Andre, and Chris,
Serious questions:
Do we then get rations?
Are these rations based on a doctor's prescription as to how much we
allowed to eat?
How big are our houses?
If I have two bedrooms and you only have one, then me getting two beds
seems a bit unfair?
Will our houses look the same?
Furniture rationed?
Even hunters and gathers had to work for their food, and then there was
bartering and gift-giving, but if I was doing something creative I had to made
it myself
using the materials that were available, available for all, so I would have to
go and get those
materials. Now-a-days plastics and steel is not available to all, but should
we make them available
to anybody that wants to make something creative? Who would be working to keep
up with the demand
of these products? Do we have to shrink the world population because there are
a lot of people to give
out this stuff? In this New World Order will morals ever be implemented? They
haven't been yet, so, what
makes you think they will be? It sounds like more control and power for people
at the top to use immorally.
A bigger stick to whap people with that don't cooperate.

Subject: Re: [MD] A society without money
Imagine all patterns of value the way they are at the moment but now without
money as a social benefit. What will be different? There is no financial
incentive/ necessity to do anything...not even financial consequences
attached to not doing anything.
Anything and everything is all of a sudden possible for many people.
The question "Why" am I doing what I am doing becomes important. ( along the
lines of the fictitional character in ZMM: our early school drop-out, who
works him/herself up from unskilled to semi-skilled to skilled to perhaps an
academic career).
Quite a number of people will continue doing what they are doing because
they like it. They like their work because through it they can express
themselves. Other people will now have acces to goods and services
previously inaccessable because they are not quite happy with what they are
doing and would like to change (eg some study at Uni level which at the
moment costs 3000 euros/ half year). They do this because they see and feel
the necessity for this not only for themselves but also for "the greater
good".
People will be able to respond freely to their dharma and can now act on
this.
It will be a different and dynamic place to work, live and be born into.
People will care for the environment, themselves and others because not
money but the principle of rta will be the guiding torch. People will
naturally want to improve themselves because it is good.
Imagine there's no heaven...no hell below us.
