/sci/ - Science & Math

A resource based economy is what we have, money is a complicated illusion.

>>3666512

It's good somebody knows that.

Money is nothing more than a replacement of barter. Instead of me giving you one sheep for you pig I give you 100 dollars and you cane use that 100 dollars to buy my pig if you want

I believe in extremism. Both sides would work better than the centrist consensus.

>>3666512
This.

I mean /sci/ is not united on this issue. Everybody has their own social and economic structure they prefer.

>implying we're not living a resource based economy

Right. It's just a coincidence that the countries with the most resources happen to be the wealthiest.

just inurdaes and EK

You mean that thing from Zeitgeist? I found that to be utter bs, by a bunch of new age liberal hippies. And we all know how productive liberal hippies are.

>No competition and no survival problems in the world will make the human race more productive then when there is competition

huurrrr durrrrrrr this is truth everything else is propaganda by the economic structures.

How can anybody somewhat intelligent believe this shit?

>>3666525

I know, but I have just coincidentally seen the resource economy mentioned several times in the past two days and no counter arguments or anything. I was starting to wonder if the resource based economy as espoused by "zeitgeist" (robo communism) had been adopted by /sci/.

Wow you guys are so smart, how did no one else notice this before?

Maybe we can realize that thinking is just a bunch of synapses and stop thinking as well.

>>3666551

i don't know bout /sci/, but it certainly isn't accepted by any intelligent human being who isn't directly profiting from the movie, or the movement started in the movie.

>>3666506

you mean a society where everything belongs to everyone and you can just take what you want.

Wait that's communism?

>>3666559
>It's obvious so it's too mainstream for me

>>3666551
More like it's ignored as complete bullshit promoted only by people who can't be persuaded by argument anyway.

>>3666579
If your idea is mainstream yet most people reject it, why aren't you searching for the reason why?

>>3666604
>most people reject it
lolwut
Let's be clear here, what are you saying most people reject?

>>3666604
Comfort.

I think those guys in the movie should smoke less weed, lift the shades and step in to the real world.

Jacque Fresco: I later calculated that all the destruction and wasted resources spent on WWII could have easily provided for every human need on the planet

Such a smart smart man

>>3666506
What the fuck is that supposed to mean, faggot? What do you think this one is based on, unicorns and rainbows? No wonder you used a faggot as the pic.

>>3666622
But his utopia would have no wars! This proves that you should do what he says!

bump lol

>>3666622
>It's unrealistic to consider that the world wars were an absurd waste

While resource-based economy was originally coined by Jacque Fresco and his Venus Project, I dislike how they would go about it. My more ideal version would be closer to the nation portrayed in Manna. (http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna5.htm))

>>3666638

>implying i said that
>implying a man who doesn't take a lot of drugs can believe that wars will ever cease to exist


>2011
>believing in an hippie utopia, ignoring the fact that life is survival of the fittest.

ishygddt

>>3666648
I think that scenario is more plausible. But it requires benevolent strong AI.

>>3666506

resource based economy? Aliens

>>3666680
>implying social darwinism and finalism

It's like biology really isn't a science.

>>3666697
