Your pension fund is worth almost nothing? Find out why. | Dr. Christopher Sier | TEDxOxBridge The fund management industry takes a lot more than it gives. And what it takes is often disguised and hidden in implicit costs.

The pension fund system is broken by low returns, high fees, and rampant corruption on all levels. This article suggests reforms, but the simpler and better answer might be to scrap it altogether and just pay pensioners directly instead of enriching Wall Street with this $5 trillion unsustainable government set-aside.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth?s laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs?as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
