[@keiper12]

A lot of comments seem to think that this idea is incongruent with capitalism but imagine a scenario where the goal is not to buy the cheapest (in short term costs) item but the best item (where all of the costs, short term and long term) have been accounted for (internalized). Where instead of buying one "cheap" item that wears out quickly and it is necessary to buy many over your lifetime, one better (seemingly more expensive) item that lasts a life time (and thus saves you money in the long term).

[@stopplayingthegame]

We need a bigger change, a change in mindset. We have to stop buying things. We need to live simpler lives, with less stuff. Stuff doesn’t make us happy. Happiness is found through relationships, hobbies, etc.

[@juishysushi9759]

Yep… tell that to everyone living paycheck to paycheck under this system

[@GustavDelius]

I am hoping that videos like this will slowly get the public out of the current mindset that sees growth of GDP as the right measure by which to judge the success of government policy.

[@jornbettin5354]

We need many more such videos and explanations to raise public awareness. The challenge starts with the vocabulary we use to talk about economics, and the semantics that have been built into the economic vocabulary over the last century (winning = more, wealth = financial assets, human nature = striving for personal gain, etc.), which makes it very hard for people to articulate alternatives without being misunderstood. Videos and illustrations can help overcome this difficulty. Beyond the challenge of language, there is also the real danger of inventing "alternative" systems that are simply reincarnations of the old system in a new package. For example any system that attempts to define a universal metric for "better" will run into the same old issues. Currencies such as Bitcoin that are designed for universal use are concrete examples of misguided alternatives. There is a need for domain-specific metrics, to track flows of all the different categories of resources and externalities. Only then can we begin to systematically think about the construction of waste-free value cycles.

[@GustavDelius]

Jorn Bettin , I agree with most of what you say. However I am not so sure that efforts to define a new metric for "better" should be avoided. Clearly the public, the media and the politicians want a metric to measure success, otherwise growth in GDP would not play such a big role. It seems the most realistic way to displace that misguided use of GDP is to advocate the use of an alternative, all the while of course continuing to warn of the inherent danger of any single metric.

[@jornbettin5354]

I am not opposed to metrics for _better_. I am simply pointing out the need for *many* metrics for _better_, and not a simplistic universal one. For example a dedicated metric for measuring _better_ health is desirable, as well as dedicated metrics for measuring _less_ chemical externalities in production, transport, and agriculture, etc. The priorities that different local communities will attach to the various metrics heavily depend on the local context, specifically on the means that are (or are not) available locally to address economic externalities, and on the local severity of the effects of different kinds of externalities.

[@GustavDelius]

Interesting. Perhaps there should be an app for that: Using open government data, the app would provide a summary of "progress towards better" tailored to the user's local community and personal priorities. The app would also allow the user to opt in to feeding back anonymously to government this progress towards their personal priorities and those of their local community. That would provide valuable information for shaping government policy. Furthermore, that feedback could be aggregated into a single metric that could replace GDP. Do you think that metric might provide a useful and beneficial way to measure a government's success? Perhaps the measurement of "progress towards better" will not be the most important benefit of such an app. Instead the educational effect that choosing their own priority settings in the app will have might be substantial. I wonder, is the creation of such an app perhaps feasible already with currently available open data? And if it is, would a representative cross-section of the population adopt it? Or would it just again give even greater influence to the digitally savy? But, given the widespread adoption of smartphones, and the appetite of the public for personalised information, I don't think the idea is altogether unpromising. Perhaps this idea is not new? Perhaps there is already an app for that? I would really like to try it.

[@jornbettin5354]

I very much like the app you outline. In my work I use the following approach s23m.com/methodology/index.html to value chain/cycle engineering. This 5-minute video s23m.com/logistics/index.html illustrates the essence. The approach can obviously be applied at any scale, including at the scale of economic relationships between customers and suppliers. Together with my colleagues I am working on software for representing the links within concrete local economic subsystems. I see no real technological obstacle for implementing the suggested app. The main stumbling block could be a lack of open data on resource and waste *flows*. Remember that waste flows are only required to be tracked to a certain extent, and only for materials where relevant and effective regulation is in place. Indeed the educational effect of gaining a better understanding of the effects of specific priorities could be the primary benefit of the app. I would expect priorities to be readjusted on a frequent basis , leading to an economy that becomes much more conscious of undesirable waste flows (externalities).

[@water2770]

while making "Better" products is a good idea I think a "better" idea is to use a less ambiguous term. the term better itself can mean several hundred different things depending on context. For instance here is a hypothetical question "Which is BETTER a car or a cart?" on one hand the cart is better in terms of being green, its cheaper, and it promotes learning about things like how to handle horses. On the other hand the car is better in terms of practicality, it's faster, can travel longer distances, easier for the elderly, young, and sick to get around. One could argue that the current goal of MORE is BETTER, however i think in this case the term BETTER means Environmental. It's not bad but I just kind of prefer more solid terms.

[@violettippet5246]

Yeah I agree. I care very much about the environment and I do my best to lower my ecological footprint. But "better" to me does not equal plastic bag bans despite the fact that I don't use plastic bags.

[@kellyw6012]

[@DJJonPattrsn22]

You're absolutely right. BETTER is a non specific & vague term that isn't really helpful at all!

[@warrenhohn6293]

Having all this new Technology was to give us all back time to enjoy our families and leisure time, what has happened is the opposite we are all working longer and not having the family time and leisure time. We all spend so much time consuming and giving more to our children, we are addicted to all the new technologies and want what everyone else has. So we work more to consume more, it may be time to hop off the merry go round.

[@positivitysuccessvideos]

You're right Warren. It used to be called a Rat Race. Now we are on a Hamster Wheel. The real wealth is health and time to spend with our loved ones living a fulfilling life. Greed is not good, and sharing is not evil as much as some political 1% backed think tanks want us to believe it is.

Great message here in this video! The fight against global warming and fossil fuel abuse & industry recklessness needs to be fought on all levels, local, regional, national, and most importantly, international. The USA needs to give up it's "me first" attitude of global dominance, and instead approach the need for solutions with an attitude of cooperation and mutualism, toward common interest solutions.

[@olivierfrancois5210]

It's a great video and initiative. In the same spirit, let''s be careful about "renewable energy" and the claims of clean energy... Wind energy creates a huge problem of artificialisation of soils (tons and tons of concrete for each windmill) and of what happens at the end of the quite short life of the windmill. There is also the huge problem of rare metals that are needed in abundance for all these options... Rare metals are... rare, and incredibly polluting in their extraction and refining. This is he same thing with electric cars, that only move the pollution. And actually most models of electric cars are so much heavier than regular cars that they lift just as much fine particulate pollution when driving around. A video or two on that topic would be great to inform people on the impact of those "solutions" and how they are not so great... and not a game changer...

[@STRK3R1234567]

Just some thoughts on a couple of "ideas" in this video: "Collaborative Consumption, better know as sharing" - Tragedy of the commons! Shared items will only degrade quicker if shared among others. Ownership actually gives an insensitive to keep that object/machine functional! "Lessen the wealth gap" - Socialism (you already have your opinions on this) "Open people's eyes to the truth of happiness" - You cant tell someone how to be happy. Likelihood is, the people that need told how to be happy were already looking for a way to make themselves happy.

How often to you need to use a power drill? and have you heard of designed for the dump? People are making things so that they break just so people will buy more! We need better stuff that will be able to last longer. Its thoughts like that, that stop things like like the goal of better from happening

[@STRK3R1234567]

There are many products that are made to last a long time, they just cost more money. By purchasing a nice power drill, I have the ability to take care of that power drill and use it until something irreplaceable (like the motor ) breaks. If that same power drill had been shared between me and 4 of my neighbors, its lifespan would have been more than 4 times shorter. The reason it would not last as long is because of the idea called Tragedy of the commons: by utilizing a publicly shared piece of property, the upkeep tends to be neglected because no single person wants to claim responsibility for the damage others cause to the publicly shared property. By saving up to buy the nice drill myself, I am choosing to buy 1 nice tool that will last many years, while decreasing the number of power dills I would have otherwise bought. In order to decrease the quantity of things we buy, we have to choose the quality of the tings we buy.

[@silg7262]

Okay but not everything works that way, like table saws, you don't need one that often. And thats part of what shes says quality v.s quantity

[@STRK3R1234567]

I agree! To change the world we need to invest in companies that truly have solutions and not in big corporations that keep the same model that destroys people's lives. Invest in stocks that aren't currently a part of the major markets like NASDAQ and NYSE because they are collapsing right now. Instead invest in new tech real world solution companies like TAUG and URBF that will give everyone on the planet fresh drinking water, unlimited resource of energy, sanitized environment and unlimited food supply. Their are few small companies on the major market that will change the world in a positive way too. Becoming sel sufficient is the model to follow and supporting these types of companies helps a lot. Instead of donating money to non profit organizations that still use the same methods to help people through out the world and a lot of that money doesn't even get to where it needs to be, invest that money into positive companies. The best thing is as they grow and help the world you get to profit from the money that you would of given away donating to some other cause.

[@ggonmar]

yes, yes, I do understand her point - the consumer side of view... heck, I do apply it myself sharing as much as I can! however, we should be thinking also on the side of view of the people that make a living out of those devices - no need to bring the big company guys of the video, just a family business that makes... toasters. If we start sharing toasters, that family will run out of businesses... and before doing so will try to reduce costs -> produce worse quality toasters -> breaks sooner..

This describes what I call the "Football Problem". Humans are all about competition, and our economy is a way of measuring superiority. The games she describe are sets of rules by which we measure it. As the rules get more complex, we forget what we were originally measuring. Thus the conundrum "Is it whether you win or lose, or how you play the game?". Our economy is all about "winning", and we need to make it more about how we play the game.

Value exchange changes the definition of money/ledger numbers. Money, at it's basic level, is only an agreed-upon unit denoting value (labor, goods, etc). Participating in the way she says creates a different paradigm of value -- which really changes the concepts and base of "value". Considering numbers on a ledger sheet is a conceit that will be redefined, changed at its base.
