Banks don't loan you anything for they have nothing to loan. They accept customers deposits and promissory notes from so-called borrowers and fractionalize those negotiable instruments up to 10 times creating fiat out of thin air. You fund your own loan when you lend the bank your promissory note and yes, you are the creditor who lent the bank something of value and they return it to you as a loan plus usury.

Much of Watts's predictions, concerning the inevitably of pointless work, endless bureaucracy, and the age of all-encompassing advertising /propaganda, has of course come to pass. He was a truly brilliant, perspicacious man. David Graeber captured this, incidentally, in his 2013 essay on BS jobs and expanded further in his later, excellent book, "Bullsh*t Jobs." But Watts saw it all coming.

[@biasedknowledge]

I love how this talk exposed the status quo bias that exists around our relationship with work and money. It’s so true-people cling to outdated systems and resist change, even when technology can eliminate drudgery and improve lives. A family member of mine worked in manufacturing for years, but as automation took over, he struggled to find meaning because of that deeply ingrained belief that work equals worth. This conversation opens the door to rethinking what labor and wealth really mean in the modern age

We're already in a depression. No one wants to admit it. But when you cant buy with money, then your effectively in a depression whether you know it or not. The only real question is how deep will this depression take us. Will it cost us our homes? Will it cost us our jobs? Will it cost us our family members? Will we, ourselves live to see the end of it? Its a real concern. I think Ive seen where 12 million Americans died of starvation during the great depression of the 1930s. Ive not heard of how many lost their homes. Its been estimated that only 25% of the population became unemployed during that time. I have heard some people say that this depression will be worse than the 1930s depression. And I try to encourage everyone to get a small partial of land to grow food on. Trucking companies will go bankrupt and no one will be bringing imported food to your grocery stores because of run away inflation. Hang onto your land and learn to grow your own food. Your life may depend on it. Sorry about the doom and gloom, but preparing for the worst and hoping for the best is all we really have as things deteriorate further. Help your neighbors. This will build bonds that will help to sustain you. It is the wisdom my grandfather passed down to me and now I'm passing it on to you. He told me that nobody had any money during the depression and people were so hungry, they were eating the bark off of trees. You need to prepare

A tool of greed, yes, because it doesn't spoil like everything else and so allows hoarding into infinity and beyond. And greed is a self-preservation mechanism, a reaction to scarcity, which the (monetary) market system is based on and perpetuates, greed is hoarding and the result of hoarding is property, which again is causing scarcity, because what one has too much of is missing for others to survive, it is bad enough by nature, but money increased it to such a level that individuals hoard basically the entire planet and so control all of humanity with systematic blackmailing which they call "money incentive". The (monetary) market system evolved from a system of self-preservation to an anti-economy and finally to a cancer ideology, because to try to overcome artificial scarcity created by property and the contract law, exponential growth of consumption is required for artificial demand for labor, which means overproduction and extremely wasteful production, consumerism, planned obsolescence, etc., turning limited means into exponentially growing waste mountains, while the non-ideological definition of "economizing" is to make the most use of limited means while avoiding and reducing waste. Unfortunately Watts didn't get it and got stuck in that "energy" nonsense, while energy is actually a great example for how to know value, energy is expressed in SI units, like every real value, this is what is required instead of the absurd abstract token money that represents nothing but itself. He made some valid points here, but completely failed on the the underlying ideology, the actual system that is based on scarcity and inefficiency, abundance, sustainably, longevity, peace, health.... is the death of the market religion, no problems can be solved but more must be created to preserve and create jobs, it is a war on progress and freedom aka. unemployment.

A person operates a forklift to move skids full of boxes. The renumeration is more then the person who placed the items in those boxes. The person who assembles the items to be put into those boxes is paid less then item placer. The Truck driver is paid more to haul all the items in all the boxes on all the skids to a destination. This cycle then develops into a palindrome upon arrival at a distribution facility. Someone unloads the trailer with all the skids and someone else loads them into another trailer and another driver delivers that skid to a store. Another person unloads the skid. And yet, another person disassembles the skid and disperses the items throughout the store. In the end, every person involved ends up the same. Struggling to peacefully navigate the traffic required to deliver these items or to pick them up at the store. Money can grant you access to Instacart, so you can avoid this headache.

[@Wilson84KS]

General Market Saturation, the point when people have enough of everything that is not used up and reduce consumption and so demand for labor, increased by technical efficiency through technology. The Great Depression was the natural end of the (monetary) market system, because market saturation means abundance and abundance can't be sold, there is no point in trading if abundance is given. But it counts only for those who had money to satisfy their needs, to reach global abundance a global UBI is needed, which cause a consumption boom like never before, business would move and expand and this way the missing infrastructure would be built, meanwhile data could be collected to use it for feedback loops, efficiency protocols and production and distribution algorithms for Cybernetics, a self-adjusting adaptive system that makes sure that there is always enough but never too much and is reducing waste this way, a true economic system by the definition of economizing, making the most use of limited resources while avoiding and reducing waste.

The hoarding of wealth and the pervasive nature of greed are fundamental contributors to the world's challenges. Humanity often prioritizes money over the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. This is not a complex issue; money is a human invention, not a divine gift. The pursuit of wealth has created a vicious cycle that enables manipulation and control over others. In this context, power and money become potent weapons, distorting values and undermining the greater good.

[@x1plus1x]

True wealth is access to resources. The Earth is rich with resources. There is way more than enough to feed, clothe, house and provide for everyone, and can provide habitat to all manner of creatures. We only have to get out of the way with our selfish ideas of manufactured scarcity. We have to leave the Earth alone, so to speak. We have to stop mucking up the air, water, and land. We have to figure out a way to be in balance with the Earth. If we do not, we will not survive, and the great abundance of life on Earth will be greatly diminished.

Money is controlled by the few, so it's not a fair factor which leads to disasters.

If money was real,the world as we know it,would be a thought of the past.

Alan Watts says what I tell everyone. Money has no actual value...it CAN'T, as it does nothing beneficial.

He said it but I will clarify : Gold is real wealth . Everything else is currency . If you want an experts advice : Gold , grub, ground , gas , guns.

Stop inflation...return to the gold standard.

[@jordangourley3955]

The only thing currency can possibly be backed by is labor. That’s it.

Forgetting about the real commodities this would make sense.

Time to wake up folks.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”-Thomas Jefferson

The world is a horrible disgusting place where humans are treated disgusting and the real life problems are hid and we all are fed a lie. Why would anyone want to come into this life knowing what actually happens. More than ever we are struggling to be left to suffer if you don’t have wealth. What a sad place that’s designed to help and ruin people

IMO. Money is a representation of assets or services.

3d printers are cool in that they can make anything of any shape only limited by size. One product slows in sales just change the program for a bit and print something else.. no machinery to change just filament. 3d printers to will get better... they never did make it out of that reprap stage of production.... it's still open source stuff. Patents stagnat advancement.

It's just a big game of Monopoly and we just keep running around the board while the elite change the rules as we play.
