,I would scientifically find out exactly

[TheWarrior1986]

P.S other than than, a fantastic and thought provoking video! Thumbs up :)

[TheWarrior1986]

The one single point of TZM/TVP i disagree with is the attitude towards competition. Having loved both team and individual sport my whole life, i am well aware of the motivation that 'being the best' inspires, and this does not necessarily a negative motivation, it is entirely dependent on the individual and their own inner motivations for wanting to achieve it. Cold hard science has its place, but not to the exclusion of everything else.

@itsadeadmansparty And who am i shilling for? Why is it any time i ask a question you people blanket statement my motives? iI seems you think the world is out to get you.

[itsadeadmansparty]

@astrialkil Politicians. and Yes I am cataloging my own laboratory work, Duhh im a Scientist. Dude I design website, why would I have 1? Please I recommend you just listen to the older Fresco Lectures. It will explain everything, if you dont research more about his work it shows that your a shill. So please educate yourself, then you can continue your Shill operation

[astrialkil]

@itsadeadmansparty What primitive methods? do you have a web site? Are you cataloging your methods so others don't have to reinvent the wheel?

[itsadeadmansparty]

@astrialkil lol what I said already exists, mostly in first stage research labs.I can tell you havent researched the Venus Project well enough. I think if you read more literature from Jacque you may understand why we dont have it today.One of the many books Jacque has written is titled"The Best That Money Cant Buy" the title tells you a lot about our current system.The reason you dont see these technologies organized is because we are using primitive methods to problem solving still
