So here is a thought I have had for quite a while............I hope some zeitgiesters will read this.
While it is true that there are flaws in the (and I hate to use this term) MONEYTARY system, I don't see what doing away with money would accomplish............
If you take the power away from money and apply it to resources, the system would be corrupt due to resources instead of money, people would be bribed with lumber, or banana's or anything else. When TZM says money is just worthless paper, sure In a way they are sort of right, but that money is a standardized representation of resources and labor. Their are people in the world who will scam for more money, why wouldn't those people scam for more resources.

Okay, well what if Fresco wanted a gold house, their isn't enough gold so he makes Gold seem scarce and takes it to build his gold house where he tells everyone that in his region gold isn't scarce. That is the same BS the THZ says is going on because of the monetary system except I took out the money......money is only the middleman. Its like a con artist selling a sales man a bag full of corn for $100, its a rip off then the sales man sells that bag of corn for $105.................the money is the salesman not the con artist. We get rid of the salesman and their are still con artists.............really I'm using THZ logic and assuming everything they say is true< and its still a load of CRAP.

Let also ignore that in theory the banks already own ALL the money in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
they wouldn't need to force scarcity or start wars, they own all the money what s the point of all the other BS.

I try to think like them and it still doesn't make any sense.

haha I would argue that you could replace gold in the example with any resource lets say its Beetle DUNG, and it isn't the money that is causing misuse of resources. Also its not people who are in poverty misusing the resources, its the people with the power to control said resources, wheather that power comes from money or physical control of a Beetle DUNG farm.

hahah fun faux zeitgiester argument.

"I kinda like the answer to my question of, what about the scarcity of beach front property, with the replies being either, not everyone will want to live by the beach, or we'll just build more beaches.."

Got that answer too. "Only five percent will want beach homes!". Well, that still sounds like much more than we got beaches.

Matt lays down the hammer.

Energy Accounting. Technocracy had a somewhat reasonable solution a long long time ago

What did he propose as an alternative to Energy Accounting?

> Fresco left Technocracy, Inc. for, among other things, believing Energy Accounting
> to be bad.

Does he actually say that anywhere or do we assume that ?

> What did he propose as an alternative to Energy Accounting?

That would be my question too.

But, as its like getting blood out of a stone with answers from Fresco, I'm not sure we will ever hear the answer in his lifetime..

Reminds me of the way to assure kids eat their dinners, before a random toss of the coin decides if they get pudding or not that day after they have eaten all their dinner first..

You don't have to random every decision, just those where its hard to choose one person from another.

Why they even used it in my school to determine who went college or not, rather than bother to base it on any academic ability or interest in the subject..
