Hello, my name is Peter Joseph and welcome to

'Introduction to a Resource-Based Economy'.

歡迎觀看"資源導向型經濟"簡介

The goal of the following brief presentation is to outline

the basic train of thought that arrives at this new economic model

這種新經濟模式的基本想法流程

which is based not on the movement of money

"資源導向型經濟" 與金錢流通無關

but rather the intelligent management of the Earth's resources

而是基於對地球資源的智慧管理

drawing inference from the physical world

as to the most efficient, strategic and sustainable method

加以最有效率 有策略 永續的利用

for meeting the needs of the human population.

In the world today, societal decisions are essentially

the responsibility of individuals or groups

within the arena of politics or business;

in fact, one could note that politics and business

事實上  人們可以注意到政治或商業

are the governing group entities of the social order as we know it.

在我們所熟知的社會秩序裡  屬於統治性的根本存在

whenever anything goes wrong on the societal level

the tendency is for one group or a sub-group

The left will blame the right, the Conservatives will blame the Liberals

左派指責右派  保守派指責自由派

a new administration will blame an old administration, etc.

但是  對社會運作基礎的批評卻少有耳聞

of the foundation of the social operation itself;

it appears to simply be presupposed by most.

In other words, the culture seems to unconditionally accept

換句話說  當下的文明似乎無條件地接受

the socioeconomic paradigm without question

and politics and business are assumed to be

Even in a world of growing unemployment, growing poverty

growing mental health disorders, drug abuse, raw resource depletion

越來越多的精神健康疾病 藥物濫用 原料耗竭

overall environmental degradation, violence and war propensities

accelerated inflation, atmospheric destabilization

加速的通貨膨脹 不穩定的社會氛圍

and many other social and ecological problems

there still exists a general refusal to consider that

maybe the socioeconomic system itself could be at fault.

因為或許社會經濟體系本身就是難以維繫的

What if the very game we play is really the problem?

真正的問題是否為遊戲規則本身?

What if the very nature of the dominant institutions

and methods of our time are actually creating

and reinforcing certain behavioral tendencies

which are (to put it simply) unsustainable and destructive

而這些傾向都是不永續的 毀滅性的

we've seen a natural erosion of various forms of superstition

我們曾見識過種種迷信腐蝕心智

and provably non-progressive social practices.

以及各種被證明是毫無進步的社會實踐

We are slowly inching into a true age of reason

我們正緩慢地進入真正的理性時代

which recognizes that there are indeed proven governing natural laws

理性認識到確實有統領一切的自然法則

and that this method of thought, which we can term scientific

同時  這種可稱之為"科學"的思維方式

allows us to extrapolate viable approaches to our conduct

使我們能針對各種舉措  推論出可行的途徑

which almost virtually guarantee a tangible return

當然  如果能進行恰當評估的話

is what has produced the vast technology we see around us

事實上造就了我們生活週遭的大量科技

to even our understanding of the universe itself.

Simply put, science is an approach to our comprehension of the world

簡單來說  科學正是理解世界和我們自身的一種途徑

to the closest approximation of reality as we could possibly have.

在現有條件下最大限度接近現實

And of course while we all see the obvious fruits

of this method of thought and its vast applications

which stands virtually untouched by the scientific methodology:

In this context we appear to be stuck in time

由於這個原因  我們彷彿陷入時間的輪迴

using antiquated traditionalized practices

we give dictatorial powers to politicians and political parties

我們賦予政客和政黨專制的權利

under the guise of something we label 'Democracy'

- politicians who on average clearly have no education or training

政客們通常在社會組織的專業事務方面

in the technical affairs of social organization.

In a world where one child unnecessarily dies every five seconds

在當今世界  每5秒鐘就有一個孩子因為貧窮和剝削

many look to government institutions for resolution

not really considering the scientific reality

that feeding and caring for the people of the world

resolvable by simple resource management and allocation

and the intelligent and strategic application of technology.

以及智慧的 有策略的科技應用解決

Likewise, we have these things we call corporations or businesses

此外  我們還有稱之為企業和財閥的玩意

which are able to arbitrarily claim property

of the finite natural resources of this planet -

They utilize those resources for the betterment of an isolated group

企業和財閥為了少數群體的利益  利用了那些資源

through a self-interest-based system we call free-market exchange.

通過一個叫做"自由市場貿易"的利己系統

the message of this system is quite clear:

either you submit to this game of differential advantage and self-interest

要麼你接受這個充滿差別優勢和自私的遊戲

or you simply do not deserve the right to live.

You must earn your right to life on this planet, if you will

你必須爭取在這個星球生存的權利  你可以這麼說

which, to a thinking mind, is clearly a pseudo-totalitarian construct

對於有思考能力的人而言  世界明顯是虛偽的集權主義架構

to perpetuate one group or class over another.

使得一群人 或一個階級凌駕於其他人之上

Yet again, this inhumanity goes unnoticed

然而  這種不人道被一次次地忽視

We are born into this system and we are groomed to think

我們生長於這個系統  並被灌輸認為

it is a natural fact, an empirical way of life...

這就是合理的現實  這是一種經驗主義的人生
