My comment to The Venus Project's video



About the war. Yes, the cause of war is profit. But its instrument is government and its funding is made through taxation. Get rid of government or at least of military complex and you will never have any war. Also religion, nationalism, patriotism and such stuff play important role.

There was statement that no system, including free enterprise system has not worked. There never was real free enterprise system - there was always some level of government intervention, so you cannot blame capitalism here.

Planned obsolescense lookes like some conspiracy theory. I cannot really make an argument there but I just doubt that that's really the case. After all competition works in technology and if you will delay some innovation your competitor will overperform you on the market and you have a chance to go bankrupt. Not so profitable idea.

"Money do not represent anything real" - yes they do: money that I make doing my job represent value of my work. They represent the value that I've brought into society. If money are just printed and spent by government - yes, we really have problem with that, but not with money itself.

Debt is also a government problem.

Idea about abundence for all. People always want more then they already have. This is why they have progress. There can be no point in it when we have all we need and want nothing else.
Or if try to imagine it - there will be no development for people, because they already have all they need, why develope? It's like in the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve didn't even need conscious for living there. 
Those proposed people as scientists, writers and so on: it's not abundence example. They saw particular problem and tried to solve it. They felt that they need something - it's not an abundence. But yes, it's great, and it happens more and more! Free market and capitalism provides necessary materialistic abundence for people to work for greater purposes. It's government which prevents it from developing and which causes problems.

Resources in common ownership. There 7 billion people on Earth. By this assumption I have 1/7billion ownership of any resource. It can't work even logically: how can I dispose of anything which everyone else also have. Every lake, forest or mine will need some kind of organisation which satisfy all the members of society. And it will need some person in charge. But it cannot be everyones property and have somebody in charge at the same time.

Problem of corporations will cease to exist when you get rid of the government aiding them. Again, it's not problem of capitalism.

All your technological ideas are fascinating and will find a wonderful place in free market. You have great ideas and goals but you should channel you energy into another direction. What we really should fight with is government coercion, violence between people, religion and child abuse - these are the sources of all human problems.
