A Post Capitalism World: Demonetization Of Everything
-
Also I don?t see how horizontal cooperation will work because of ego, competitiveness and greed.
It won't work, it is against the physics behind the universe and the material illusion of mankind's existence, i.e. experience behind material living, that's what existence is by definition, an EXPERIENCE behind material living or living within the material projection. That is why I strongly emphasize on getting your ego diminished by practicing contemplation and unguided meditations, the latter is not that important actually, this can be achieved without meditation, but concentrating your thoughts may help at some occasions. I also emphasize not to look forward to any -ISM because any social ideology is in essence vicious as it is based on projection of management of material experience. The matter is vicious, that's metaphysics. It is vicious regardless if you believe in it or not. If you fall of the bridge, no matter what you believe in, the law of matter WILL work and you WILL hit the ground/water/whatever is under the bridge. Because that's the law. It will work regardless if a bad or good person will fall off the bridge, that's an unchangeable set of rules, which methaphysically, because any matter is but a projection of the spiritual realm, govern your material existence.
The same goes in regards to social interaction. You can watch the documentaries on Syrian refugees in France and other EU refugee camps. Often there are gangs which form within these communities, which prevent others to leave the borders of the camp without paying them. These gangs in their numbers do not prevail even 5% of the total number of refugees there, yet people cannot do anything about this. Why? Because hierarchal interaction is ALWAYS organized, whereas horizontal is not, this is why a single pastor may lead a flock of sheep with the latter not even questioning the pastor's decisions. That's the law. The only way to evade it partly is to accept the reality and lower your ego, do not join anyone and have no claims on personal ownership, because in essence we own nothing, EXCEPT our personal material experience,but we no nothing of matter. Therefore any claim on the matter regardless of motivation is vicious.
Being close to "thy neighbour" or caring for others does not mean uniting in communities under any -ism. It means to look at the bigger picture, and not to cause harm to anyone, by your thoughts (curses or even small bad wishes may materialize), words or actions. To establish this pattern of life one has to work on his/her own ego, which is who one percieves to be, but in truth is not. There you have your purpose of life. Not to harm and acccept the reality as to what it is, without falling into moral relativism or any other dogma. To do the latter one has to gain knowledge by observation and contemplation, and only then reading. Reading without observation, studying and contemplation is worthless.

I agree with your post. All man s systems are imperfect. One needs to "come out of them".However if the knowledge is false and biased, the observation will be false and biased and so will the contemplation.
So how does one insure the right kind of knowledge?For me, the source of all knowledge must be sought to guide to the right knowledge.
One needs to be prepared to undergo a "revolution" to get rid of the doctrines(false knowledge) planted in them by other systems since childhood.
A very tedious and hard task.
GOD bless you.

I believe all the divided systems ,each one is the power that prevents its people from "coming out of it". Or take advantage of their loyalties to fight for its existence.
The true power, the only real power, is the one that should be sought as all other powers are an illusion and a lie.
GOD bless you.

Fuel for systems are its members ,I call them customers. No customers means business/system is going down/bankrupt.
Unfortunately many customers do not realise they have the power, they think the leaders are more powerful than them.Why they exist? I gave up finding the reasons. I simply do not know the one real reason. It could be different reasons of belonging, like fear of change, pride, false promises, getting riches/rewards....
Anyway, I am weird /unusual. I have never felt I belong to any organisation or country or race or took to systems like capitalism or any ...ism really.
I have always wanted to know why this or that? Even when I did not have my answers ,my instinct was so strong in telling me to stay away from getting involved. I have taken part without really wanting to , rendered to Cease what is Ceaser s, but always had this inner feeling of "you are not part" of this system( any system of countries I lived in).Now, since retiring, I am lucky to do my own things and concentrate on finding out about GOD s system, I do not criticise or question peoples motives/choices . I concentrate on my own problems/shortcomings and treat all people from all walks of life with total respect ,love and fairness . I stopped judging people and systems they belong to,
I have enough on my plate to "take out the log in my eye" so I can see clearly.
Ongoing brother.
GOD bless you.
Peace..

I think demonetization is happening to a degree but there are certainly things which are not demonetised
Of course, changes shall happened gradually, that's why it is called an 'evolution'.
Capitalism after full hard on battle with Socialism / Communism has evolved into a hybrid CapiSocialism and still continue to evolves with the phenomenon of gradual demonetization due to abundance.and will probably always have a high value e.g. a house with water views in a busy city.
Easy to fix, with the advent of technology anyone can have any views that they want in their window house. And changed the view anytime they are bored..
Even an ordinary house in a city or the outskirts of a city is expensive.
Location might be a lesser problem when everybody can work on any place that they wanted.
Even now, "Virtual Office / Shared Office" is a trend, I've seen a bunch of startup companies where their employee either work at home or in some cafe near their office. All of the meetings are done through Video conference.
Not enough? holographic conference is coming...
Also I don?t see how horizontal cooperation will work because of ego, competitiveness and greed. People can be taught to care for others doesn?t mean they won?t look out for their own interests.
Football or other team based sport is a good example of how horizontal cooperation actually works among human.
Actually the first activity that human do together is based on horizontal cooperation; hunting and gathering in group. During those era, 'leader' were seen as merely 'coordinator', he / she will receives the exact portion of the meat as any other members.
And some psychopathy 'coordinator' thinks that he has 'divine right' to rule over others and voila.. king and empire was born, hunting group turned into military group.
There?s a saying in Arabic that poverty is kufr because a person who is suffering will do anything and care about nothing but their own needs.
Not 100% correct.
There has been many cases where human actually capable of performing 'self sacrifice' for the sake of the greater good. -
You?re right. The future holds many intriguing possibilities.
People may still want something ?real?. We can get ocean views here right now just on the laptop screensaver or even on the tv, not yet the window but sure it could be done. Desire for things kinda gets in the way. For example this forum is a great indicator of wanting something ?real?. People love they find likeminded/similar people here but many yearn to see them in the flesh, in their communities etc. So some things will always have higher value but yep things will become more widely available but some things will just be different.
People playing soccer or any other sports work as a team but they all have an agreed agenda. That?s why it works plus they have to hold themselves in position to work together otherwise one?s ego can screw up the game. Life's more complicated
In the end I guess it comes down to ego, acceptance and value. We have to control our egos be more grateful and work on/for the future. And yes there are people who sacrifice themselves/lives for greater good regardless of monetary means.
Right now I've basically got my own personal trainer for free via an app. It's a great motivator so I look forward to seeing what the future technology and demonitization brings

Human perceived reality is nothing but a stream of signals which the brain reconstruct as images, sounds, touch, taste and smell. Research is underway to understand what kind of input signals, where it is being processed within the brain.
The future of man-machine-interface technology will tap straight into either human nerve systems or brain.
By then differentiating between "virtual reality" and "reality" will be difficult.Which opened up another 'philosophical' discussion on what is 'reality' in the first place?
Could what we perceived now as 'reality' is actually already a 'virtually simulated reality'?
The topic was the inspiration for the hit movies "The Matrix".People playing soccer or any other sports work as a team but they all have an agreed agenda. That?s why it works plus they have to hold themselves in position to work together otherwise one?s ego can screw up the game. Life's more complicated
Human cooperation is achievable only through common / agreed agenda.
When the agenda between two human or group of humans conflicting each others then conflict shall occurs.
FEAR THROUGH MANIPULATION is then used by one group to control the behavior of the other group which might not share the common / agreed agenda. Master -> Slave relationship is a good example of that. Clerics / Kings -> Servant / Commoner relationship is another good example of that too.
And the trend of such relationship to work + the success rate of FEAR THROUGH MANIPULATION is already diminishing as we speak, due to wide spread availability of information accessible by anyone, the so-called "Information Age", which already happened as we speak.
-
That?s our reality though ? our brain/body evolved or became to be a stream of signals which people relate to because that?s how we?re made up.
I can?t imagine a future like the matrix yet but I can see how the future might tamper with how people perceive reality and virtual reality. it happens now e.g. photoshopping images.
I don?t know anybody without fear even with all the accessible info we have in the world. Not everyone will have knowledge even if we have access to it and even the most rational/knowledgeable may have fears.

Of course, as 'fear' is the result of warning system within the body.
To warn of imminent danger that need to be addressed. -
Greetings and Peace, all group
Zombie thread!
I'd recently come across the idea of a basic universal income. Even if there are few jobs, under this scheme it would be possible to maintain a currency and rewards for extraordinary ability/talent/work. This would diminish the likelihood of technological stagnation, as there would be extra motivation to strive. Imagine having all basic goods provided for...and still having a nominal yearly sum to spend, and the ability to earn more (should one desire).
