There is a better way to protect the environment Otherwise, just like under the soviets, black markets would spring up and people in control of resource distribution would be susceptible to bribes. Because consumption is EVIL! 2+2=4 In order to protect society from evil over-consumers the government would have to watch everybody like a hawk. Everything you consume would be rationed. Hail to the Resource Controller, er… I mean Resource Protector!Ĭan you imagine living under this system. It would have to, in order to exercise total control over all the World’s resources. If World power was handed over to the Zeitgeist Movement, it would function very much like a soviet style dictatorship. And there is nothing wrong with that, it would provide thousands of jobs and a surge in space technology innovation.īut that is my vision of the future, let’s talk some more about the Zeitgeist Movement. Am I right? If gold is discovered on a planet we would be there mining within a decade. There is nothing like good old fashioned greed to get humans to explore new areas. It WILL be private companies who will do the bulk of the colonizing of space in the future. I don’t know about you but I’m not putting my faith in NASA! The more money the vampire of the state sucks out of the vitality of the economy, the less that is available for new companies to venture into space exploration. The biggest threat to our reaching this potential is stagnation of technology via government interference. I believe that we have enough resources left on Earth to last until we are technologically able to colonize other planets. But animals don’t have rapidly advancing technology Why restrict ourselves as a species by retarding our growth? Why not reach for the stars? Is a plant greedy because it takes water up into its roots? Humans are no different, and yes just as how animal populations can get overpopulated and cause a die off, we would also eventually have the same problem. Every living thing wants to grow, to multiply and to prosper. Well my answer to Joseph is that ALL LIFEFORMS are inherently materialistic. Though they don’t like to discuss the rationing part it is inherently a part of their system, just as how Peter Joseph describes capitalism as inherently materialistic. This system would consist of a worldwide database of all natural resources and a rationing system where each person gets only the bare minimum of what he needs to live. It’s principal theory is called a “resource based” economy. Zeitgeist’s answer to the problem of resource scarcity is the restriction and control of human life. This is all a inversion of our very nature. We hear that the problem with the world is consumerism. Religion, the media and many philosophers have ingrained into people that greed is the root of all evil. We constantly hear about problems with resources, overpopulation, damage to the environment, etc. The Zeitgiest Movement finds resonance with a lot of people. The Zeitgeist Movement has a noble goal but as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
