   As I began to write this article I found that I had run into yet another duality ( I have in other writing described dual archetypal forms and functions as being a basic primal way the universe works and very integral to what it is ). All this began to pop out at me again as I tried to describe what I thought was wrong with money, and why money has been falling apart lately.

I am a hippy that never dropped out. I have held on to impossible idealism and will not give up. I think the human race is a ticking time bomb and we are at the last tick. So what is the good of slow careful pragmatism that allows time for it all to happen with less than miraculous speed ? Right now we need near-impossible idealism or we need to go extinct so we can stop killing our planet. Other life forms may need it after we have almost destroyed it. Humans seem to be a very clever but unwise species that is not making it. At the very least we could go down with a little dignity. We have no planetary culture with both head and heart. And our numbers are so great we must have that. See you next lifetime on another planet incarnated in another species, I guess.

Strange that none of the economists in this forum

have reacted to your article. I have no doubt that the powers that be know very well that the monetary system cannot last more than another few years, and they are almost certainly cooking up some horrendous scheme and an equally horrendous set of measures to implement it, and it's this rather than an attack on Iran that we need to be worried about. If we put our minds to it, we should be able to come close to working out what they are about to do.

And yet an alternative money system, which really involves no money at all, is, because the whole world is now wired up and connected to each other, quite simple to think out.

Dear Sir,

 

  You have caused me to speculate. Let's see? Hmm. Well we already have a law here in the "United States of Shock and Awe" that says if you are caught smoking a rather innocuous drug you end up in prison for a very long time. And many prisons are now a private corporate thing run for profit. Let's see. Ah! Maybe debtors prison is the next move? If you owe too much and will probably never be able to pay you owe your soul and life to the nearest corporate prison facility. A very nice kind of prison camp maybe. You can have TV even, and a common bathroom down the hall maybe. Oh what luxury. Nothing like a concentration camp. Just a slightly concentrated place with maybe several square yards for each of the sheepl. Baaa!
