Anybody who listened to "Escape! From the Cult of Materialism" mentioned in the previous blog has learned somethings valuable: Adam Smith believed that if individuals were allowed to indulge themselves into profit seeking, societies would become wealthy. Well big business and billionaires indulge between themselves... they exactly follow Adam Smith's theory. And not only them, most people do.

FROM YT ORIGINAL PAGE: Anyone who fails to satisfy his or her desires in this age of the Ego is deemed a loser. But with more than 7 billion people on the Earth, the ramifications of this excessive consumption of resources are already clear. Isn’t the deplorable state of our planet proof enough that "The Greed Program," which has made us crave possessions, status and power, is coming to an end? Or is the frenzied search for more and more still an indispensable part of our nature? We set off to look for the essence of greed. And we tell the stories of people who - whether as perpetrators or victims or even just as willing consumers - have become accomplices in a sea change in values.
GOLDMAN SACHS: There's an attractive way to profit from the $1.3 trillion student-loan bubble
The Next Financial Crisis Will Be Worse Than the Last One The system remains fundamentally unreformed, banks remain too big to fail. December 30, 2017... If you look at the stock and asset markets, as Donald Trump tends to do (and as Barack Obama did, too), you’d think all is fine with the world. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 24 percent this year. The Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index rose 6.20 percent. The price of one Bitcoin rose about 1,646 percent.On the flip side of that euphoria however, is the fact that the median wage rose just 2.4 percent and has remained effectively stagnant relative to inflation. And although the unemployment rate fell to a 17-year low of 4.1 percent, the labor force participation rate dropped to 62.7 percent, its lowest level in nearly four decades—particularly difficult for new entrants to the workforce, such as students graduating under a $1.3 trillion pile of unrepayable or very challenging student loan debt. (Not to worry though: Goldman Sachs is on that, promoting a way to profit from this debt by stuffing it into other assets and selling those off to investors, a la shades of the subprime mortgage crisis.)

Isn't it ironic that money spent on non material things brings more happiness? Why? Because it is the role of money to help us realize that Reality is much bigger than our material possessions

shameless plug... I see. Tnx for the distraction
thank you to all the upvoters out there....
78 upvotes and 22 views, something does not add up though
edited: just looked at a few accounts and find it very bizarre... I hope steem is going to unbug this fast
There are people that just like the ideas, but refuse to dive deeper.
thanks @klevn, you make me feel better... LOL
and mega tnx for your upvote
A society cannot use resources efficiently without money. Take away money and reduce us to the hunter gatherer stage of society. Great idea. Only billions will starve in the process.
P.S. I hope you keep to your promise of only posting here once a week from now on.
why does she hafta keep promises with you? are you going to do something if she changes her mind? what is it to you? why does anyone required to keep promises about posting amount with you? who do you think you are to enforce such requirements?
She is "promoting" a money free paradigm. I am pointing out the hypocrisy of her accepting money while she is bashing money non-stop.
If she had any integrity at all, she would tick the "refuse payment" box on her posts.
So, we know she is a hypocrite to start, and that she mostly posts word salad woo woo. Now we are going to find out if she lied about her future posting. I have a sneaking suspicion that she is just spam posting every woo woo subject she can in hopes that some knucklehead upvotes her so she can makes a few pennies of the money she supposedly hates.
Her ultimate aim is to get rid of money. Now I don't know if you happened to notice, but this platform is built on money. So she really wants to destroy this platform. And I happen to like steemit, so I will continue to point out her hypocrisy.
Don't even get me started on why a money free society is possibly the worst idea I have ever run across.
seems you don't even read these anymore. besides that, since we live within a materialistic society, to speak any message requires you do it within that world and talk to people within it.
she isn't promoting a society of socialism, which I think you think is the case.
I don't think you know what you are talking about.
What you just wrote is pointless.
it is a razors edge, it cuts thru your hypocrisy.. oh the irony.
