| There needs to be a push for private moneys and more digital cryptocurrencies. Especially as wealth concentration and automation are pushing people out of jobs. People cannot be forced to use the same currency system and compete on a playing field which systematically values their labor as approaching $0. They must be allowed to form parallel economies which work for them. Currently, it feels like it's illegal to be poor. You can't do anything without a license due to regulations. Not to mention the media conditioning you have to overcome to achieve the simple goal of living sustainably. I'm becoming jealous of cavemen because a caveman did not have to convince his wife to live in a cave without tap water and electricity, it was a given. They just made the most of what they had knowing that there was no alternative. They would just hunt and wash their clothes in the river. The inconvenience came with some benefits of having lots of time to be out in nature, enjoying the sights and sounds, never knowing what they're going to encounter. Also, they didn't know about bacteria or parasites so they didn't have to worry about anything. The most difficult part of being alive today is convincing your loved ones to cut on expenses. Even if you can have a comfortable life without all the consumable junk, it's impossible to convince most people that this is the case. Life is a constant struggle against media conditioning. The media creates this narrative that you need to have a lot of things just to be alive. For some people, it's possible for them to have all these things without too much struggle but for others it's basically impossible for them to have... so these people have to spend a ton of their energy just fighting these media narratives because that's all they can do. It's like being a salesman except your customers are your loved ones, your product is 'cutting expenses' and your biggest competitor, 'consumerism' has an unlimited advertising budget and its product is totally incompatible with your product... And your competitor runs its ads on repeat 24/7. |
