That's a very good point! at present it's swallowed up by the economy and most likely ends up funding the antithesis of sustainability
what is known in economics as growth.
As there is no distinct link any more between the money that exists in the world and the resources that money represents it will ultimately add to the mess of interest vs debt
What is clear in economics is the idea of growth boom when a particular sector of the economy experiences a growth boom lot's of money and resource is thrown into that sector in a bid to capitalise on that niche of the market
That is pretty much how the stock market functions and it is also how the weapons and oil industry's maintain a dominant strangle hold on all other sectors of the economy. Every one needs to get from a to b every one needs to keep warm and everyone needs energy
If you introduce abundance into a system that relies on the illusion of scarcity. how do you maintain that strangle hold on what is the biggest profit making industry in this entire godless world?
You don't instead you fill peoples heads with glamorous ideas about what they will never be.
You sell them things and make them dependent on dreams and ideals they will never become.
You make females feel like they can't leave there houses with out plastering on a ton of shit make up that makes them look worse than if they needn't of bothered.
You make most of the drugs that promote and increase perceptive ability illegal
You sell them shitty fatty food that makes them unfit and incapable
You make most of the drugs that dull the senses and make people dumb legal
You broadcast Ricki lake/trisha/jerry springer for 24 hours a f**king day
You make the news un-objective and one sided
You make people feel like it's OK to live in a world that is completely unequal where %80 of the world live in slums. as long as the %20 have there relatively over-privileged lives, That would be me and you by the way.
You sell people the idea we need weapons to feel safe and maintain homeland defence
You give them false religion false hope and false faith in place of any kind of instinctive spiritual ideas of independent and unconditional love
And most of all you sell people the idea of a thing called democracy an idea that each of us is free ultimately in making a choice in the way society is run, when in fact our systems of government are anything but democratic and are in fact very much draconian and totalitarian
Unfortunately though where all to blame for this current situation because we all support this shit and don't make the right choices
im not suggesting im any better here either im really not im just as much of a shit c**t as the rest of you but sooner or later the time will come when people are going to need to start saying what are we going to do about it all together collectively as a mother f**cking planet
Or why not just waste 100's of thousands of years of evolution so we can become the cultural equivalent of a bunch of muling f**ing cabbages Like I said im properbley just a sheep that's fallen from the heard who belives in the words of his heroes and idols
and has taken far to many evil psychedelic drugs whilst reading far to many evil books.
There's a part of the film, little big man where the Indian chief explains it all much more succinctly then I ever could.
He say's the difference between white man and the human beings is where white man see's everything as dead and inanimate the human beings see everything as being alive the rocks the ground the clothes are all alive and part of the dance of life and are all alive
(the human beings where what he called his Indian tribe)
sorry if any of you felt the need to read through all of my laborious rant I will kindly shut up now
