A crash course in changing the world.

Money's Future? Learn its HISTORY First!

Right. If we are going to think about the future of money we first need to know where it came from, what its history and background is and how its use, its meaning and its pitfalls have evolved throughout the ages.
If there is one thing we seem to take for granted it is that money is a good thing, that it is a great and efficient way to use for human transactions. It is, but...
Why, I wonder, are most, suggestions for the LEARN mission objective in the Future of Money about alternative currencies? This suggest to me something must be particularly wrong with the money that the wh*** of the world's economy is running on. And there is.

If you are not afraid of being shocked (and times irritated by the demagogic presenter) you will leaarn many things about money and the international monetary system by watching The Money Masters, a 3 hour, yes three hours!, doc**entary which will uncover many well kept secrets about money. It's all being told in a somewhat conspiracy theory kind of way, but the essence is there for everybody to see. The makers also have a website. If you make the effort of watching it, money will never be the same for you again, well worth the time.

In the Social Innovation Learn part of Evoke there are 33 secrets about Social Innovation, one of them is: "if somebody already invented it, you don’t have to". Money exists already, we do not have to invent it, we have to redefine it.

My two pennies.

Interesting doc**entary. Innovation without a sense of History will only repeat the same mistakes. I also recomend the book The Monster of Jekyll Island to get a different perspective on the modern history of money and the Fed.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
