Toward a World that Works for Everyone
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.) To return to what was really more my question than yours, bb, I confess I don’t know how we’ll guarantee distribution after redistribution. Once everyone has an adequate income, who will work? Who will drive the trucks, deliver the mail, fly the airplanes? I do not know. But I know […]
I’d like to answer a question from bb in more detail: Hello! The taxpayer-funded UBI: This is the last blow to small businesses (my children–small business owners– already pay 37% in taxes and work 7 days a week) and the working taxpayers. Big business not only doesn’t pay taxes; their teams of lawyers get them […]
Any new social initiative, to be lasting, in my estimation, must leave no residue. If we correct the social imbalance between men and women, for example, by harming a lot of innocent men, we’ll create residue, which will need to be addressed in the next round of dissent and unrest. And in this way the […]
Remember I said that we keep our books, articles, and databases free – relying instead on your donations – so that a poor African child using a public-library computer could have full access to them? Behold that child. (1) (From 2019) Congo student: ‘I skip meals to buy online data’ Gaius Kowene, BBC News, Kinshasa, […]
Clearly we’re not going to be able to cover all the bases on foundational values for Nova Earth in a few articles. To fill the gap, the Golden Age of Gaia, in the person of myself and Kathleen, have drawn together articles we’ve written on the philosophy of Building Nova Earth (Suzi is working on […]
Time to do away with “rich” and “poor.” Time to Do Away with the Super Elite Nathan Robinson, Guardian, July 18, 2020 (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/18/ghislaine-maxwell-power-money-elites) Ghislaine Maxwell now sits in a jail cell, after having been denied bail on charges of sexually trafficking minors. Maxwell is alleged to have recruited underage girls for the billionaire pedophile Jeffrey […]
(Continued from Part 1, yesterday.) The point I wanted to make however is: what do we do in the face of this constant change to maintain our equilibrium, our balance? Things are going faster than I can keep up with. What do we do? I can only say what I do, which I’ve been doing […]
If we were to see the ending of the careers of corrupt politicians, of big business’s control over the finances of the world, of the military-industrial complex’s grip on the world, etc., I think we could all agree that we’d be in a time of terrific, even revolutionary change. We may be saying to ourselves, […]
It doesn’t matter if what threatens our society is job-consuming automation or economy-crippling Coronavirus. When we go to reconstruct, we need to remember certain basic principles. I was going to reproduce just one section of a two-part article I wrote on the subject in 1995, the section on “value is a function of agreement.” I […]
Reposted from 1995. (Continued from Part 1.) (5) The Resolution of Dissonance Creates Paradigmatic Breakthroughs In the course of creating a largescale employment project, dissonance will arise. Disagreement may ensue. A scheme may be abandoned. But history shows numerous examples where dissonance has been the occasion, not for abandoning a scheme, but for creating a […]
If we can allow ourselves to dream out loud, how might a global network of light stewards of the Mother’s wealth operate? It could be a loose confederation of people, all alerted to common opportunities, much as crowd funding operates. The individual lightworker would then make the choice of what to support and what not. […]
