One of the thing that so impresses me about Peter Joseph is his ability to articulate facts and statistics so clearly ,guiding his listener(or reader) to see things in the broad view, to then find themselves glimpsing the connectivity of the issue's roots. He does this not only with facts and reason but with a obvious care and compassion for the masses suffering the consequences of this very flawed system structure we are currently stuck in. The New Human Rights Movement is a great book!

I am generally a supporter of Peter Joseph and TZM, but as someone who has studied the food issue intensively, I feel the need to point out that vertical farms are not a panacea to the food security issue. They are only capable of growing vegetables, and not the bulk of the diet - grains and meat. They may be able to grow fish, but definitely not grains. They also take a lot of energy - light, pumps, climate control - to produce the food, so while they may save the transport energy, they may make up that energy in the actual production. Meanwhile, we have plenty of peri-urban land around cities, which could be fitted with greenhouses for year-round production. Furthermore, the energy costs of producing things like tomatoes year round in canada, compared to simply shipping them in from Texas or mexico, may negate the benefit, and in some cases can be worse. So overall, there are definitely benefits to local production, but it is not a a tautology that local production is always better. You have to look at all the nuances of the system to understand what is the best approach for any one particular item.

This is gold! Thank you for posting this video. I believe the only way out of the market-economy / capitalistic system, is to impose a system enforced by whom cannot be bribed nor corrupted. This can only be accomplished in a macroscopic level through technology/automation, in which goods are still provided under the rules of supply and demand, but without the gear of scarcity needed to turn the wheel. Having a centralized center of command apparatus that surveys supply, demand and transportation can create an abundance the world has never seen. However, we are so used to living in a stratified society , with more losers than winners, that it's unthinkable living under a different societal paradigm. Even if we come up with a course of action, we would have to hit rock bottom before the general population will listen to utopian ideas. Until then, nations will just lean between oligarchy and crony capitalism.
@criticalthinker67365 жыл бұрын
Agreed. I would, however, be careful about saying "utopian" ideas. Jacque Fresco himself believed that there is no such thing as utopia, only viable solutions that work for a given time period. As time goes on, the earth and universe will continue to evolve and develop new problems that will require new solutions and ways of thinking. There will never be a state of "perfection". Now, the only question is will humans on earth destroy themselves before we can even reach the next evolutionary stage.

full automation of all job processes would end the need for people to commute to work; dramatically lowering traffic jams; dramatically lowering car accidents. Full automation would also end work related deaths and injuries - almost all mental illness is related to financial stress. Parents would be at home and not stressing over money and so this would dramatically lower domestic abuse, which would in-turn lead to a much healthier future for those children not affected by it. Women would no longer be at the mercy of the Harvey Weinsteins of the world. People wouldn't get hurt at work and so it would lower the pain pill addiction epidemic. Identity theft wouldn't occur as it is motivated by money. and so on and so forth.

I believe you are referencing the anti-religious commentary breaking down Abraham religion as a product literally invented and of it's time period. Theists and atheists alike have been trashing it's thesis for years. As it turns out, Richard Carrier with a PhD in ancient history, specially focusing on ancient Roman history, took a public grant and discovered there was much weight to the Christ Myth hypothesis. Richard Carrier at one point agreed that Jesus was at the very least a historical person but changed his mind when he researched it more deeply. He's now convinced that the historicity of Jesus carries nearly no weight. Others in the field are slowly opening up to Carriers work. Long story short, this saves Peter much of the scrutiny he has received over the years and further legitimizes his thinking.

At least make it more efficient and cost-effective. What about after things like farmbot.io? There has to a a point where things start to work for a household, and then can be expanded to the block, neighborhood, township, city, county, etc. Is at least a bootstrapping of localized food production possible from the individual on upward?

There is also no government or state that rules over the majority in an RBE.
@spencer23dollars347 жыл бұрын
A few things that Joseph seems to totally ignore. Firstly there is no scarcity in capitalist societies. He wants to "create" abundance that already exists. The more free people are the more abundance there is. It did not come about due to the kind of central planning he advocates. He also totally ignores human nature as if humans can just be reprogrammed by teaching them new things. They cannot. This is the mistake most central planners make. They take no account of the 5% of the population who feel zero empathy at all and if given the chance will take hold of any levers of power they can. So, if you have centrally planned food they will take control of this centrally planned food in order to control society. These people will not go away just because you wish it for your utopia. The only way is to give nobody any access to power, this is becoming more and more obvious.

Writing a book is probably more than you've done. Promoting the right ideas is more than you'll ever do, apparently. You realize we can see what you uploaded, right? C'mon dude... if inspiring people wasn't a functional possibility, then where did the phrase 'hearts and minds" come from?

so the answer to our problems is the application of design efficiency and technology. hmm, ok... where do we get those things? oh yea, the free market.

Uh McDonald's... Ford... You know those names because they introduced higher efficiency into their respective markets. Higher efficiency translates into smaller more powerful phones every year and they're cheaper! Wow what a system
@skaterockerstar7 жыл бұрын
Matthew Loffelmacher You mean phones, rich in precious metals, that become obsolete every year and find themselves stock piled in land fills? That's your idea of efficient? Efficient is a fast food chain that provides indigestible faux food, that again at the end of the work day finds itself in the garbage when just outside the premises there are people starving to death, that's efficient?

Listening to this guy makes me realise just how much of an irredeemable cynic I am. The socialist robot utopia is never going to happen, we are facing a new dark age and it's going to be bad. Resources are not artifically scarce, it is simply a function of ecology. A population of animals given the right circumstances will always outgrow their means of sustenance, this has been studied countless times and humans are no exception. The richest people in the world don't possess more resources than everyone else, fiat currency is a fantasy which can break down at any time and owning the means of production is not the same as being able to control it. Poor people don't have low IQ because they are poor, they are poor because they have low IQ. This is true in the western world because of our job market increasingly requiring advanced skills, in third-world countries things are more complicated but you can't just claim that "poverty rots the brain". You can increase efficiency of production, reduce the land and resource area needed for food production and reduce the need for labor. Then what? Population explodes once again, scarcity hits and once more capitalism thrives.

RatSlayer 420 You mess up right when you try to convey every animal will outgrow the land or means to live...because humans are separate from animals on many levels hence culture, language, conditioning, and technology. Currently our economic system globally encourages constant consumption but are you really denying the existence of tribes or localized communities that have proven to live in harmony with the land? If that's the case, I don't mind pointing you in the right direction. You'll also notice the correlation between education and offspring proves we don't have this "instinct" to reproduce at a rate to harm the current capacity. Education and conditioning plays a big role in someone's decision to have 10 kids or 1. This drop in biodiversity is merely the effects of a market system that operates as if the world is not symbiotic. Treating finite resources like pieces of a game for the sake of paper money. It's ignoring the reality that as technology grows the ancient notion of a "market" needs to evolve into a more harmonious means of resource sustainability. Companies need to work together with open information, rather than to compete just to create more waste from product obsolescence, hence new phones every month with minor differences for the sake of more sales. Products need to be made with the intentions of lasting as long as possible with Universal layouts in order to reuse old models. Lastly, you extremely mess up when you say "people are poor because they have low IQ". I just want to ask, when was the last time you looked into this? 1929? Have you looked into any sociology, psychology study in the past 50years?? It's like your saying "stress doesn't effect health, your health effects your stress" www.businessinsider.com/poverty-effect-on-intelligence-2013-8

So there is correlation between poverty, lower gray mass volume and academic proficiency. I think I've read this article before, and I'm no way discounting the work of actual scientists but as always, correlation does not equal causation. The heritability of IQ is a hugely controversial matter, and hasn't really been made clearer by findings in genetic research that certain alleles correlate highly with intelligence metrics. Meanwhile however, there is no denying the fact that IQ influences your choices- and abilities, in the education and job markets. The devaluing of unskilled labour inevitably causes increasing poverty in individuals and populations with lower IQ, and further developments in labor efficiency and automation is going to make the problem much worse, not better.

"You mess up right when you try to convey every animal will outgrow the land or means to live...because humans are separate from animals on many levels hence culture, language, conditioning, and technology." None of our abstract reasoning and use of tools seems to have stopped us from breeding endlessly and destroying the natural resources we rely on so far, in fact it seems to have had quite the opposite effect. The reason there are communities and tribes that "live in harmony with the land" whatever that means, is precisely because they lack the means not to live in equlibrium with their environment. They lack the means to empoverish their future to enrich their present. Given the choice, humans tend to choose that way of life, just like a group of rats would rather eat the grain supply and die from starvation when it depletes because of overpopulation. You have a good point about education and the number of children a woman has. It's just too bad there are forces actively working against the emancipation of women in the third world, and western feminism has done nothing to help that recently.

+RatSlayer PotheadDude, Poverty and IQ decline are generationally synergistic; direct and inverse are simultaneously true, with observable genetic and epigenetic effects. "Human nature" isn't set in stone, and we can guide human behavior with education and intelligent statistical analysis. Human behavior being what one can do in a lifetime, and human nature being what that behavior produces in the next generation; this is a function of evolution itself. In a society where self-interest has become social-interest, we'd all be educated to possess this value with a full understanding about why it's important. IQ is a narrow measurement at best... I think the point of PJ's train of thought is that it shouldn't matter what your IQ is. Human happiness and flourishing doesn't need to depend on any specific set of traits when we can and should base our life support system (socio-economic system) on real environmental data and scientifically tested methods of management instead of gut feelings, beliefs or mob consensus. This would provide every generation with the best chance of continual improvement. It's not like the people in the space station have to guess at a manual mix of their own air supply and water requirements... we can measure it and arrive at a number of people we can support in a given environment. Then we know not to send more than that number up there (or not to overbreed ourselves out of equilibrium on "Spaceship Earth"). Equilibrium is what most of PJ's message is about, taken as a whole. I'm a cynic too, but I realized that the psychological damage that drove me to that effect is all derived from the system as it stands today (when viewed through systems theory), and that there is a better way. So I'm cynical about everything but this "better way", and I work to better occupy that mental space by learning which strategies get me moving in the right direction. I have no idea how far I'll get, but I want to die at least aligned with undelusional undogmatic principles that are based on evidence, logic and reason.
