Q & A
What is the primary argument presented in the script about the social order?
-The script argues that the social order is shaped by cultural information and influences, which program individuals into adopting certain values, such as competition over collaboration, for survival within that society.
How does the script describe the human tendency to cling to established social structures?
-It suggests that humans have a propensity to find something that works within the social structure and hold on to it, even in the face of new, conflicting information that might logically call for change.
What is identified as the 'Fatal flaw' in the activist community according to the script?
-The 'Fatal flaw' is the exclusion of the market system itself as a determinant of harmful effects, with activists instead focusing on individuals, groups, or corrupt corporations.
What is the greatest destroyer of ecology and source of social problems according to the script?
-The script identifies the economic system itself, specifically the market system, monetary system, or free market capitalist structure, as the root cause of many social problems and ecological destruction.
What is the core requirement of the economic system as described in the script?
-The core requirement is constant, perpetual consumption, which drives economic growth and is measured by indicators like gross domestic product (GDP).
How has the American culture's approach to consumption changed from its founding?
-Originally founded on a Protestant work ethic valuing thrift and savings, American culture has shifted towards a consumerist culture due to advertising, now consuming twice as much as before the end of World War II.
What role does dissatisfaction play in consumerism according to the script?
-Dissatisfaction and unhappiness in a population are beneficial for advertising agencies and corporations, as consumerism feeds on inferiority and self-consciousness, translating into identity and social status.

-The market system requires constant problems to maintain public interest in consumption. Problems and cultural influence are necessary for the economy to thrive in this system.
What is the proposed solution to the issues presented in the script?
-The solution proposed is the absolute elimination of the monetary system and a shift to a resource-based, collaborative system that prioritizes sustainability, efficiency, and global resource management.
How does the script view the concept of property in a resource-based economy?
-In a resource-based economy, the concept of property becomes obsolete and detrimental. Instead of hoarding and protecting possessions, people would have access to what they need without restriction.
What impact would a shift to a resource-based economy have on crime rates according to the script?
-The script suggests that with a resource-based economy, where no one owns anything and everything is available for use, there would be a significant reduction in crime, including theft.

Transcripts
the social order as we know it is
created out of ideas either directly or
as a systemic consequence make no
mistake every intellectual concept which
each one of us finds merit with is the
result of a cultural information
influence one way or another the
environment is a self-perpetuating
programming process and just like
designing a software program for your
computer each human being is advertently
and inadvertently programmed into their
world viw if you are born into a society
which rewards competition over
collaboration then you most likely will
adopt those values in order to survive
there is a very common propensity for us
humans to find something that works for
our needs give in this social structure
and then to hold on to it for dear life
regardless of new conflicting
information which might rationally
expect a logical change to occur change
tends to be feared for it upsets our
associations you will notice that
virtually all the activist organizations
in the environmental social and
political movements of the day always
exclude the market system itself as a
determinant of harmful effects doesn't
even occur to them instead they focus on
individuals and certain groups or
corrupt corporations and while it is
needed in a perase basis to Target
problematic areas it avoids the
mechanism which is essentially creating
the problem this is the Fatal flaw of
what's happening in the so-called
activist Community today the greatest
destroyer of ecology
the greatest source of waste and
pollution the greatest purveyor of
violence War crime inhumanity poverty
and Social Distortion the greatest
generator of Social and personal
neuroses mental disorders depression
anxiety and the greatest source of
social paralysis stopping us from moving
into new methodologies for Global
sustainability and hence progress on
this planet is not some government it's
not some some legislation it's not some
Rogue Corporation or Monopoly or cartel
it's not some flaw of human nature it is
in fact the economic system itself at
its very Foundation the market system
monetary system free market capitalist
structure whatever you want to call it
is not only the source of some of the
greatest social problems we face today
it is also setting us up for what could
be called the terminal stage of this
disease where the pathogenic social
value cancer has mutated and multiplied
to a point where we are now faced with
nothing less than the death or collapse
of modern civilization as we know
it every government on this planet is
locked into an economically oriented
social program which is self-serving
unsustainable and destructive at the
core of the economy as we know it lies
the unalterable requirement for constant
Perpetual sick iCal consumption the
entire basis of what we' refer to as
economic growth which in turn is
translated into things such as gross
domestic product which are supposed to
be measures of social progress and the
like is nothing more than human beings
constantly and perpetually buying and
selling over and over and over again if
people do not constantly spend their
money the entire economic structure
including the entire labor system would
completely collapse given this reality
the highest priority of any Corporation
or fact any government that cares about
its economy is to make sure the public
has an immediate interest to constantly
consume it is interesting to point out
that America was originally founded on a
certain degree of a Protestant work
ethic a Protestant worldview where
Thrift and savings were actually
dominant values back then since that
time advertising agencies had to switch
their arguments from utility oriented
angles to those engaged in for emotional
appeal and Status enhancement Americans
now consume twice as much as they did
before the end of World War II the more
dissatisfied and unhappy a population is
the better it is for advertising
agencies and corporations consumerism
feeds on a form of inferiority and
self-consciousness and that translates
very literally into identity and social
status in fact our neurotic need to shop
and consume is actually a reflection of
How Deeply social we are and how
influenced we are by the social
programming and Status orientation of
possessions and appearances and
everything else that's been pushed upon
it let's remember that the market system
requires constant problems in order for
the public interest in consumption to be
maintained problems and cultural
influence is required the more problems
there are the better the economy
generally speaking in this system it is
inherently good for cars to break down
it is good for people to get cancer it
is good for computers to become quickly
obsolete why more money to put it into a
sentence change abundance sustainability
and efficiency are the enemies of the
profit structure Progressive
advancements in science and technology
which can resolve problems of
inefficiency and scarcity once and for
all are in effect making the prior
establishments servicing of those
problems obsolete therefore in a
monetary system corporations are not
just in competition with other
corporations they are actually in
competition with progress itself
you simply cannot have a social
convention where money is made off of
inefficiency and scarcity and misery and
expect a quick incorporation of new
advents that can relieve these
problems we must move from a growth
economy to a steady state economy the
cancerous consequences of the infinite
growth Paradigm Must Be Stopped before
it's too late in the final analysis
given our technolog iCal Ingenuity at
this stage we propose the absolute
absolute elimination of the monetary
system itself there's no reform possible
to stop what the system is doing the
scarcity and waste we see around us is
created by us not some intrinsic process
of nature or some malthusian inherent
tendency we must move from A Primitive
competitive work system to a
collaborative system not only are all
Goods produced in our current Society
inherently inferior by the way due to
the need to maintain a competitive cost
basis in the marketplace but the
competitive system also generates
massive amounts of corruption imagine if
we established an incentive system that
pulls people together to create the best
rather than compete and produce inherent
inferiority think about that an
open-source world where all lines come
together and produce Goods so everyone
can benefit the progress would just be
unbelievable not to mention it would
save tremendous amounts of resources for
there' be no longer a need to duplicate
perpetually you don't have two companies
making the same thing anymore it's a
form of preservation if they work
together is it me or is it absolutely
insane that we import strawberries from
Brazil or bananas from Ecuador or water
from Fiji when all of these things could
be produced locally as jacqu Fresco will
describe in regard to his City systems
everything is as self-contained as
possible as another example consider the
General Route of production from mining
the materials to creating the
preliminary components to assembling the
components to distribution and there's a
constant move of uh transportation to go
to go from one place to another wasting
tremendous amounts of energy very simply
the Earth is a system and must be
treated as such there are resources all
over the Earth and therefore we must
have a system that can monitor these
global resources within a global
technological infrastructure therefore
we have to have a feedback system which
has to be Global in nature coming from
the carrying capacity of the earth which
is the starting point of all industrial
decisions the first step in this we do a
full survey of the Earth's natural
resources you can't make intelligence
decisions if you don't know what
comprises the attributes of those
decisions A System's approach to energy
management on the planet the system is
comprised of real-time data and
statistics the process of unfolding is
based not on a person or group's opinion
not on the whims of a corporation or
government but on natural law and
reasoning it's called arriving at
decisions as opposed to making them we
would compile this information into a
computer database Management program and
this will be the logical means to
Monitor and have automation systems to
correct it that are problematic this is
like a nervous system there's no reason
to vote on anything there's no reason to
debate anything in Congress we need to
move move into deliberate automation of
everything we can given the current
state of technology today there is
absolutely no reason for a waiter to
exist in any restaurant there is
absolutely no reason for anyone to work
at the post office there is absolutely
no reason why anyone should be in
virtually any Factory whatsoever
65% of the American jobs could be
eliminated tomorrow with the knowledge
we have now not Trend projections which
make things cataclysmic but the
knowledge we have have now it's a very
critical thing to point out that
historically speaking the more that we
have moved to automation or what's
called mechanization in any industry the
greater the productivity in fact
productivity is now inverse to
employment in many sectors studied which
means it is socially
irresponsible not to automate as much as
possible for it allows for greater
abundance and efficiency we have to move
from a system of materialism and
property to a system of universal access
access in a resource-based economy where
production is streamlined to maximize
quality and minimize waste and
duplication the idea of property becomes
Obsolete and in fact detrimental people
do not need to hoard and protect
anything they simply need access to what
they need at the time they need it so in
the future if you need to go somewhere
you call up the car that you need it
comes to you you utilize it and then
when you're at your location it goes
back and helps somebody else as opposed
to sitting in some parking lot wasting
time and space for likely 80% of the
automobile's life we waste so much space
and resources with this primitive
concept of personal ownership it is
environmentally detrimental and socially
inefficient by the way property isn't an
American or capitalist idea it's a it's
really A Primitive mental perspective
generated from generations of scarcity
people claimed legal ownership because
it was simply a form of protection it's
also controlled restriction in fact no
longer would someone need to live in one
place one could travel the world
constantly getting what they need as
they move along anything needed is
obtained without restriction there's no
reason to even steal something and this
is a extremely important Point how could
you steal something that no one owns you
certainly couldn't resell it because
there's no money right there you have
95% of all crime gone the more efficient
and conservative we become the more
streamlined we become the higher the
level of abundance we can generate for
all of us today around the world many
people often say I wish we could live
like Americans I know you've heard this
before well no the contrived
ostentatious orientation and conspicious
consumption patterns of the American
culture should be despised by all other
countries on this planet we have 5% of
the
population we have 5% of the population
and we consume 30% of the world's
resources it's insane in a resource
based economy where we base our
production and distribution on physical
reference starting with the carrying
capacity of the Earth where we
streamline our labor expression towards
things that have a long-term social
return where we get rid of the cancer
known as the financial system and start
to share our resources in a diligent way
working together avoiding the false
values of materialism and consumption
pushed upon our culture we find that we
can provide a high quality of life for
everyone on this planet while
eliminating all of the central reasons
for war poverty destitution violence
criminal Behavior Neos it would be the
dawn of a world we could actually label
a civilization and if that isn't a goal
worth working towards I don't know what
is thank
