Sometimes I think to be completely (or almost) immune and disinterested of money. To be happy, I would have been born in another era and, far from civilization, perhaps in the Amazon rainforest, among the Indians, or in Australian aboriginal tribes, and, long time before the 'arrival of European settlers, the bearers of so-called civilization ... (a beautiful civilization) ... as well as many diseases.
I say this because I don’t have experienced this situation yet, neither a past life in the heart of the Amazon forests, spending time throwing arrows. I can only imagine this kind of life. What is sure is that those population were living in a particular social situation where the money wasn’t needed at all, the money concept was bring by European, trying to give them the chance of learning this way of life, paying them for their work, trying not to be hated (As if they had rights on them).
We mustn’t forget that in the past European population has been trying to colonize re rest of the world without great result, this left us two world wars and as result we were bounded to leave those population.... It was much better if everyone was heaving a peaceful life in their country of origin.
Going back to our subject, after all I think that the money is just a feeling ... a feeling and nothing else, in fact there is nothing really tangible in money. Having a fridge filled with good quality food, in fact, you have something but in case that someone will face a robbery, will lose, let’s say beautiful clothes or jewellery, but if the thieves steal the money, the damage is higher but at the end of the day, it is just a theoretical damage, or .... no damage.
We are thinking of completely abstract parameters, a total abstraction, absolute, but then will face its repercussions in the real world and that, because of our mentality, our sense of money ... Here is the real problem: our sense money. When there is no money so the stock market collapse, in reality, nothing happens. I'm going crazy? ... I hope not, but if so, take comfort ... Someone used to say that he who does not have at least one gram of madness, it is not so wise as it might seem.
Why, instead, when the stock market collapse something happens and, nothing insignificant but with the consequences are spread all over the world? Because in us the sense of money is too much ingrained. In my opinion, the problem (as I said) it is not in the financial system, the banks, the stock exchange (these mechanisms could be called: pleasant toys to entertain kids), the damage is already in us, in our brains, in our mentality , which gives certain things, an absolute, total, whereas, the alleged value is artificial, already established by pre-planned decisions... (by changing thoese decision we could reach really good results...)
In Mexico, before the arrival of Spanish colonists, the beans were in the Aztec civilization, a great value, but at least those had real value as well as the theoretical conferred on him by financiers, we can say that than.. In fact it is recognized that the bean is an excellent food and they can easily replace the meat. Of course, and this is key, you have to be realistic and take into consideration that people have, however, the deep-rooted sense of money, then here is that these values due to the mentality have a great importance, but is really hard or maybe impossible to change this attitude, this “money mentality”, even forcing this process, he would be only a great pain for people with no results.
In theory you could force people to work for free so that useful things for the society will be produced, in fact, this behaviour will produce a tangible welfare (in some this experiment took place with exceptional results) but when people are forced to do something, you won’t get any results, the goal should be reach through stimulation, which is something completely different.
Certain political parties, without taking in consideration the mentality of the citizen, without any sensitivity, imposed theory and behaviours with a dictatorial regimes, trying to change the system, but everything failed because it was the mentality that needed to be changed and things imposed by force, won’t give us any result. This can be noticed when we see that all politicians, even those belonging to parties promoters of these ideas, earning big salaries stay away from controversy in this regard, making it clear that they, like all the others are fully imbued with this mentality and have the sense of money well developed in spite of the ideal that profess ...
Whereas perhaps the mentality linked to the sense of money will also change (we never know), but for the moment it is not changed yet, I think, whereas these values are only theoretical and not real, when they occur in the collapsing of the Stock market and stuff, others ideas and principles may rise so a new way of living will start. That's what my proposal came out with this new era, sometime changing people's lives, the era of information technology and informatics.
I believe that the computer, which already has over surprised (and not only for the possibility that firms have to manage companies, etc. ... but also in the field of art and music) may become the channel, the link between the money mentality, and a return to primitive life (early in the positive sense) that can help us create the stimuli, without the need of seeing or touching any paper. How can the transition between these two different ways of life happen? Here's the point: whereas the money, even when there are, you just cannot eat them, you can you dress up with coins etc. ... even if you own a lot of money, nothing changes. How, then, people should be convinced, avoiding the paralysis?
Simple: pay people who work to pretend... It sounds like a joke, but it is not. If one is paid to pretend, it's okay if at the time of paying he/she will pay in a “fake” way. Who gets paid to pretend, pretend to pay in turn, when it comes to shopping. It would be dramatic instead, be paid for and not pretend to do the same when you buy. It 's true that the values, when they return to the source will be fake, but the whole production behind this return of fictitious money is real is real and all the enjoyment that people could benefit as a result of this movement.
That's so the State (which in theory should be all of us) has become richer even if the money wasn’t seen. When you give free rein to these mental ruminations, must always be careful not to leave the reality, however, is not synonymous with failure, and utopia is not synonymous with wrong or exaggerated but simply, something that still doesn’t exist. What may be fair but not real? To make it real, it is sufficient be brave enough, under the psychological point of you we shouldn’t be afraid of coming out, to take action in this regard.
The plan then would be to create the huge virtual spaces in numbers (the numbers managed by computer, they could become the means to a future life without money? It’s just a wonder). With this system, you can mobilize so many people, who, through their work, would create welfare and pay by check or cash, rather than to pretend, theorists, the money numbers indicated in Virtual Space (or the Site, or something similar). By them in theory, those who have worked will see their bank account virtually growing; in the capital base, which is completely theoretical and imaginary, you will see the money, only quantified by numbers, fall as a result of the payment.
When managers or responsible for this curious website, (perhaps in reference of banks) have made gains, such gains will be listed on that website or virtual space so the account will grow. The risk of theft would focus only on any hackers who certainly shouldn’t be underestimated, but if someone could evade the guards and enter the website in question and manipulate everything to his advantage, all the unreal value, could always be cancelled, and it may be activated automatically another website that was already working in parallel with the old one, activated automatically and take its place with other passwords and other protection ....
I'm sure, despite my ignorance in the field of economics, that it is possible to achieve all this, we just need to convert the theory into practice, nowadays the technicians can do that, so until the moment as “Our Father” says " Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On Earth as it is in Heaven," etc. ... then people will not move more like slaves or servants (because we are obliged or we have an interest on it) but as children (of God of course) that is to be useful to the emerging of a new society where all mankind will become one big family and, as we know, Family Run Business are the ones that always succeed.
