Desteni Farm and the Equal Labour System


Here on the desteni farm we all work together to get something done in order to improve the farm. In work at home I am only working in existing or myself because the job that I do is only for me, my money and my survival. Here it is not about survival it is about what is best for all, we have to labour for the best for the gardens, plants, animals, structures, humans, all life here that we deal with.

There is no profit motive for us to work. There is an understanding that if we don’t work then the farm here will be infested with weeds, the horses would not have enough food, the animals would be angry at us for not taking care of them, the plants would die out, not being able to provide food, the structures would start to crumble, it must be upkept. In this understanding we work together to maintain the place in which we all live and create it as a place that we all enjoy living within. We put in a collective effort to maintain and develop the farm. The girls work with the garden and plants, where the boys will work with the heavy labour, in this the boys build a garden and the girls will plant all the plants, both working collectively and both share in the rewards of the food grown or shelter built etcetera.

In comparison to my job where I work to survive within the matrix of the world, it can be argued that we all work collectively to get the job done but this is not in fact so. We don’t collectively agree to take a certain job because of a `fair` distribution of jobs, but we take them because they provide us the most money. In that we are actually fighting eachother, not working in agreement to work for the collective of the workforce. As well the job is based on a percentage rate, and the higher percentage you get above a base percentage the more money you get, so we all decide to fuck each other over because we are working in order to survive, not working in collective to get the job done, but always in competition with each other, which leads to extreme stress at times. For example at an office job and there is a promotion coming up and you and another have the opportunity to get the promotion, we stress ourselves out in order to get the promotion to receive more money, so that we can `live` a `better` life. Taking that into consideration, here we are working together so that we all live a better life, where in my job we all compete so that only a few can live a better life, which is not in consideration of what is best for all

The amount of work that we get done is phenomenal. Here we can see the results at the end of the day. We see the garden that has been rotovated, and we see the amount of work that has been put in, and with only 8 guys we have gotten more done with physical results than I have ever participated in. We all have specific jobs, same as the capitalistic system, that we work on and in the end bring it all together so that a project is finished for the whole of the farm. In the capitalistic system we all have specific jobs that we all participate in and in the end we do not benefit the whole but in fact destroy the whole through separation within/as our own greed of money and the necessity to survive in competition with others…simply look at the world and how it’s path is heading and you can see that we are in fact destroying the whole instead of working in agreement within equality and oneness that in fact support the whole to live within the best possible living standards/conditions that is possible in any given moment.

This is equal to how the Equal Money Labour system will work within the Equal Money System, Not working for Profit but for the consideration of the whole, because our living need will be met, thus we need no more than what we have, and when I say need, it is NOT bare minimum needs but a car, a computer, an internet connection, all that one in fact needs in this world. The only thing that is left is to work in agreement to maintain and expand ourselves within/as this world to make all life here expand equal and one with us as we expand when working together, for example in places where there is no infrastructure the motivation is not money but the need for infrastructure, thus the more people work on and agree that infrastructure is needed, the faster it will be developed. It is all based on the needs for people and self. In this all life here works together to make this world the best place in equality and oneness, not in separation from ourselves as our neighbours in how we are existing now. The Equal Labour system will in fact be enjoyable and one is allowed to work at one’s own pace without stress of having to survive within working, the job that needs to get done will get done through the collective participation in all that do in fact participate in it. For example my back has been an issue from working my job. When I got here, started working and felt back pain, they told me not to push myself because then I would compromise myself for the rest of the week/month. In my job I am still required to hit standards whether or not it compromises myself or not I am still expected to hit my standards and this is where the stress can come in as well, and we are all susceptible to this. Where in the Equal Labour System there is no need for profit on the whole so those who `employ` will have the best interest of the `employees` always in consideration without waver. This is why we must implement the Equal Money System, so that we are able to work together, but we also must stop the competition within ourselves, here we are working within a capitalistic system but we are not in competition with each other, we are working for the whole, not individual selves.

2012 Becoming Consumers

I just finished watching the documentary "Consuming Kids: The commercialization of childhood" which outlays how companies are specifically targeting kids to become consumers of specific products when they become older. It shows how children television shows support certain products throughout the show in order to get the kid to symbolize happiness/success or some other positive emotion with the product compelling them to find ways to manipulate their parents into buying the product for them.

What I want to cover in this blog is this point without judgment or morality. Looking at this point without judgment of the companies or advertising agencies, they have done extremely well in using the accepted and allowed systematics in this system in order to maintain their survival. They have done extensive research on children and what they react to, as far as watching them take a bath to see how they use and manipulate the products they use whilst taking a bath, in order to find out everything that they can mentally and physically to sell their product to them effectively. What is unfortunate here is that this is what this system wants and supports = survival of the fittest. The companies have gone this far because they must compete with other companies so they must find out absolutely everything about their demographic in order to manipulate them into becoming a consumer of said product from cradle to grave. So the only thing here is that they have done very well at managing their survival within capitalism through manipulating and deceiving the masses, they are brilliant in this aspect.

We start off as children and become impulsed continuously, daily, with messages and symbols from media outlets that promote happiness, fun, enjoyment, success, or any other positively energized emotion in connect to that product. We then look for these products to fulfill our lives with and constantly search for in order to make ourselves feel happy, separating ourselves from ourselves as creators of ourselves. We then become emotionally possessed the majority of the time and we start to lose ourselves as who we are as life. This is what the system supports, this is what capitalism/consumerism supports. Is it the best interest of all life? Clearly no. We need a new system to live under, because unfortunately we as ourselves need to be guided at the moment, if we remove all systems at this point, life we become much more hectic, dangerous, `evil`, violent than ever. We need a system that supports all Life equally, one that gives all life on this planet an equal opportunity for life.

In an Equal Money System profit is removed, because CAPITAL is no longer the objective of the system. More money is irrelevant in an Equal Money System, so what we are left with is what can I/we produce that makes our lives easier and more effective. One can argue that contemplating a product that will make our lives easier is a symptom of capitalism, but what happens is that life is disregarded in this aspect, and only money is the focus point when considering a development. In an EMS what we will produce will be best for life because there will be no opportunity for deception or manipulation into getting the `upper hand` because all will be given to Equally. The necessities of life will be provided to everyone equally, and all will have the same opportunity as their neighbours. This is take a lot of work of course.
Companies won't have to fight for survival as well, they will not need to develop new ways of manipulating or deceiving the population into buying a specific product because the people that make up the company will be supported with or without said company, so they in turn are able to make the choice in which is best for life. The companies that have targeted kids to become consumers have only done so within the allowances of the accepted system. They have used the rules within the system to their advantage, so it is us who are equally responsible for allowing the system in place and it is us who must stop blaming and judging people who use the system because we use the same system, thus we must create a new system out of our own will, one that supports what is best for all life on this planet in every way. One that allows no opportunity or need to deceive, manipulate, and/or abuse.

2012 Habitat Displacement and Equal Money System

There has been a scare for pet owners in this city now due to coyotes running around the city looking for food. In the paper there is an Article about a woman who was walking her dog on a leash, when a coyote came up to her and her dog and snatched the dog away from her so that the coyote could eat and feed its family.

This is due to the displacement of the coyotes. The area that the coyotes are running around in is a fairly new built area, so the environment and habitats had to be disrupted in order to build the homes, causing the animals that were here before to develop new ways of surviving

How this boils down to money is that, in the capitalistic system in order to generate a continuous growth, we must continuously be generating more product and in the housing market we thus need more houses and more land to expand on. Thus in capitalism there must be a never ending supply of development land in order for the real estate market to continue/survive. So through the expansion of housing we must take away land from animals that are on this planet with us, displacing the, causing them to find new ways of surviving, which leads to examples like the coyotes attacking pets in order to feed themselves. So money in the housing market = a need for development land = displacement and disruption of the ecosystem.

In an Equal Money system, the point of continuing generating money does not exist, thus the relative `expansion` due to capitalism will not exist wither, because we will not need to generate endless profit for our survival. Without the need for continuous input/profit we will be able to find and develop new ways of housing ourselves that do not disrupt habitats or disrupt habitats the least possible way, because money will not be the predominant factor in our direction. If we do need to disrupt nature/habitats/environment we would be able to give ourselves the time to consider the best way to do so, meaning cause as little harm as possible from our integration into/as the area, whereas now, we attempt to develop land as quickly as possible so that we can make money as fast as possible to further generate more and more and more profit. This brings me to the point of housing structure as well. The way houses are built now are a `cookie cutter` process, where everything is planned to go up as quick as possible for as cheap as possible so that the maximum amount of profit is achieved in the shortest amount of time...ok back to the point

In an Equal Money System we will have the time and opportunity to consider the displacement of animals when it to building. We will have the ability to consider what we are in fact having influence and consequence on. We won't take on the position of this is our world and we can do what ever we please with it, ignoring all consequences along the way. We won't build endlessly causing a mass amount of destruction and harm to the environment for the game of profit. The end goal will not be more money, but the consequences of our actions, meaning that the object of our actions is the consequence of our actions being what is best for all.
                     This is why support of the Equal Money System is imperative to continue living on this planet, because if we continue the way we are we will only kill the life of this planet.

2012 Sweet Sweet Sugary Death.

While watching a speech given entitled “Sugar: The bitter Truth” it was fascinating to see how exactly the body breaks down our foods into chemicals that the cells take in to provide nutrients to itself, and how fructose is one of the worst things the chemically break down for our body. It is equal to consuming alcohol.  In the speech he says “you wouldn’t think twice about giving your child a Budweiser but we don’t even question given them a soda”.

It is astounding to hear how much sugar we ingest in a year and how much it has increased over the years since the end of world war 2. The reason why we have started to ingest so much sugar is because of the cheapness of that sugar and the ability to use sugar to make more money off of people. For example soft drink companies put caffeine and salt into their drinks which makes us dehydrated. The reason why the drinks do not taste bitter is because of sugar, thus the sugar coats our taste buds allowing us to only taste what is sweet while we are in fact dehydrating ourselves causing us to want to drink more which then leads us to drink more soft drinks if that is what we have become accustomed to drinking.  In this example the soft drink companies know what they are doing and because of the accepted capitalistic system this is not stopped even though it is a crime towards life because it leads to diabetes, mood swings, depression, addiction, heart attacks, strokes etc, when they can easily be prevented through not allowing an abundance of sugar to permeate through our food sources.

Why this is accepted and allowed the way it is is because of the capitalistic system, where in this system anything that is able to make money is allowed to be produced. Such as the `drug war` where governments are purposely allowing drugs to move through countries and be used in order to maintain a revenue for themselves and as well create the DEA so that they can control the flow of drugs and control the flow of money and have a agency that they can monitor easily so that they actually to do not solve the problem but allow it to continue all in order to make money. This goes the same for sugar and its effects on our bodies, where it is well known how much damage sugar does to our bodies but it is not regulated nor banned because companies make too much money off of it and they also have the FDA in their pocket to allow the abuse to continue unhindered all in order to generate capital.

The only time that this abuse of sugar will stop is when money is given equally so that all may have an equal say on what they want to eat. Because the families at the bottom of the pyramidic system do not have enough funds to support themselves eating healthy, they eat what they can get and what they can get is full of sugar which only causes more problems, so it is not a possibility for poor families to stop eating sugary products and eat healthy because the healthy food costs a fuck load more than the sugary foods. So as you can see, once money is distributed equally and we change the rules of the system in support of all life equally and in support of what is best for life only then will we see a change in the way we eat and a change in the products we consume. As for now I would suggest growing your own food…as much of it as you can so that we start creating distance from companies that infest their products with sugar and sugar related substances until we have an Equal Money system in place so that we can all have an equal say on what we want to eat, stopping the influence from a lack of money to dictate what and how we eat.

This system does not support Third World Nations becoming First World Nations

Living in a First world nation, I have heard many times that we need o support Third world nations into becoming first world nations..we must give the enough money, create enough funds, so that they too can have the infrastructure, the education, the luxury that exists in first world nations. Looking at that point ,it is absolutely impossible for third world nations to become first world nations in the current capitalistic, consumerist system that we live in because at the rate First world nations are using resources there won't be enough resources t share throughout the world for all nations on this Earth to become first world nations, thus for first world nations to have what we have, there must exist poverty to support us having what we have, there must be the opposite as it is clear that we are hording resources.

If we stopped the consumer culture that we live in, if we stopped wasting all of these items/products and started to, not conserve, but create and use things that are designed to last a life time we would be able to share the resources that we use, and allow third world nations to as well become `first world nations`

Obviously that would take a reworking of the current system we have, as the `growth` and stability of the system we have requires a constant transaction of money and having products/items that last a lifetime would be death for the current system = that is why things break down so easily and that is why planned obsolescence is considered beneficial to this system. So to have products that last a lifetime we must have a system that's life blood is not based on profit, we must have a self-sustaining system that is able to maintain itself without an influx of value, currency, worth, material etc. That is where the Equal Money system comes in. the life blood of the equal money system is not profit, it does not require a constant input of energy to support itself, all it requires to exist is the humans capacity to maintain its existence through accepting it as a way of living.

Thus in order for this world to live like a first world nation, we need products/items that last lifetimes, and in order to create items/products that last lifetimes we need a system that does not require a constant input of energy = we need a new system = we need an Equal Money System. If you do care about this world, the beings that live here, support and be an living example for the Equal money system. http://equalmoney.org

No More Bureaucracy in an EMS


No more bureaucracy in an EMS

Bureaucracies have become points in which a few implement laws and rules for the many. They are a select few people that are appointed with such power to implement and decide upon such rules, regulations, and laws. This is obviously the epitome of inequality. A few becoming the deciding factors for many, meaning that a few hold power over how many delegate their lives within/as rules, regulations, and laws. This will not exist in an Equal money system as the point within/as the equal money system is equality, thus there will be only one decision to be made and that is consistently and constantly what is best for all, thus creating in every moment what is best for all, and thus we live in a world that is best for all. Obviously as one is able to tell bureaucracies are only in the interests of a few, not in the interests of all as what is best for life to expand and flourish, thus bureaucracies will not longer exist in an Equal Money system due to the fact that it is not living equality.

Santa's Elves


Santa’s Elves

During the Christmas season many of us want and want and want, and we do not consider what this want comprises of, of what happens because of our wants. We want cheap prices and we want specific items to support our self-interests, and we do not and have not considered why or how we can get the things we want at the prices we want. In order for companies to comply with the customer’s wants of cheap prices they must cut corners in certain areas of production so that they meet the wants of the customers, this area that is compromised is usually worker’s wages. They are paid minimal amounts of currency so that they are reliant on the job for the income to provide necessities for life, they then work overtime so that they can make that little bit more money so that they can give themselves some dignity in purchasing things that they need for themselves as well.

The working conditions of the workers are horrendous to European or North American standards. Some workers work 14 hour days 7 days a week, and when demand is up sometimes they work throughout the night a full 24 hour work shift. This is all due to our consumption and our system of/as capitalism. All the companies involved within/as the process of manufacturing goods want to make a profit at some point, and there are many things to consider = transportation costs, what the customer is willing to pay, how much profit the company intends to make, stock market prices, investors, production costs, and all of this needs to be minimal as possible in order to make the most profit such is the game that is capitalism = tying to make the most capital, and in all of this there are middle man companies such as shipping services or transportation services that are attempting to make profit as well so that they can survive within/as the game of/as capitalism. It is a fucked up revolution of money and a fucked up game with everyone attempting to win, which is impossible. Thus in order to make as much money as possible the working conditions and wages paid are minimal, with most workers living within factory owned and provided housing, so it becomes and is a prison for most of the workers as they cannot afford to live elsewhere, which is systematically set up by the companies to keep the people under their control, which money becomes the medium for/as control. This is due to the accepted and allowed method of the transference, rules, and laws that have become the money system that is capitalism, thus WE are ALL responsible for the conditions that people live in due to thee accepted `nature` of/as the money system and of as ourselves. When we want things and money is involved the companies try and support those wants and make as much profit as possible when exploiting those wants making as much money as possible means to not put out the best product, to not put in the least amount of money possible to come out with a product that people are satisfied with, and again the wages and living conditions of the workers are also compromised.

We do not see all that there is when Christmas is around, we do not see the millions of workers having to work in horrid conditions and getting paid just enough to provide themselves with a meal so that they cannot save enough money to move out of the conditions that they live in, we see only our wants, we have been blinded by the flashing lights and `neat` colours instead of looking at what is in fact taking place as capitalism/consumption. This is how we have accepted the world to be and how we have accepted ourselves to be.

This world of capitalism/consumerism cannot last for much longer as it is unsustainable into infinity, we are going to outwork ourselves deplete resources, cause environmental disasters etc. All of this is due to our financial system and the way we accept it to exist. Therefore there must be an existential change to the economic system, one that does not support slavery to money, one that does not support endless consumption of products for `endless` money.

Will Programming be the same in an EMS?


The point of programming in this world is quite complex. From my perspective it is as complex as the education it takes to become a doctor as there is an abundance of money within the digital/technological sector of this reality. Within this world where the is an abundance of money there is seclusion as some do not want that abundance to be readily available for anyone that wants it…there is always trails and tests to weed out most. Taking this point into consideration the complexity of programming is due to money, programming becoming complex due to an abundance of money and the want to not share that abundance with everyone, thus programming has been made complex. Since there is an obvious limitation through money in relation to programming when there is not a want for profit or a need for profit or a systemic limitation within money, then things are able to be approached differently.

In an EMS we would be able to explore an easier way to develop technological advances through no longer having a limitation of/as money or profit, it will be looked at through the perspective of what can we create that is best for all, what can we create that will be able to assist and support everyone equally here on Earth, thus the point of making programming complex becomes irrelevant as that is not able to support all on this Earth equally. To develop a system that is easier to understand would be best for all...the one point that is coming up is the fact that this is how we have developed programming and the way programming works is intricate and complex so how do we get around that? We have created computers with the language that exists within/as computes right now, thus we are not subject to the system that is already here as we in fact created it, we made the programming and the device for programming complex thus to make it simple for everyone to understand and to create with it we must re-engineer the computer as well so that it becomes much more user friendly even for the seemingly `complex` tasks that now exist as developing a program.

Once competition disappears through as profit, then what is left is to develop a system that is best for all that works unconditionally in supporting and assisting everyone that uses it. There won’t be any need to constantly develop new and `better` programs or systems as the best will be constantly approached and developed. Take Apple computers for example, each half year they come out with a `new` `better` model of their previous technological system only to make more money, what happens in this is that they purposely leave out a few things that they could have simply added to the first model only to place those on a `newer` `better` model to increase profit and sales. When profit doesn’t exist obviously the best would be supported firstly, no longer placing a product that lacks out in the beginning only to make more money off of the first adapters. Thus the technological wheel does not need to be `re-invented` time after time after time as the best will be supported first off, because without profit it is simply a fucking waste.
