Okay, this is one question I've been asking
myself lately, and I'd like to ask you.

And I'm not just addressing this to the Occupy Movements all over the world, but everybody

all over the world. At what point in the future
will we, our society, our world, get rid of

money? Yeah, the whole monetary system. We
won't need it anymore.

Now, is somebody saying... Never? Huh uh.
We know we'll get rid of money at some point

because the Captain has told us about future
economics.

The economics of the future are somewhat different.
Yeah. And not just somewhat different? A lot

different, because...
You see, money doesn't exist.

Ah ha! Money doesn't exist in the future.
See, there's your proof right there. Alright,

I understand some of you might be saying,
"Future? What future?" I know. If we stick

with this system that keeps us fighting each
other, gives us these endless wars, then we're

headed down apocalypse road. And that's a
possibility. But let's remain hopeful for

the moment and imagine that we can create
a different kind of system which doesn't require

the fighting. Because we've realized that
it really is a global village and we have

to work together to take care of it. And that
being driven by selfish motives -- the acquisition

of money and power -- is not the way to go
about it.

The acquisition of wealth is no longer the
driving force in our lives. We work to better

ourselves and the rest of humanity.
Gee, what a concept, huh? Now, back to the

question. When? And I'll give you three choices.
A hundred years? In geological time, it's

not that long. But from our perspective, it's
an eternity. Think about how our world changed

in that last century. We were just beginning
to make cars -- and no airplanes -- to where

we are now?
Or do you think it could happen in fifty years?

Now think about this exponential growth of
our scientific knowledge and technology. We

can't imagine what it'll look like in fifty
years. Okay, maybe ten years?

Now, before you answer, don't just toss out
an opinion based on the way you feel about

it at the moment. If we want to make an educated
guess, there are a few things we should consider...

and I'll just mention three or four, and then
I'll move along as quickly as I can here.

Number One... Think about why we have money
in the first place. Why did we invent it?

Well, because we needed something to represent
the value of stuff. And that value was based

on how much time and effort -- labor -- went
into making this stuff, along with how much

of it was available, and how badly people
wanted it. Supply and demand. Now think about

how hard it was in the past to produce food.
You had to get out the horse and hook up the

plow, and build irrigation systems, then harvest
it by hand and get it to the market. A lot

of work there, and you should be compensated
for that. Now think about, in years to come,

when we've created automated systems that
could do all this with practically no labor...

that could produce as much food as everyone
needs. In that case, do we need to put a monetary

value on it? There's no need to sell it, exchange
it for money. Right?

Okay, another example. Think about building
a house, getting the materials, and the people,

builders, to do the work. What if, in the
future, we've made systems that can produce

these prefabricated components and assemble
homes, where no one would have to be homeless.

No price tag needed. And with energy, using
clean renewable systems, which we can do now

on a local scale... we wouldn't need the drilling
and blasting, the fracking... which is good

for jobs in our current system, right? Good
for business. Not so good for people or the

environment in many cases. But a system that
continually produces energy -- for free -- without

human labor, that would be good for people,
good for the environment. But bad for business.

Do you see how backwards our current system
will seem to people in the future?

Anyway, if we're thinking about creating a
world without money, that means a world where

everyone would have access to everything they
need, and most everything they want. This

is what we're talking about. So we should
re-phrase the question. At what point in the

future do you think our technology will make
these automated systems possible and allow

us to move out of a monetary system? Alright,
that explains the labor part.  But you might

be saying, "What about the supply and demand?
Will there be enough resources... if EVERYBODY

wants EVERYTHING?" Well, remember, we wouldn't
be in this current system anymore that

requires constant consumption, and instills
those values. The goal in this future system

is to use our resources conservatively, make as much as we NEED, not as much as we possibly can.

I was talking to someone who said, "In a system

like this, everyone would want their own jet-ski".
But do you really want your own jet-ski, where

you have to store it at home, have a trailer
and a vehicle to pull it, then use it for

a few hours, and haul it back home and store
it again, and do maintenance? No, it would

be better to have ACCESS to a jet-ski when
you want to use it, and leave it there when

you're done. And there could be enough for
everyone... unless you want your own JET to

ski behind. In which case, that's asking a
little too much, don't you think?

These days, more and more, I've been hearing
people talk about this type of system. An

access-economy, or access-abundance. Because
it makes so much more sense. Instead of making

100,000 jet-skis, we could make 20,000, or
30. And with this example, how else could

we be saving resources? Think about accessories,
like all the trailers. We could use all these

materials for solar collectors or housing
components. Something relevant. And this access-economy

concept would apply to almost everything.
Maybe you'd like to learn how to play the

guitar. Well, now you have to shop around
and try to find a good deal. And you buy one,

play it for a few weeks or months. Lose interest.
How many guitars or other instruments are

sitting in closets or garages right now? So,
instead,  you'd go to the Music Center, or whatever

we'd call it, and check one out. Like a library,
basically. You lose interest, you return it,

somebody else checks it out.
Do you see how we could use so much less of

our resources if everyone had access to the
things they want? If the goal was not to make

and sell as many as possible, like this outdated
"growth economy" requires, but make as many

as we need, as people want. I know it's hard
to get a handle on that concept. Counter-intuitive.

It's like the opposite of what our traditional
thinking would have us believe. And this is

number three to consider, the traditional
values that are drilled into us by our culture.

And it's something that could work against
us, that hinders our growth, makes it harder

to transition into an updated system. Because
people tend to hold onto what's familiar.

We're fearful of something different or unknown.
And the small group of people who are in power...

they don't want to see any change in these
values. No, these established institutions

are working great for that one-percent...
who control the mainstream media, where you'll

hear them saying, "Don't listen to people
who are proposing any kind of change or rational

alternatives. They just want to control you,
even more than we're controlling you!

And don't trust common sense and logic, or you'll be screwed, even worse than we're screwing you

right now with this system, keeping you in
debt slavery, in lifelong servitude to us."

Yeah, it's kinda sad that we're limited in
many ways by our traditional thinking. Some

of us can't imagine not having this monetary
system. And they think people will always

be fighting each other for domination, that
it's our nature, when it's not. It's the system

we're trapped in which requires that kind
of behavior, see? It's not our nature. Human

beings would rather cooperate and help each
other. And this has been proven by people

who study the human brain, can actually look
into it and see how it functions. When we

finally grow up and get out of this system,
we won't be fighting each other anymore,

trying to crush the competition and accumulate more possessions and power...

People are no longer obsessed with the accumulation
of things. We've eliminated hunger, want,

the need for possessions.  We've grown out of our infancy.
Here's something to think about. Not long

ago, in the 1950's, there were millions of
people who were saying, "We'll never walk

on the moon." And in the next decade, there
we were. Hey, do you want to know why so many

people were saying that? It's because the
idea of a man walking on the moon was so far
