[@fideldisalvo]

One of the only few men alive on the planet that has dedicated their life to the greater good of humanity. This man is a modern day ghandi/ Martin Luther King. Well needed voice and ur work creates a chain reaction across society. People are waking up slowly, the future is exciting, or downright terrifying.

[@Wilson84KS]

Sadly ways more people fall for the WEF agenda, which is about replacing the logics of politics with market logics ruled by multi-stakeholder processes, ruled, not governed. They prepared it very well with the libertarian agents, the final step was to put the most incompetent and disgusting people in politics and now people yell and beg for "free market capitalism", good old classic feudalism, simply organized slavery, removing prohibition of human trafficking, slavery and child labor, removing labor unions, minimum wage and so on, and see sociopaths like Trump and Putin as the big heroes and saviors of humanity, while Russia Today was only founded to propagate anarcho-capitalism which Put-in finally officially declared for Russia, what is happening in Ukraine is just a Harry Houdini Show, to distract from the global genocide against poor people, the great reset is happening right now and Put-in is just the guard dog for Russian resources that are planned to be used for the new world order, the WEF, especially Klaus Schwab think humanity reached the end of history, but people who lived in the Soviet Union knew it all for atleast a century, as a child growing up on a kolkhoze without any structural violence but support in unfolding my interests and human potential, I was very curious about everything around me and asked the elders why Russia doesn't have anything own while it is in fact the richest country ever looking at real values and they always said because Russia is the resource storage for the new world order, they had no idea about the NWO we know today. That's why it is now even more important to be active, don't let people even start to talk about bs like soccer but to find ways to make people curious or atleast angry so they get in a conversation, nobody wants to look stupid and that's where we can grab them, just questioning their intellect.

[@Andre-hm5vo]

I beg to differ, people are not waking up at all. "Humans are not primarily a rational species, passion/emotions/instinct often trump reason"

[@bagiee1]

@@Andre-hm5vo Unfortunately people are reactive.. and not proactive.

[@maquina7002]

It is not a matter of “waking up”, like PJ says its more of a technical issue, there needs to be an organization and a distribution of economic attemps towards a more coherent system. If just one entity worries about changing the global paradigm, it will be enough for plating the seed necessary

Thank you so much Peter, I can’t stress enough how sane you keep me 👍

[@Heyoka86]

27:07 - "If you're a company in general and you sell something and you have an inventory and for whatever reason you're spending more than you're making - your company is a failure, you're not profitable. But what if I was to tell you that the entire market economy is not profitable? It's not profitable when you actually take into account natural capital, specifically the effects of market externalities that are outputting out the other side of the machine. The environmental costs are so staggering and almost incalculable, but we do know that they are in the epic amounts of monetary value when we attempt to put a price tag on them. The whole capitalist economy fails by its own logic. It's not profitable in its own global structure. *It's a shitty business.*" - Brilliantly said, and should be repeated everywhere.

[@allisongerfin7804]

You are the one to present this alternative! Please keep at it no matter how dispiriting it might get at times. Also good to hear you laugh even if it is undercut with a bit of ... despair?

[@simonl101]

I'm a regular listener of this channel and I can tell that it's a very good one! Very important and central topic here!

[@cliphound80]

A breath of fresh air Peter.I can stay sane awhile longer... Hear some activists scream all day about climate change and our warming planet,loss and damage and the costs incurred on the poor Global South countries from climate change,but never go into race or group relations, or even the sociology behind our chosen in-groups and out groups.

[@mamak2191]

I find it truly astounding that so many mirror myself with the sentiment that the information Peter is sharing helps keep them sane. I have listened to everything he has done over and over again for that very reason. I have felt all of the things Peter espouses for, well, my whole life, and Peter has given me a cohesive body of knowledge to support the feelings I have had for so long. Of course, I thankfully have had the good fortune of higher education and a rich life experience that has also fed me in this way, but Peter has mastered this topic in a way that allows me to debate with facts and certainty. I am so grateful and I do have hope, but to be honest, I am suffering with the knowing and with fear about my own future and that of my beloved daughter and granddaughter. It is very hard to succeed in a world I know to be in ALL ways upside down. 180 degrees from the truth and I do not know the way forward. I am so lucky to have beautiful, loving, conscious people in my life but even many of them do not understand the gravity and totality of socioeconomic inequality and the ego as the root of all human problems and most of our suffering.

[@xxblackgh0st384]

Another video from Peter. thank you for keeping me sane.

[@behonestwithyourself3718]

Surprised and the same time disturbed this channel only has 10k subs. I can listen to PJ all day. Thanks for this channel.

[@Zenoandturtle]

I followed your work since Zeitgeist. I watched your debate with Alex Jones over half a dozen times. I admit I was on the fence. Not any more! Your interview with Abby Martin drove it home. The fact that it took me over a decade to digest your work is a testament to the power of government sponsored indoctrination that I was subjected to as a kid. Thanks to you and the likes of Prof. Richard Wolff I was able to take that vital step toward true enlightement. I hope Alex stops that whole Trump grift (at this point it ain’t even funny…) and joins us. Salute your amazing work from Sydney, Australia.

[@mrjonno]

Great to see a new episode Peter. Very tired now so hope to catch up with you tomorrow. 7 minutes in and spot on, as ever. Take care PJ. 💚

wonderfully explained Peter. Let's hope this view will become common knowledge in the near future. I think it will eventually.

[@Assistint]

PETER!!! this is too good! I cant explain how awesome this episode and the work you do is. KEEP IT UP!

[@Paragorn]

Thanks Peter. You're the spokesman we shouldn't need, but is totally dependent on so that you and like-minded can direct us on a path of redemption of a failed system. Hopefully you will live to see humankind's Zeitgeist unravel, though I've personally begun to lose hope day by day... But you give that hope more presence at least.

[@coolioso808]

Do you follow The Moneyless Society and or Kindness Rebellion podcasts and pages as well? They are very much in line with what Peter talks about. A great community to give people a bit more hope, yet no shortage of rants. It’s hard not to rant about the sleeping zombies when you are aware of the problem and viable solutions! It’s so obvious to some of us but others are sadly asleep. Our job to try and wake them up.

[@polarbianarchy3333]

All the knowledge you have brought together will be helpful for rebuilding after collapse 🕵

[@stephentrueman4843]

Was reading recently about city planners using hostile architecture in America; designing bridges so poor communities (typically african-americans) who would ride the bus to the beach couldn't get there because the bridges were too low and "wealther" people could use their cars. Outstanding ending!

[@ericstuber4587]

I like this talk and the way it makes me think about wealth … the way you hint at the definition , and that it may be more than just the cultures definitions of wealth. I think it’s important to realize that emotional and perhaps “spiritual “ satisfaction of every living cell on the planet should be a part of the cultures definition of wealth - it’s not all about humanity , but it is, if we really want to fix our cultures. We need a collective that is greater than just humanity, one that includes all conscious creatures in the way we define wealth and economy.. or, in the way we define what change is needed. Long term goals for the planet are needed- goals that include the well being of all life right down to the soil and the cellular level.

[@thegratefulsteve]

Thank you Peter. Russell Brand really needs to have you on his show.

@19:55 a very old phenomenon Peter going back to the Akkadians and Mesopotamia, the shekel, in fact most of my time I has been reading academic historical pdfs in regards to how metals were weighed and why, and if the concept of price originated from that phenomenon.

"well that's not fair, I had to earn it" ... reminds me of Alfie Kohn's observation that people complaining of rewarding kids "simply for showing up" was never about intellectual honesty, but simply their own biased ideals, because they contradict research into healthy upbringing.

Peter, I was wondering if you know enough cybernetics to include the terms "system in focus", variety, and recursion into your structuralist analysis. I personally believe that you're a fantastic cybernetician but you've championed your own way of viewing the world. Saying that, the three terms given would help to clarify your analysis (even more than how you actually are), specifically when you travel through recursions of society. You even touched on it with your mention of requisite variety in the first episode! And I saw your lecture on cybernetics too :) P.s. Have you ever had an introductory clip from stafford beer? P.p.s Keep kicking ass Peter!!

[@leandrocaniglia582]

While everything you say makes sense and illuminates us, it is not so easy to see the book for the chapters (these episodes). Would it be possible to have a roadmap where we could better understand the unifying theme underlying these podcasts, its main theses and structure? That would facilitate the compilation of thoughts & ideas. Otherwise, I feel like having to discover the theorem from its (brilliantly elaborated) proof. Thanks.

No government regulations. You can still popularize movements toward circular economy as an ancap community/economy.

[@Wilson84KS]

No gouvernement regulations within the money/market religion means free market capitalism which means no prohibition of human trafficking, slavery, child labor, free market capitalism means no labor unions, no minimum wage, no social care and so on, free market capitalism means you will be just cattle and that's it. Besides the fact that we all live on the same planet and you can't become independent just by hiding under your bed, when the house is on fire the bed will burn too.

[@mrjonno]

PJ. Listened to this a couple of times now. I have no disagreement with your general assertion but I feel it needs 'humanity' and in this I mean not boiling down human function to be ephemeralization or a scientific algorithm - we might as well back Musk's 'Neuralink' if we think we are simply functional which I know you are not suggesting. Question, I believe, is how to shift humanity to work within a sustainable, progressive, dynamic, respectful, caring, questioning, responsible human race? I think about this all the time, thanks to your wisdom to set me off and a World I see destroying itself and... (Sagan said it)... I think MLK made a point which you may not have picked up on "white peasants from Europe". I can identify with this as I see 'white nationalism' create 'Brexit' and far right actors split an agreement following WW2 in the 'Europe Declaration' and separately the 'European Court of Human Rights' as a convention. My point being that Ukrainian refugees are treated very differently to the migrants from Africa and the ME that are essentially of EU\US making. MLK also spoke out about the genocide of Native Americans... I really do care, largely down to you. I think I know where we need to get to but this won't be a case of eradicating social inequality but enabling voices to hear apology/reconciliation in trust to move forward together. These folks won't comprehend any rational case if we can't educate to explain. Then there's gender identity, sexuality and an array of natural characteristics that we might understand but to endure in pain of death. It's a huge undertaking and I might understand the sociology and psychology along with the fundamental 'economics' but I still have some hope that we can discuss such and try to get to a world that works. My thoughts. Respect and regards. J 💚

Europeans set on a mission to explore the world,and in the process settled to use force, slavery & colonialism to conquer the indigenous population.Later on, Europeans decided to go back to Europe, because they knew indigenous pple would never win using money and the society they forcefully brought unto them.And now,most if not all of the developing countries are struggling in poverty,and their exponential population growth is not helping.How can you win a game that was created by someone else?I guess this is a brief history of what happened.If somehow they just managed their population,then maybe there'll be a chance.

[@Ephemeralanimal]

Peter, I think the economic activists are the first to be talked too, quited down, or even assassinated and have never been able to find a solid footing. Almost always associated or lumped in with with corporate, union or even communist movements. These type of activists are prioritized as threats and measure are taken. Think occupy would have likely leaned more this way if not otherwise misdirected through the agent infiltration.

[@supersaiyanzero386]

(quarter way thru half asleep from long day midway journal entry-sounding comment I'm typing) Yes it is often the case that we end up where we started and remain there. Had noticed this growing up around and in poverty stricken neighborhoods where the grandfather of my friend was in the same broken down shack my friend lived in, maybe with a few trinkets or a socially acceptable vehicle. Must read the study, making a compilation for fun. If I bring this stuff up about landing on the same spot you started in someone would reply to me "that's negative thinking" or "you can be the exception!", "You lack willpower and have a victim mindset!" as my eyes roll back into my skull so hard that it's like a slot machine haha. Minus the detached anatomy from repetitive rollbacks of high force, not too sure on the specifics of my eyeballs at this time. The amount of times people have written off my struggles with meaningless buzzwords cobbled together is like a count all of the grains of sand on all of the beaches. I try to not rage at them for this, I don't think they're malicious.. The anger comes in the form of disappointment, knowing that some of the people conditioned to think in this "control your destiny" way are actually intelligent in other ways, but that it is very hard to convince them to think outside of their box. They just haven't connected the dots. Makes the pessimism flow, but they don't realize that inside of that pessimistic (realistic) attitude is mostly just a reaction containing a knowledge and a promise that our species has the capacity to understand these things, coupled with an empathy for the struggling, the latter dwindling into near corporate mockery trickling into the personas of people especially those who I guess would share politics with right wingers eg demopublicans Whether it eventually comes to that promise of the change in the zeitgeist or not before our species goes extinct looks bleak. Maybe illogical but inside of many so called pessimists I see optimistic forward thinkers who just don't want to participate in lies and delusions anymore. (end of half asleep Entry, someone can probably navigate my terrifying grammar and make sense of it lol)

They judge poor people because they are poor and they dont want to acknowlege that their amount of effort to get by is very similar to the one of the middle class, because the middle class is already in a better financial position from which they unjustly judge. They base their cruel judgement in the exceptions no in the reality of the majority which they narcissitically refuse to see.

I respect your thought processes and opinions, but any contention that the quality of one’s choices is virtually irrelevant from an economic perspective will always be a hard sell, Peter.

Reality "sells" itself in time

[@jessejameskaine]

@@RevolutionNowPodcast I agree, but if it’s true that we have no agency in our lives, violent revolution may be inevitable. Pareto distribution will always make it harder for those with less to accumulate more. Ambition is a real issue. Forcing equal outcomes has pitfalls we mustn’t ignore. It often inspires individuals to take advantage; to do as they please, immersing themselves in endless entertainment and recreation because their needs have been met. I grew up in poor communities and was surrounded by this behavior.

[@DavidSmith-oy4of]

@@jessejameskaine Different environments will create different incentives & behaviours. Why do billionaires/millionaires keep trying to get more? Having needs met is just part of it. Plenty of people volunteer despite having their needs met. Violent revolution might happen, but there are potential options for non violence also. Lacking agency doesn't mean we can't change or find non violent ways forward. It's like confusing determinism with fatalism.

[@emilianolopez4289]

The problem is that it is a religious driven society and the values of religion establish that it is an offense to God for men to build a prosperous society for themlseves without gibing contant worship to God, coupled with the idea that to seek self happiness is a selffish pursuit and also the christian assuption that a heven of earth can never exist, but I believe they are the ones not wanting it to exist.

Value of scientific perspective (thus science and tech) and philosophy of science is what should be promoted, 1st and foremost. This is how we evolve out of monetary-ism, as it is what will create a world of abundance. Scientists and engineers still need to get paid, for now. We should all be investing in science and tech. You bash Elon, but the bot he's facilitating the creation of will take everyone's job (strategic efficiency). The FSD software he's facilitating the creation of will save millions of lives (strategic safety). He's creating a platform for free speech (ethics) which we should all be preparing to enlighten others of a RBE, and make money while doing it. Put the money back into increasing the reach of your voice. Twitter WILL take over KZbin. Don't bet against Elon. Be more strategic and position yourself for the coming changes.

[@projekt5219]

@Charles Brainard You give a rather shallow assessment and framing of what's actually going on. My point here is that sooner than you can imagine Elon's wealth and behavior won't matter. AI will be here seemingly momentarily. Could be 5 years out, or a number of months. This is exponential tech moving faster than humans can predict at this point. But AI is definitely en route. The new Twitter will act as a dataset for training AI for bot. People will be paying to train it human concepts of truth that they input themselves, just like they are paying to train the cars to drive themselves. PJ has an opportunity to populate the new Twitter with info on a RBE, for AI training purposes. Or he can avoid it and stick to his YT channel with only 10k followers and hope enough people hear him and start a revolution that will never come. By all means, do nothing, sit back and gripe about big bad billionaire. Personally, I'll be taking steps to diversify my strategy. Just a thought.... Ya do what ya can.
