INFLUENCERS & CURRENCY

Should I start with a story?

So I have this bike, ye? In a year, it’s been knocked over 12 times in a year. Sometimes my fault, mostly others hitting it with cars or sitting on it and dropping it. only once have I found the person who did it and get the insurance not fix her. I had prayed that of all the things I have, because I have so little, I wanted to look after this bike, to keep it as I got her. In that time, I’ve come across shitty support that do not feel her, bending back parts as changing them becomes superfluous. and now I am hoping to find a qualified BMW motorcycle mechanic I can trust, and it looks like I have to go Gosford.

If we were in a world where we based status solely on quality, this would not be happening. We wouldn’t build obsolescence in things, we wouldn’t be wasting so much energy on price, and we certainly would not be the monoculture that is business as we know it. The modularity of what humanity is becoming is unbearable.

I’ve been watching a lot of stuff on change, on new innovations, on far out ideas, on discovery, on politics.

There are some core frameworks that we believe, and therefore define what we fight for, and how we move forward. These seem to be politics as the vehicle to curb the greed and avarice of being human. It’s all our fault, and so the pioneers we trust become power-tripping dominion owners, and so we fight for someone new using the same system that put these people in in the first place. We think we are doing something to the point where their banality and stupidity is obvious. It’s easy to point at Trump with this argument, but think how many leaders do it for the uniform, who dictate, who play the fascist, to the point go murder. And now even mainstream politics does the same thing, although they may be more covert about it (Obama).

But we keep doing it. yet behind all this are 2 influencers. They are not on Instagram. They are the corporates who live unsustainable practices, and the banks that make money on the money. Yet, instead of really transforming the monetary model to the point where status is about creating sustainably, we fight for ethical practices in certain sectors: energy, mining, climate change, waste, forestation, wildlife, water, drugs, human rights, etc. Add the cultists about flat earth and levels of mysticism to advance only for the few (controlling scarcity)but making sure not to empower too much. Like that cancer is given to those people being bad in a past life v food being grown badly, et al. Fucking amazing; another cult.

In this perpetual loss of empowerment, we find little ways to show the alpha. Yes, we can exercise and eat well in our little paradise, but we forget all the resources and labour and the people we step on to be able to live this way, chance that we were born in a place where we have access to much a part of this, too. It’s easy to be mystical and tell the story we are better and it’s destiny, etc, the point is all decisions are global.

We have loads of people wanting to create something. This is priceless. We have loads of access to be educated and learn. Human nature wants to trust as we are all inherently good: that’s why we are such shitty liars. YET, we use a stupid scarce driven money model to value this abundance. So what do people do? Gurus attach money to abundance. Publications say there has to be inequality for success. FFS. How fucking stupid. There will be inequality, but what type are you talking about? Inequality created by you? How delusional.

So, while you all fight for change for a better world that collaborates and loves, it will always be a dream if you DO NOT CHANGE THE CURRENCY TYPE YOU USE! I’m not talking about another ICO or a cheaper payment system or some fandango community currenxy that’s only for small communities because people think it can’t scale (why would the advantages of local currencies not scale and keep a country disempowered with a debt based model?). I’m talking about erasing fractional reserve lending, destroying the commodity of money to make it only for exchanging wealth. Owning money kills people. So let it go.

We are living lives with so little creative capacity, with so little empowerment. I do not want to sell you a course. I do not want to even be paid for creating a new money model. Because I know the absolute empowerment I can achieve is founded on everyone being as empowered, and self-aware, as I want to be, too. It all happens AFTER this point. It is not static object of achievement. It certainly isn’t being idolised for it. Who cares? It is the action of being that matters. Not the object of being.

People say God is. They are wrong. Gods do. Way cooler.

Gods empower. Devils disempower. It has nothing to do with what you might think of yourself.
PS if I get people saying I am trying to be God (not a God) and I’m ego tripping and you don’t get you are a God, too, then I wish you well on your little journey of change.
God made the earth, yep? He is love, yes? He didn’t sit there and watch it all happen.
And no, this is not an argument of God v evolution. It doesn’t matter.

There are lots of currencies out there, but if they do not answer how to incentivise creating sustainably/regeneratively, they’re a waste of time. Mine isn’t.
