"We all need enough to get by. But accumulation as an end in itself is probably shortsighted and is never going to satisfy us." We know this and yet the capitalist system run by a banking system designed to work like a mechanical beast bent on growth and sucking the money into the hands of the few and fewer. How can this get us to a place where the better good is actually do-able? Why not replace the old bank system with a public currency designed to optimize creative diversity, healthy lifestyles and ecosystems aka align our energy with the bigger picture. Who has the money and the ability to start that process? There's the rub, so much of the money was accumulated by those who think it is the root of their being, they played to win, dog eat dog, winner take all and now we are belief trapped in a system proven to be dysfunctional and dangerous. So challenge is on, let us Change the systems trajectory because suicide is just a bad answer.

The world is like this. It's just cool to be considered the first - like 'discovering' a piece of land that has been inhabited by thousands of years!
