Debt

Debt

Debt is one of our greatest sources of suffering on Earth, it causes global poverty, and individual poverty.  Historically, debt was responsible for the creation of indentured servants.  Isn't it strange that something which is not real (except by agreement of the Mind) could cause such suffering?

I, a living Soul, say debt is not real because I cannot borrow against nature.  I cannot borrow the warmth of  tomorrows sun to stay warm tonight,  I can not borrow against a future crop to feed my family today; debt is not real, it is a fictional system of law

To kick this topic off, let us start by laying some common ground - please watch this video to begin understanding what money is, why it is ALL debt, the un-reality of it all.  Did you know that without debt, we would have no money? This video explains, then we can go a bit deeper.

The problem derives from an Industrial Age economic model where money is created out of nothing, and then requires living people and the Earth pay the bill in substance - personal labor and natures resources.

When peoples labor pays the bill a debt crisis is eventually created with poverty the inevitable result; when nature pays the bill the environment is damaged. Only a few hundred years old, this economic model based on competiton and conflict has left our children a legacy of debt and a withering planetary environment.

"What an astounding thing it is to watch a civilization destroy its self because it is unable to re-examine the validity, under totally new circumstances, of an economic ideology." ~ Sir James Goldsmith

Solution?

Information Age tools could relieve pressure on people and the environment. Achieving this goal will require a common global community where even the poor can access digital wealth  using a peer to peer Information Age economic system in which "value" is based more on human elements of creativity (music, words, art) than natural resources. A sytem where one can shoot an animal video instead of an animal, and provide more wealth for their family and community earned by digital sales to a global audience.

Prosperity Program in conjunction with Peace Website Humanitarian Trust, Access Point, and the FDU Game are dedicated to meeting this bold goal.
