Resource Based Economy (Energy, Work) - Part 2 of 2
Capitalism has helped to progress humanity, but we need to adapt to the new reality of advancing technology and the unsustainable depletion of our natural resources. Some other useful readings: ■ "Aftershock" by Robert Reich, http://www.amazon.com/Aftershock-Economy-Americas-Future-Vintage/dp/0307476332/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1318781553&sr=8-3 ■ "Lights in the Tunnel" by Martin Ford, http://www.lightsinthetunnel.com ■ "Singularity" by Ray Kurzweil, http://www.amazon.com/Singularity-Near-Humans-Transcend-Biology/dp/0143037889/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318781698&sr=1-1 Take a look at the modern manufacturing process to see how automated it has become, http://youtu.be/kvf29R7nXlM. Economic stagnation is the result of too much control over too much wealth in too few hands. Economic growth is only possible with a vibrant mass market of consumers who have the means spend, http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/03/29/business/20070329_TAX_GRAPHIC.html. Notice how unemployment lasts longer in the last four recessions than all previous ones, the result of offshoring and automation, http://cr4re.com/charts/chart-images/PercentJoblossesSept2011.jpg.

The system this man ...
The system this man is talking will never succussfull work. First off, If you don't have to work then who will be out planting the fields to produce a crop? Who will assist you in grocceries stores? Who will build the airplanes and manufactor cloths? There has to be some kind of incentive for people to want to work. In the current system people work because their incentive is if they don't they will starve and be homeless. I like his ideas but it needs a little work.

I note that Bill Gates would never had invented anything without his going to college for awhile. The social interactions stimulated his brain along with a few of his subject curricula. Some peiople like to say "see, you don't need any college"

let's make this movement famous, just like Kony (except positively)

Great so nobody has to work ever again and we all spend our life watching tv, doing drugs and fucking hookers or what? All of humanity would become fat decadent slobs

This video does not mention what form of government there is, nor does it say anything about land ownership. HOWEVER, even in Soviet Russia you 'owned' your home, unless their dictators needed that land for whatever reason. Under this system one could still own a house, and whatever there is inside. The whole point is that energy and the basic human needs are free, and shared, but under this system land ownership is still there, as is possession material.

Upon what basis is the house owned by. If resources are shared like oxygen how can it be mine?, that is the question.

How do you know? 1984 is antiquated and iRobot is a Hollywood film. The fiction you need to derive ideas from would be history.

They are works of fiction. But their senarios are very plausible.
MudHut67 on 2012-02-23
You make no sense. ...
You make no sense. You will still have a house, a home, a place of residence. So naturally you'd keep your painting there, wouldn't you? How can you not have a house if it is abundant? That's like asking where can they get a glass of water if water is abundant. Really, that made no sense.

So you base your views on fiction, good to know.

No, but he's designed a lot of things and worked for a lot of companies including Universal. You don't need college if you're smart enough and already getting jobs do you, idiot. PS Bill Gates is a college drop out.

Jaques Fresco is full of shit. He never even graduated high school or went to college.

1984 Brave New Worlds iRobot Nuff said this RBE idea is crap! Humans will just becomes slaves to the machines and the collective.

This societal system, is what will most likely follow after the next economic collapse, which signs say is where we are headed. Our history is one of birth and decay. The feudal system was born, work for a bit, stressed itself to its limits and died, mercantilism followed the same path. It looks like "Free market Capitalism" will go the same way. It has been useful, it has had it's time. We are now seeing that system get stressed to its breaking point. Don't worry, this will be.

"If you make a ...
"If you make a painting that you enjoy, you will enjoy giving it to other people, NOT SELLING IT." Art work by nature has sentimental value to the one that has worked on it. If one desire to keep my painting in a RBE, where can they store their painting in a safe place especially if housing is just as available as water or air and is communally owned. This RBE is a naive idea at best and fascism in a clever disguise at worst.

It has merit & intrsting points, but ther wil never b a time with no money, its called communism, & history shows that its a utopia. Also its hard to believe that humans wont work at some point in time, our nature is too competitive & we just cant sit still, robots may replace us, but if robots'll invent for us, they wont need us ;) In my opinion there will always be division between societies, not necessarily financial ones, might be intellectual or may b of som other kind. Anyway, interesting!

There already was a TV show the Exemplified a Resource Based Economy and that was all the Star Trek Series!

what most people ...
what most people fail to realize is that..... the Life of a typical Fruit Tree will outlive any human being 10,000's times over, and a single of those trees could sustain a 100 families in a single harvest, so I think the earth is naturally equipped to sustain all life on earth. It's just.... there's a bunch of bullies who want everything and take from the weak and poor. We shouldn't worry about population growth because only a small percentage ever live past 65 unlike a fruit tree.
