Where Are We Now? by Peter Joseph

In a world that claims to be growing more and more concerned about environmental issues, resource supplies, man made atmospheric changes and pollution. I find it fascinating that no one is talking about the most consistent destroyer of ecology and the most continuous waster of natural resources there is--the pursuit of profit.

Before the Neolithic revolution its been well documented by anthropologist that there was a natural balance to the planet. Population was in balance because we could only do what the Earth provided for us naturally. Once we started to control the planet through agriculture, and now through many different means, we began to create dis-imbalance, we began to create uneven supplies, we began to generate scarcity deliberately for the sake of self-preservation and profit.

Money, contrary to the opinion the most of the worlds population today, is not a natural resource. Nor does it represent resources. If you read economics they present it as though it is a science. Its funny, you look at economics books and they have graphs and charts and they make complex novel equations--Its all contrived, it doesn't have any relationship to the natural order of things. In fact by all standards of logic money is only functionally relevant in society when natural resources and the mechanisms of creation are scarce. and thus, a system has emerged, where people are given value for their skills in exchange for their servitude which can thus be used as an median of exchange for those supposed scarce resources.

It is based upon an folkway of orienting production and distribution. The entire global economic system is based upon people constantly consuming irregardless of state of affairs and natural orders of energy, planetary materials and anything else. It is blind, narrow, consumption with absolutely no regard for the environment.

The Capitalist economy is founded on the idea of exchanging property in the markets, even your labor is a form of property in a sense. The world as we know is so caught up in the process of buying and selling that most can't imagine any other way of functioning human affairs. Sadly, the culture is fully indoctrinated into this frame of reference. And like the rising sun most con not even consider any other possibility for social functionality.

Yet, with all this obsession over property very few ask the question, "Why do we have property to begin with?" The answer is simple, Scarcity.

Property is an out growth of scarcity, the farther we go back in time, the difficult and time consuming it was for people to create tools or extract a resource. They in turn protected it because it had immense value relative to the labor entailed along with the possible scarcity associated. People claim ownership because it is a legal form of protection. Property is not an American or Free Enterprise or Capitalist idea. It is an ancient mental prospective necessitated from generations of scarcity. If there isn't scarcity the rational for property becomes an irrelevant issue.

The fact is that most of the original problems which required the development of the economic system we see today are no longer pressing due to the dramatic advancements of science an technology. We now have the means to move into a new social paradigm, one where the negative byproducts of our current social establishment such as perpetual war, human exploitation, poverty and environmental destruction are no longer tolerable.

Regardless of how logical, clear and obvious new ideas may seem. The public still remains, on average, in tremendous fear of any form of social change. This is due largely due to the propaganda and indoctrination which has been pushed upon them by the established powers. Which, of course, prefer to maintain their power. These institution range from religious organizations to government to business.

There are a great number of people out there that know that something is wrong but they do not understand the source of that 'wrongness' because they are in the box of indoctrination. People are locked into a box, they see the box around them, they see the leaks and the holes and the cracks. They go up to the cracks and they try to fix them, they try to patch to holes but they don't stop to think that maybe there is something wrong with the box itself. Maybe the integrity of the box that they exist in is inherently invalided, its inherently void.

The economic system we live in is a parasitic paradigm...

I thought it was straight forward. Amongst all things mentioned; infinite consumption with finite resources is bad. Not sure you can simplify that further.

Peter Joseph has found the Truth beyond personal advantage and therefore has the most incredible insights of reality. He maybe our species last hope of securing this planet for our great grandchildren. His message must be perpetuated until a critical mass awareness is reached and the whole of humanity evolves to a much higher level of unity and existence.

[KoalaSabbath]

Wow 11dislikes...your all pathetic.

[TrueSacredRahXephon]

Ewww PJ said "irregardless".

[nistyboy32]

My whole adult life..even since high school..I always had this innate sense that there was something deeply wrong with our socio-economic system. The "splinter in my mind, driving me mad" so to speak as Morpheus from 'The Matrix' eloquently put it. And, after seeing the Zeitgeist movies, I genuinely feel as if I've been truly awakened. There's nothing like being educated in-depth with information - overflowing with truths, in such a heroic, intelligent way. Your message is undeniable. Thank you!

[deividzeitgeist]

pls! what is the song....

PJ is too good to be true... i get to that point... I simply love this video

@hovick24 I know this may not be important but we already have those kind of thought of a money less system here and now. and has been for a long time... I know its just a classic Tv Scifi but its been with us forever..

Star Trek they live in a system with no money !! i know its just a show but you can see how people have already been touched by the idea.

[KamidakeRed]

@hovick24 Your Economics Don't work you wanna know whats may me join the Venus project because before i know anything about it i was asking the same question myself about the world around me.. and was looking for a system that worked without money that would benefit all as a native american i knew it was possible because my people lived and shared without money for 26,000 year and without the technology we have now so i know the resource system can be better

[KamidakeRed]

@hovick24 you don't have to know anything about the Venus project to know that system is not working just by looking at the world with your own eyes as a normal person on the street you can see all the thing that are wrong why are there homeless people, why are there hookers do you really think they wanna be like that i'm from New York. i seen those things every day.. people need to go some place and because their short of money they cant ride the bus or train. or the system making you pay extra

[KamidakeRed]

@hovick24 From just using what you know today... for what you see in the world around you is your logic on economics every remotely true.. are we all benefiting have all in this system every benefited other then the select 1% of the rich and those in government... can you really say that this system is helping us all in fact economics can never be efficient because the corrupt wont profit look at the Xbox 360 and the red ring of death... how may went and brought another one and give more money.

After he pointed out the fact that money was necessary due to the existence of scarcity, I watched this entire video, waiting for the guy to actually put forward something substantive. I was sadly disappointed. Obviously he isn't proposing that all scarcity be magically eliminated, that's just stupid. He goes on to speak out against the concept of ideology, as if no named ideology has any basis in experience or reflection-- they're all the product of indoctrination. What a waste.
