But the good news is these mindless fucks will see the collapse of everything they are about, in their lifetime. The earth will heal once all unsustainable practises are exhausted and hopefully society will transition into a new age. Then the emotional healing of our race can begin.

If someone wants to start first throwing their money away, they can send it to me I'll make sure it ends up at the bank

Its a very lofty goal but... The survivors of the worldwide holocaust will build a new system from the ruins. I don't see such a fundamental change happening in a relatively intact society.

And those beautiful spherical cities.. I doubt they will end up housing 7 billion of us. We have to go through the bottleneck, either we control the population or mother nature does it the hard way.

Technology today is at the point where we can produce an abundance of necessary resources.

How so?  Maybe for the rich few in first world countries.  Greed will always limit fair distribution anyway. Technology will not save us imo but will actually help with the demise in the end. Take a good look at the whole world conditions now, not just your privileged back yard.  War, hate, greed, etc. on epic scales.  Where's all this enlightenment that's going to change the tide of things? Go to Iraq and live there for a year and report back on human emotional evolution.

Seriously, I wish I believed all that and I did for awhile when young but I've seen the world deteriorate imo over my 58 years.  The shits really going to hit the wall one day and then you will see how people react emotionally in this country.

Go ahead and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.  History is a very good indication of what will happen imo. Human history is not long and we have not really changed.

We're getting old Icelander

The moment I saw the end scene I was like "awwww beautiful". Second thought is "the Zeitgeist movement is conditioning idialistic people to part with their money for a better world" I then thought of merchandizing and other more sinister get rich quick schemes that could be hiding behind the idealism of the Zeitgeist movement.

ya, we're getting old..

I have the same feelings. It would be pretty cool if everyone threw away there money.

You actually CAN throw your money away TODAY and not be a self-defeating bell end doing it.
In fact, I HAVE DONE JUST THAT.

Over the past years I have put the majority of my surplus savings into gold and particularly silver.

Gold and Silver are outside the Rotschild International Banking Cartel dollar/euro/yen money game. Gold and silver are not debt, they are ownership, they are freedom of inflation. They ARE dwindling finite resources in increasing demand (particularly silver)

Instead of bills of money, I have ounces of silver and gold, independent of all the scheming, the fraud the injustices connected to money.

And guess what: If I were to exchange my metals for paper today, I would have almost three times as much paper as I put in.

But why? Especially as I'm convinced the $40 silver we see now will soon be $80 silver, $100, or more.

Silver may become "the new gold" fetching prices in then hundreds of dollars. Add inflation, thousands, millions, wheelbarrows of worthless fiat paper.



With paper growing increasingly worthless why hold paper? When I cash in I want stuff thats worth something.

Go out and spend less than $20 on a 50lbs bag of rice. Keeps for 3 years. Keeps you alive, if you really have to do it, for a month if you go broke. Get some canned meat, fish. Spaghetti. Dried beans.

If you think the Zeitgeist scenario is realistic then there's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride in just the few years from now.

Tell your wife about peak oil and the upcoming economic crisis, then when she agrees to Prepare, roll a few kegs of beer into your basement

If every week you eat "from the reserves" for a day, not only will you save considerable money, but you can keep fresh a rather large stockpile of food.

We live in a la la land of false promises and unfounded economic optimism. It can all go to hell REAL FAST.
