Actress Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Fast & Furious, Machete) At Los Angeles ZDay Event

[Jim Casey]

She says she loved the first 2 Zeitgeist films, and finds the 3rd awesome and inspiring.

 

[TIMB0B]

Meh.

The core idea advocated by TZM is an anti-capitalist system, replacing current civilization with a money-free and cybernated "resource-based economy". They promote replacing human labour with automation, government will be through collective participation of the public, aided by advanced cybernation. According to the movement, there will be no decision-making process, decisions are arrived at by using the scientific method, based on the carrying capacity of the Earth, rather than human opinions. The replacement of human decision making by artificial intelligence is termed 'Social Cybernation'. Private property will not be abolished, but it will be become obsolete as culture grows, being replaced by "a system of universal access".

It is interesting to note that an individual with a very high monetary income as well as celebrity social status would be inspired by the idea of a society without money.

 

[silverhandorder]

LOL no its not interesting at all there are plenty of rich communists.

That's because she can't think for herself.

Ever wonder why folks with lots of money would want to abandon the use of money?

That's because she can't think for herself.

Nobody really "thinks for herself/himself". All of our ideas and opinions are based upon our values, and those values are shaped by the cultural environment. Your ideas are a reflection of your society.

The multiple influences on the minds of individuals generates perceptions based upon what is comprehended. Understanding grows even without consciousness of it. Cooperation amongst various volunteer organizations occurs with a common direction.

Ever wonder why folks with little money would not want to participate in a centrally planned economy?

So, where did you come up with that?

THIS IS SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING UUUUUUGUGGGGGHGHHHH I COULD TAKE AN AXE TO A TREE AND HACK IT TO SHREDS OUT OF ANGER!!


So many people out there, intelligent people, who actually care and have a genuine desire to learn and they FKING fall for all these ridiculous "truths" and then they just magically stop and don't fking doubt anything anymore. I bet we have at least 60% of all people in the world capable of understanding the principles of freedom and a free market and yet their brains have been washed with FKING HOGHWASH and it's game over and all we get is maybe 5% that have the right idea.

WHY WHY WHY does the world have to be so UGH stupidly diverse in all the ridiculous beliefs and values parents teach their children, teachers teach their pupils, friends teach their friends, gurus teach theirs fans. FKING Why can't everyone just realize there's only one empirical truth and start living by it. Why?!





I'm really starting to think that I'm just a big fking idiot for seeing all of this and trying to change things instead of just abusing the 95% of clueless idiot zombies that wander in this world.

And I fking like Michelle Rodriguez very much

I couldn't have said it better. No, really. Because I don't think for myself.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Michelle Rodriguez always struck me as petulant and artificial.

Anywho. Nothing else to add.

I think you couldn't be more wrong:

Ever wonder why folks with little money would not want to participate in a centrally planned economy?

Indeed I do. When a centrally planned economy involves rationing, it reinforces the sense of scarcity. This is why TZM aims to create access abundance by applying the scientific method to social concern and resource management.

So, where did you come up with that?

Developments in behavior psychology. Nobody really has values that are essentially individually personal. Even folks who place a high value on self-assessment only do so because those values reflect their cultural environment.

His cultural environment?

I do have access to a cultural environment that understands behavioral psychology and values self-assessments. Otherwise I may rather have continued to be stuck within a cultural environment where I would've dismissed anything M Rod would have to say based on various forms of chauvinism that are dominant themes within other cultural environments that I have access to.

Folks are beginning to understand that the only freedoms they have are the laws of nature. Any society that offers more freedoms than others only does so because of the architecture of that society. Free market utopianism hinders the emergence of a societal architecture that can truly provide the kind of freedom that people really need, like the freedom to have their basic survival needs met without having to somehow acquire the purchasing power to pay the price tag on those needs.

My thinking is going more in the direction of cooperating with others instead of competing with others. Instead of making other folks my enemies, I'm deciding more to make social problems my enemies.

And I fking like Michelle Rodriguez very much

As I alluded to previously, various cultural environments that I've accessed for a long time have shaped certain values that would've dismissed M Rod. However, I have more recently been spending more time accessing cultural environments where self-assessing this kind of behavior is encouraged, thus I am more inclined nowadays to adhere to this quote:

In order to defeat evil, you can do so by loving your neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself.
-President George Walker Bush, June 24, 2002

 

[silverhandorder]

I don't think you are using the same definition of scarcity as the rest of us do.

 

[Jim Casey]

I don't think you are using the same definition of scarcity as the rest of us do.

Free market utopians often consider human needs and wants to be unlimited. Needs are logistically finite based upon natural law and wants are based upon values shaped by the cultural environment. Folks who've never conceived of owning a 50 room mansion don't want one.

Just some little shit who thinks only he and his parents, friends, teachers, gurus the fk do I know who exactly, know the "real" truth.

Sooooooo frustrating.

The free market is the scientific method in capitalism. However, government intervention has corrupted it by subsidizing inefficiency in the name of "what's good for us" rather than letting the consumer individually decide what's best for them.

Didn't you read my post? Why reply if he already knows the "truth"? You think he'll listen to you? LOL He got his "truth" and now his content with it and just wont question it unless he himself discovers some new significant "truth".

Soooo frustrating.
