Or a reason to abandon arbitrary games, false authority and antiquated traditions. Why don't we base our economy of of the actual resources of the earth as opposed to an idea called money. We can use science and technology to our benefit, but only if we stop being funneled into using it to our detriment by a false economy.
I advocate the Zeitgeist Movement & Venus Project.
A planned economy controlled by the intellectual elite didn't work in the USSR or anywhere else it has ever been tried.
The ideas in the Venus Project are taken nearly word-for-word from the 1917 Russian Revolution propaganda but with computers this time, as if that's going to make a difference.
