Peter Joseph's latest radio address!

10/6/10 - Peter Joseph: 8 Lectures- #2: "A Resource-Based Economy" - The Economic Model

 

[TyraeKlouds]

A few awesome points that Peter made earlier today...

"Hello everyone,
I wanted to go through two quick things that I keep seeing around the Internet from both people promoting the movement and denying the movement.

The First Point:
Stop talking about robots and mechanization as though it is a defining feature of a resource-based economy.

A resource-based economy in and of itself has absolutely nothing to do with mechanization. You will notice that in my second lecture I don't make any comments about mechanization in detail.
Why? Because the system could work perfectly well without mechanization if the values shifted accordingly. A resource-based economy is about resource management and then the re-organizing of labor to be as optimized as possible once the monetary system is removed -- meaning nobody would be forced/enslaved into meaningless occupations which do not have a social role, directly.

So -- if you encounter somebody who says the zeitgeist movement/the venus project is about robots doing everything, do not defend mechanization or anything else. Simply state that mechanization has nothing to do with a resource-based economy in and of itself - rather it is a natural consequence of technological evolution to apply mechanization -it is applied efficiency. The resource-based economy simply carries the trend forward in a more liberal way.

Second point:
When you break it all down -- the only real argument anyone can come up against the movement is the idea that "human nature" will not allow for such a system regardless of how sustainable because there will always be people who want to "abuse you" or whatever. This is classic capitalist free-market/religious propaganda where the illusion is created that anything outside of belligerent self interest as the driving mechanism will generate serfdom and despotic forms of so-called socialism. This is the modus operandi of many subcultures now who have no understanding of anything outside of an old, outdated religious world that views human beings as defined internally and possibly "evil". This is obviously total bullshit and nothing in the world of behavioral science shows such a "non-causal" predisposition. Nothing.

Understanding this -- a resource-based economy defines itself and has no relationship to human society at all in its empirical approach. It does not matter how many human beings there are -- it does not matter how distorted the social climate may be -- it does not matter how many resources there are on the planet -- it does not matter how scarce water is --etc.--the tenants of a resource-based economy still holds true, regardless. The methodology is always the same.

From the standpoint of evolution, I find it extremely improbable that we humans have a "nature" which will not allow us to achieve optimized sustainability on this planet. This is like saying that there is an intrinsic flaw within the human organism which will not allow for it to progress and hence it will self-destruct regardless. It is preprogrammed... there is no evidence for this and again it is extremely improbable.

So- keep those two quick issues in mind as they repeat over and over again out there. I'll add more as they arise."

And here is a link to the original post.

New Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Official website is up!

... Albeit a bit under construction still, lol.

Also! Pretty sweet flyer made by a gentleman named Cliff from the...I think Cali Chapter? Nice guy, he's helped the Chicago Chapter out quite a bit.

... Have a listen.

Look!! Peter is looking for Press Release writers!

TOPIC: PRESS RELEASE writers needed

Quote:

Everyone:
It seems everyday new data is coming out about issues related to our pursuits; we need to put those points in the correct context and inform the membership/public. As you know, there is a PR/Newsletter team:

www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/joomla/inde...d=439&Itemid=953

We would like to find a set of reliable "staff" contributors which work in certain areas so that when new information comes out, they can compose an article to encompass the data, which will be sent out.

For example:
MIT Econo came out recently saying automation is stealing jobs:
www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-1...-jobs-economists-say
www.good.is/post/automation-insurance-ro...g-middle-class-jobs/
econ-www.mit.edu/files/584

This is the kind of thing which should be condensed and presented in an article to the public-in the context of RBE.

Same goes for the endless social breakdown news- like this:
www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/10/sp-60-countries-bankrupt-50-years/

The Google Car is huge if you know about a RBE application:
international.esan-today.com/google-auto-driving-car.html

This is what I mean by flooding he internet, one email to our 430k mailing list and it will spread.. but we have to have something to spread and everyone currently working with the global site is strapped for time- including myself.


So- if you can write and follow the news, here are some possible categories:

Advance/abundance/automation creating technology
Social Breakdown - Environment
Social Break Down - Employment
Corruption - Government
Corruption - Corporate
Poverty rates/inequality

etc.

This kind of PR work is more important than videos or the like. These are the kind of articles that could make it to syndication through independent media if they become popular.


email article submissions to:
newsletter@thezeitgeistmovment.com

1-2 pages.

I know some of you guys are amazing writers, so, get at it!

Senduin doesn't count, he's my mule, lol.

I'd like to thank everyone for joining up with the new TZM Gaia Guild. As I stated in the PM I send to you all, I am working on making this guild as "official" as possible. In fact, right after this I will be making a post in the actual Zeitgeist Virtual Chapter Forums to let everyone know about us here on Gaia. Apparently there is a pretty big group on SecondLife which is pretty awesome; I've seen a few screen shots of virtual models of Jacques RBE in SecondLife; very impressive!

Anyway, please feel free to post away on these forums here. Tell us what you know about the movement. Please please please as questions! post in the Introductions Sticky so we know who you are and how much you know about the movement; not for critisism but so we know where you stand. There is a million in one books, videos, movies, and audio clips. There is SO much information; some of us have nothing better to do than sit around and take it all in. Some of us are crazy busy and don't have much time. Let us know where you're at!

Also, please, I can't stress enough; get in contact with your local Chapter. The Zeitgeist Movement, despite what the trolls would like to have people her eon Gaia believe, is a Global Movement. We have Chapters in countless countries and languages. Help out where ever you can. TZM Chapters

Also also, Join the TeamSpeak! You can find me on there just about every night. I'm usualy on there DJing and hanging out in the DJ Booth but, aside from the fun, the people on the TS are a wealth of knowledge. If I can't help you out with something, maybe they can. Not to mention, Peter Joseph himself is on there at times as well as Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows. This is a Global Community and it's wonderful.

A bit of a "where are we now": The third movie Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is about complete and will be released in January. The main Zeitgeist website will be getting an overhaul soon (possibly after the release of the movie). Hmm... I think thats it for now.

Welcome again!
