i agree with peter joseph. imagine if the 34,000 cchildren that die had proper education and safe enviroment. just imagine all the human minds work on problems of the world. this system destroys the most amazing thing created on this planet... the human mind.

@sheepOG first off, peter joseph has no 'followers', within the zeitgeist movement there is no figurehead or leader. It is a movement to increase awareness of the society we are living in while providing paths to change it through education. Yes, I will agree that public education fails far, far too many and that indicates not a problem with millions upon millions of people, it indicates a problem with the system itself. Public education now is as detrimental to public health as mainstream media

@technatezin The person is the primary source of information for their own motives. But instead of respecting that person as an independant human being PJ just assumes that they're "brainwashed" and that they have "twisted desires". The only thing that statement proves is that the person 1. dislikes other people buying sportscars 2. Thinks they know what's in the minds of other people. Maybe through ESP eh? lol

[technatezin]

@BigDaddyBongos The point being the ulterior motives are what drove these consumers to purchase the products that they do.

It's the dark twisted desires lurking in the minds of everyone that they dare not say aloud, but we all know what's going on in there for all those who are wise enough to see it and understand it.

[BigDaddyBongos]

@technatezin Here's a thought: Ask them.

But really they don't even have to answer the question anyway. Unless they're a criminal then they earned the money that they used to spend on the car and they're not obligated to justify their reasoning to anyone. This outrage is as usless as someone raging over why a woman chooses to wear heels or revealing clothing instead of some utilitarian jumpsuit or a burkha.

[technatezin]

@BigDaddyBongos Alright, then tell me exactly why would a person who views a car as nothing more than a transportation machine that is used to get him from point A. to point B. while traveling in crowded city streets should purchase modern sportscars unless the ulterior motive is to show how much of a wealthy narcissist he is compared to somebody else?

[BigDaddyBongos]

@technatezin And if you choose not to agree with technatezin's valuation of sportscars then you're "brainwashed". Right?

[BigDaddyBongos]

@tragicpoetics lol Sure dude. You might as well say that it's not brainwashing when Peter Joseph does it.

@Xtclilium I covered this previously. Dogma (education in this sense) reduces desire. However competition happens as a matter of circumstance coupled with communication. There will always be imperfect communication with trying situations and therefore they'll always be competition. You can improve communication of course and increase collaboration.

Trade forces communication and collaboration, which is a reason why restricting it can be dangerous. Sanctions are found before war.
