Did anyone post this?

Founder of the zeitgeist movement asks for 3 answers and propositions for the following 3 questions:

You think we can have an economy where everything is free?

haha.

You're worse than the the worst of the pinkos.

Depends on what you mean by everything and free.... i can see basic provisions being free in the not too distant future (100 years or whatever). Homeless people/diseased people/people committing petty crime are a pain in the ass for society & rich people cant exploit these types too easy.

So... For someone who wants to live the life of a monk for example.. if basic life standards are supplied then they have everything they need/want.

Supplied by whom?

Maybe we will create some kind of decentralized basic resource allocation network system, perhaps some rich people wont like it and try to shut it down/control/manipulate and they might have some success but the poor/others will defend it. Just like how the internet is now.

The basic necessities of life are not so different than the luxuries. They are all made of mostly fairly common elements. What differentiates them is intellectual property. Storing and distributing information is the key. Well that, and the ability to threaten the existence of attackers. But that is also intellectual property. Perhaps a decentralized and distributed peacekeeping system would address this need.

Ok so how would this distributed decentralized peacekeeping system look like? & Whats the incentive for people to "join" it?

We already have a volunteer military in the US. In fact the US Constitution proscribes a standing army. Many communities have volunteer sheriffs and fire chiefs. Why would people not want to volunteer to serve their communities?

Ok fair point, not much to add my end i guess i just wish evolution would speed up. I like the idea of living in a RBE. Bitcoin seems like a step towards this so might aswell just support bitcoin atm.

You got it. A wise man once told me "If you can't go around, sometimes you have to go through." Bitcoin is an energy based economy. It's a stepping stone to where all resources will one day be represented on the blockchain through smart contracts. Its transparency will enable social forces to negotiate fair trading. Eventually, that fair trading will simply become automated.
