We live in a world where people value money more than mostly everything you can imagine. There are amazing people, with amazing ideas and projects with great potential, that are never discovered or given credit because of the money based world. Can money though 'value' people's skills, or people in general? Audiobook based on this TROM ebook - https://www.tromsite.com/2015/04/valuable-without-a-value

When I was 12 or so, I started to realize something very weird about the world: it repeats itself year after year. I realized that each year is almost identical to the year before it, and will be basically identical to the year that follows it. But why is that? - based on this ebook https://www.tromsite.com/2015/04/consuming-a-year/

AA World : Automated - Autonomous World is a series of articles about the current state of Automated and Autonomous technology to try to demonstrate how a world of abundance for all is possible with today's technology. We will look at transportation, goods and services, construction, cities, and more.

We are ‘glued’ to a huge sphere by gravity, protected by a 62 mile (100 km) ‘blanket’ of particles that we call ‘our atmosphere’. We orbit one of the billions of stars in our galaxy, which is one galaxy among billions of others in, perhaps, just one of many universes out there.

In this special book we will look at how tools that humans invented surpass humans on many levels, how they are part of what humans are, and also why the distinction between human-made tools (the machines) and ourselves (biological creatures) is blurry. We will try to replace all body parts with mechanical ones, will look at nanobots, how we can extend our senses and how do we hear or see, what artificial intelligence is (machine learning, neural networks, etc.), what supercomputers can do today, why stem cells are so important, and basically we will look at nearly 'everything' related to humans and robots and their relationship.

We are starting our journey of understanding ‘language’ with a big, fluffy article on how writing styles emerged and how they work today. We will look at how languages around the world define both actions and ‘stuff’, how they build sentences, what verbs and nouns and other such ‘spicy’ things really are, and overall, how written language is widely different from how we talk. This massive article will be the bedrock for those to follow in this series, because understanding how today’s written languages work (from English to Chinese or Romanian), we will be able to consider better ways of improving communication. Mind you, language is what you use to describe yourself, and the world. So understanding “it” may very well allow you to better understand yourself and the world around you.

In this second part of our ongoing book on language we explore the messiness of language, the religiosity of it, the evolution, and overall what influences language to change or to stagnate. You might be surprised to learn that technology might make us more separate from one another when it comes to language, or that in fact there is no language out there...Hard to believe? Then give this article a try!

This time we will showcase why talking about language and trying to improve ‘it’, is not only a good idea, but a necessary one. Before I prove it to you let me just say that even if we were able to build a worldwide saner society where people have access to whatever they need and want without any trade involved, and this society is ‘educated’ and so forth, language would pose a ton of issues to everyone out there if it is left in the present state, and because of that people would die, scientific research would be massively slowed down, and overall many humans would live a miserable life. The danger lies in the fact that languages, whichever ones, are poorly constructed, but that’s not the main issue, the main issue is with the fact that there are so many languages out there.

The only reason we can communicate with each other is because we are the same biologically and we live in a similar world (from the physical world to the cultural one). In this part we argue that language is all about the context. Not the words, not the syntax, but the context. We look at how or if we can achieve communication with creatures who do not share some of our context: people who lack senses, people from widely different cultures, animals, and even aliens. We will also look at the idea of language influencing the way we think because that’s a very delicious proposal.

Here’s the thing: we all pretty much agree that the following are huge issues today: poverty, famine, crime, violence, wars, poor education, pollution, climate change, overpopulation, terrorism, social classes, corruption and bribery, water scarcity, environmental destruction, abuse of animals (including humans), slavery and coercion, greed, hoarding of resources, deforestation, massive waste, stagnation of scientific and technological development, lack of healthcare, immigration, territorial disputes, high stress, and so much more. Well, what if I told you that behind all of these, there is only one primary cause? One! Hard to believe? Well, that’s what we are going to show, and if that’s true, then tackling that single core problem will solve or greatly diminish all of those issues. It may sound too good to be true, but using cartoons, some diagrams, plenty of links to reliable sources, documentaries and videos, and simple language to allow all to understand, we will strive to make this very clear. With this book, we will try to present how the world that we experience today evolved (with its jobs, money, companies, products, property, government, laws, etc.) as well as how it currently operates (distribution, management of resources, values, etc.). We will look at how money was invented, the role it serves, and what we can truly do to evolve into a world devoid of today’s major problems.

37 Earth from TROM
There are approximately 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe In one of the galaxies there are 200 - 400 billion stars It is estimated that 70% of these stars have planets orbiting around them, an incomprehensible amount of planets ...and one of these planets Is ALIVE [ The complexity of this planet dwarfs any story, philosophy, movie, book or idea. ] (Richard Feynman) "I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes has taken a view which I don't agree with very well." He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... but I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds.

36 Imagine from TROM
{CLIP}
Whether you're a doctor, policeman, soldier, fighting for peace in the world, want to save people from starvation, or you are in an ECO organization, remember The Venus Project incorporates everyone and everything.
If you still think that it is an unrealistic system, then think about where you get your idea’s from. You extract your ideas from the culture in which you live. Examine it first. If you are still unable to find reason for such a project and you think it’s unachievable, then use this perspective when answering this question: What do you find so impossible? Especially now with present technology.
{CLIP - music}
Maybe you like the present holidays, maybe you already have a family, children, maybe you care about your parents and your family values are important to you, maybe you are in love and want to spend your whole life with that person, maybe you have your ideas and you don't want to give up on them... nothing stops you from being the same in the proposed system. The Venus Project is trying to use technology and scientific discoveries for the benefit of every human being, without artificial barriers. In the worst case your values will be changed to improve yourself, but that will be through your own decision.
Maybe you want to help this approach by informing people about it, but do not forget that this information should represent the tools you give to them. So try to provide information that can be used as a tool in their evolution towards this approach. It is not enough to simply present the Venus Project, it’s important to show how they could get involved to help install such a project. Try to make people want solutions, and then present the Venus project. Point to the current problems.
Remember that the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement are just groups required in the monetary system to spread information. It's something artificial, do not forget that. Being associated with them does not represent any dissociation with any other group of individuals.
If you associate the The Venus Project and The Zeitgeist Movement with any conspiracy theory, or something different from what they represent, then you should analyze where this association originated...
{CLIP - music}
Maybe you've been a teacher all your life, maybe you've made a purpose from art, maybe you're dancing and dance represents your life, maybe you have a family and that’s everything for you, maybe you're proud of your school diploma, maybe you are an athlete or actor, or you are happy with the job you have now ... it doesn't matter who you are. If you refuse to talk about these values which are important to you, it means that they have no basis in reality. Why are you afraid to talk about it ? Why feel indignant when other people bring those topics into discussion? These discussions can improve your life. You have no reason to stay away from those discussions that analyse the values which create you, if you have an explanation for them. It's not too late to ask yourself about your values. Try to analyze them and, if you realize that they are false, you can only be glad that your horizon has been expanded. If you reach the conclusion that the values you've built your life around are false, it's better to find out now rather than later. Why postpone it? It's like you smoked all your life and you're refusing to have medical tests just because you're afraid of the results. But remember, if you have lung cancer, analysis will only confirm the results, the cancer exists regardless. However, taking the tests will give you a chance to improve your life.
Do not build your life around a single idea. The probability for it to be false is extremely high because of the present system and, if it proves false you will not be able to understand. Be a generalist.
Try to be flexible in thinking. It's the most important decision you can take, but also the hardest one. Remember, if you hold on to your ideas you can be the most brilliant today, but not tomorrow. Information is expanding rapidly and you can not keep up unless you have flexible ideas.
{CLIP - music}
Be careful of every word you use. Language is old and interpretable. People will understand what you want to say from their point of view. Analyze their point of view. Examine what you mean. Try not to use words whose true significance you don't know.
Try not to give answers, but rather explanations. Instead of saying that Sept-11 attacks were a setup, you can present evidence that lead to such a conclusion.
Do not try to convey important messages through music and poetry. Or try, but remember that many have tried this, on a much larger scale, and failed.
Remember that movies are a form of entertainment, nothing more, and are created, most likely, by those who are best trained by the monetary system, and thus the values shown in movies are extracted from there.
Get rid of artificial values. Think of it this way, if you build your life around them you will have a synthetic life, and this is the most foolish thing you can do.
Remember that you are created by the environment, and if you're constantly learning from movies or silly shows, you will represent them. If you associate with stupid people, you become the same.
If you think you have nothing to say, or search for examples without success, then think of the universe or existence as we know so far. Do you agree now with your life, with your way of living in comparison to what constitutes a human being? If you really realize that your situation can be greatly improved, you will react, otherwise you will always ask the question "And what do I do now?".
If you're a scientist and you have not analyzed your own environment, then make me understand what is a scientist...
If you try to repair the current system, do not forget that it is the source of the problems. It's like you realize that the 10 commandments are insufficient or ineffective and try to add others or modify existing ones, instead of analyzing religion.
Try not to transpose your own values in everything you observe.
Birds do not sing, bears do not rise up to appear larger, and the planet Earth does not suffer because of us. Personifications, epithets and metaphors relate to emotional behavior and are not progressive. Try to see what actually happens.
Remember this picture when you make a decision. It's the most distant picture of planet Earth. That little blue dot is the planet we live on. All wars have happened here, there were hundreds of leaders, tyrants, racism, conflicts of ideas, criminals who have killed hundreds of people. On this blue dot millions of types of life emerged, there were so-called geniuses, grandparents, parents- Here you love, you have suffered, sometimes you feel that you choke to death from so many problems, or you feel fulfilled. Great leaders, strong men, philosophers, so-called secret groups that want to enslave the population. All here. Think about this little blue dot : who cares of all this, and who are we to have so many ideas and be so sure about them? Rethink your values from here to see if they have any importance.
{CLIP - music}
If you still associate science, technology and discoveries with a gray world without colour, then explain why you view things that way. The world is a complex one, with many alternatives and verifiable ideas, a world from which you can extract more meanings that will help you to progress and be comfortable.
We shouldn't be focused on goals or purpose, they can mislead you. You don't enjoy music because of the finale at the end, you enjoy the entire piece of music. Life should be viewed similarly, we should enjoy and celebrate life at all stages rather than fixating on goals and purpose.
Now imagine a world in which these artificial values would disappear. Nobody would have opinions, instead they seek answers. So many people that you identify with because you are able to discuss any idea and everyone recognises that we are all part of the same species.
Imagine hundreds of thousands of people working together to combat aging, with no technological limitations. Imagine millions of people who work for the progress of human beings and solve problems. People who invent, discover and improve.
Imagine you have access to goods and services without anything in return and to have time to do what you want. Traveling around the world, to meet new people, to discuss the universe, life, or about whatever you want, and to have access to real information. To have the opportunity to invent, discover and improve on your own. Imagine that we are almost 7 billion people and you have the opportunity to meet most of them.
Imagine you have access to any object or service you need. You will use these tools to progress your life, and understand their true value. Imagine that food is as abundant as air. It is no longer a problem now, but nothing stops you to invent new types of food or enjoy it.
Imagine you wake up today, you get into the monorail and go anywhere in the world, alone, just to meet other people. No food or comfort care, because they are found everywhere, and everything is freely available.
Imagine a world of scientists, but not like the present ones who are representing interest groups, or specialize in certain areas, but general scientists that will discover constantly. Imagine how fast we will progress.
Imagine not ever feeling alone because your family is not limited to a genetic order, it’s an entire species. Your species has 7 billion individuals. Your family is massive.
Imagine that you aren’t trapped by the sense of ownership, you are free from that point of view. No need to worry about thieves because they can not steal anything from you. No need to worry about your house, because you can change it whenever you want.
Imagine a world without a particular schedule. It doesn't matter what day it is, how old are you, or if it is day or night. Everything is continuous.
Imagine people who, instead of competing with each other, work together to solve problems. A world where information, goods and services are abundant and everything is the best quality possible. A world with free access...
Imagine our species working together for the benefit of everyone. We, human beings, discovering together.
Imagine such a world, which is, in fact, a real one.
For the first time we can be human beings, we can extract meanings from verifiable data and behave accordingly.

35 The Dilemma from TROM
So far we have proved the following:
1. Existence: our understanding of life from a scientific standpoint, it’s amazing. As far as we know we are the only species capable of exploration, discovery and questioning our existence.
2. We are the product of our environment. The brain has no mechanism to distinguish between what is relevant or not, so our environment is crucial.
3. The environment in which we grew, monetary system, is a belief system based heavily on imagination. A system that is obsolete, Non-progressive and harmful for a human being.
4. We have discovered that we can change our environment into an efficient, progressive and extremely well organized one: The Venus Project. It could be changed tomorrow because the technology is available and human beings are proven to be motivated by the purpose of work, what greater purpose could there be?
If the 4 points are true, why haven’t we begun working towards a better society? The system we find ourselves in harms us, yet we do nothing about it. If we know that the present system is harming us, and solutions exist, why don’t we try to make a change?
[ The Dilemma ]
If everything happens in our brains and a decision to adopt another system is a simple process, then how is that not happening?
To form an idea, let's point out some very important facts:
1. Lack of information.
When you do not know that technology is capable of creating another system, when you do not know how a human being works, what reality is, what existence is, when you are not informed, you can not find solutions due to the limited information you were exposed to. If you do not analyze your current status, monetary system, and how it works, to get an idea about you and the environment through your own analysis supported by science, then you will not be able to understand due to the limited information you have.
2. The learning mode of a human being.
In the documentary “The Human Ape” an analysis was done between chimpanzees and humans and one of the discoveries was that chimpanzees learn just by looking at adults, not learning the moves but basically obtain the result, while human beings tend to copy the teacher's behavior.
{CLIP}
Humans develop through imitation, not of just a result but of the exact steps to obtain the result. If we use imitation to learn then we are the result of our environment, which is currently the monetary system.
3. Obedience.
Many scientific studies have shown that human beings are obedient to authorities in that state, or the group they belong.
{CLIP}
4. Homeostasis.
One of the most important points.
Homeostasis, (or why beggars are comfortable as beggars, poor are comfortable being poor, mediocres are content being mediocre or winners always want to win): The property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition; Human homeostasis refers to the body's ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather.
What does this mean?
If, for only a few months, you stay at the computer on the Internet, your body gets used to it and will feel uncomfortable when you suddenly have to change this habit and go every day, for instance, to play soccer.
If a person has become accustomed to poverty- and a higher amount of money is available to him- he will quickly spend it on whatever is available, because poverty is the natural state and the body got used to this, and, strange as it may seem, that extra money causes him discomfort and the body wants to change this state to the previous one. If you become accustomed to idleness, it will be very hard to learn diligence, because it does not feel natural at all.
When you disturb homeostasis the body responds to it in a variety of ways. You can be affected by physical disorders such as: dizziness, nausea, stomach discomfort, digestive disruption or you can be affected by psychological disorders such as: depression, laziness and stress.
You have to take that risk for all this, if you really want to have a different life than the one you have now. If you want to go quickly from what life offers you now to another one, the change will be tough and that's the price you must pay.
What I'll teach you is to bring out the qualities that you desire and develop your personality, to have the comfort you want, to have a sex life that you want, the relationship you desire, the lifestyle you want.
To get the results you want, you need to be fully involved, physically and mentally. What you will learn and what you have to do to become successful in these aspects of life will not be a walk in the park. You will have to disturb homeostasis in order to achieve it, and it takes effort and sweat, if you want to achieve in a short time what many do not get in a lifetime.
At first, when I had to learn all these things, I didn't feel "myself", but I did not give up because I really wanted to succeed. And believe me, I never felt more "myself" than I do now.
So think carefully before you say "I can not do it because I'm not like that." It's your inside Muppet that is telling you that because a new idea means disturbing homeostasis. Anyone who prevents you from making a change, because what you have is “good enough”, is also a Muppet.
When you have this personal success, you feel more yourself than before. To have power in the outside world, you need to have inner strength. This means to rely on yourself, believe in yourself, know that no-one is to blame except you.
To have personal power is to have a real vision about yourself and the world, to be honest with yourself. Self-esteem is essential. Whatever you do from now on, keep this word in mind: RESPECT.
If you do not respect yourself, you lose before you begin. If you believe that you don't deserve respect, you'll have nothing.
Homeostasis will make you feel comfortable, regardless of your environment, success, or whether you're a happy person or not.
If you want to get from who you are now to the person who has everything he wants, you will have to endure a temporary state of discomfort, until you feel good about being the person you become.
Our body, brain and behavior have an innate tendency to remain in the same state between some very narrow limits, and if those limits are exceeded it will return to it’s previous state.
And that's a good thing most times. If the body temperature would rise or fall by 10% you have very big problems. It is the same with blood sugar and many other basic functions of your body.
This state of balance, or resistance to change, is called homeostasis. From bacteria, or a frog to a man, family, or large groups of people and whole cultures, homeostasis plays it's role - and its laws are valid with mental states and behavior, not just physical.
I mentioned how physical homeostasis works. Mentally, if you're used to watching television 10 hours a day this is a condition where you feel natural. Everything else is perceived as "bad" and "hard", for both your body and mind.
In groups, family, society, friends, the homeostasis balance are maintained by instructions, laws, penalties, privileges, rules, gifts, favors, signs of approval and affection.
A nation is held together by its culture, laws, education, sports etc.
Thus, homeostasis helps maintain the status quo and by doing so prevents change- even when our environment harms us.
Let's say you have a family, bank debt and feel pretty sick of your life. You work a lot to sustain your family, but you can’t afford more than the minimum necessities. Now comes a documentary such as TROM, or you hear about the Venus project somehow, a project that can substantially improve your life. You say you want to have such a life and live in such a way. You have heard that you can help this process by informing people about it, but you still say it's impossible.
Although now you know that human behavior is sculpted by the environment, that people are motivated by the purpose of work, money is an invention and that present technology is capable of producing such a system, you still find it impossible. You're afraid of this system, you will associate with New World Order or other conspiracy theories, you're afraid for your family, you're afraid you'll lose your job, and you continue creating negative scenarios in your mind. You feel small. You can not find any reason for you to get involved, although you don’t have any real reason why this system could not work. You always say that the way you act now, service and family care, is the most mature, most suitable way to act for such a situation. You discard your desire for that kind of life by saying to yourself that, if such a system is possible, others will put into practice. You then return to the state you were in before.
Homeostasis does not distinguish between changes for the better and change for the worse. It resists any change. Any state that you are now in is considered normal by your physique and psyche. This is the first problem that you encounter.
If you are poor, sedentary, without success, physically and mentally broke, depressed for too long ... it is considered normal and any attempt to change will be perceived as a threat to your body and mind.
The first step is understanding that it will start when you begin to change, to know and fight homeostasis.
Be aware of how homeostasis works and then strive for change, do not let it stop you. Expect the physical and mental resistance. When the alarm starts ringing, it does not mean that you are sick or dying, or what you want is impossible, or you're lazy, or that you were wrong by choosing to change. It is an indicator that your life is changing the way you want, for your benefit, through your choices. Do not panic and do not give in.
As I said, you can expect resistance from family, friends, the entourage. Homeostasis applies to social groups as well. When you start to change, the whole system that you belong to begins to change. People will often react negatively, but they don't want to harm you. It's just homeostasis and they will adapt if you persevere.
Negotiate with your resistance to change. When the change starts, pay attention to pain, discontent. You have to persevere and to push forward, but be careful not to push to far. At the limit, but aware of you. Do not push forward like crazy.
Negotiate with the pain. How do you react when you push the limits? Fear? Psychosomatic?
Self sabotage? Quarrels with others?
None of the above? Stay tuned. Negotiate.
Develop a support system. The best support comes from people who have gone through something similar or maybe even go with you.
Homeostasis can easily be noticed in our case, the system change.
If you present to people the Venus project, a project that will change their life significantly, raise their level of comfort, free them from servitude, and they are not interested in this idea- regardless of it’s basis in reality- this clearly demonstrates the psychological effects of homeostasis. If you are not interested in improving your life it means that the body is fighting to maintain the current status.
[ Most people on planet Earth :
(1) Are poorly informed because of the monetary system
(2) Tend to copy other characters from their own species, and these characters are created by the monetary system itself
(3) Tend to be obedient in front of present 'normality' in the culture that they belong to, which leads to inability of changing
(4) All people, because they are human beings, 'suffer' from homeostasis ]
So, to get from point A (monetary system) to B (the Venus project), you should start to inform people in your life about the Venus Project and about points 2, 3 and 4. If you know that you tend to be obedient in front of present normality in the culture you belong to, you're an environmental creation, or that you tend to keep your most common condition, even if this condition is harmful to you, you will know what you are up against and the decisions will come in accordance with this information.
I know that this solution, informing the population, seems too simple to be true, but we have shown that solutions for improving the system and the individuals life exist, but they are not put into practice because of the people's ignorance and lack of tangent to reality.
If you start to inform people about subjects such as those presented in this documentary, and solutions like The Venus Project, you will trigger a chain reaction and people will start to inform others. We are almost 7 billion people on this planet and for a system like The Venus Project to be applied, we must share the same reality, otherwise it's like we have 7 billion people living in different worlds , in different realities. Can not get anything progressive like that.
Debate, discuss and improve your information.
The Zeitgeist Movement has provided lots of publicity for the Venus Project; Several million people have heard about the Venus Project and information has begun to spread quickly through TVP organised teams, with many chapters in different countries. Many countries have organized groups to inform people about such a system based on Earth's resources, and in each such country are several chapters in various cities.
The Internet allows you to express yourself freely, take advantage of it, but remember: this move towards a society based on the Earth's resources is not a movie, not a play, it's really necessary, concentrate to understand it.
34 Resource Based Economy from TROM
[ RBE : Resource Based Economy ]
A Resource Based Economy, is based on pure logic.
If you go on a Mountain Expedition- you calculate how much food you have, how many people there are and how long the trip will be. You then arrive at a decision about the resources you need for the expedition.
If you send a spacecraft to the moon, you will need to analyse the situation to find out what resources are necessary for your expedition. You will take into account the food, the number of people going on this expedition, and the fuel for such a journey.
If you, like a species, want to populate another planet, first you analyze what resources are available, and how many people such a planet can sustain.
Well, it's the exact same thing with planet Earth, only that here the monetary system does not take into account the planetary resources.
Luckily for us, there is already a plan to organise our world, it is called The Venus Project.
A nation without a vision of what the future can be, is bound to repeat past errors, over and over again.
This brief video will 'outline' a vision designed to avoid making the same mistakes. A vision of efficiency, sustainability, and intelligent planning. A vision to lead us into a marvelous new world of unlimited human potential.
This vision could be a showcase of what the world can be, in our cybernated age. Science and technology, could be used for human betterment, and the restoration and protection of the environment, serving as an example of the intelligent application of a systems approach.
While some people advocate the restoration of existing worn out cities, this effort falls short of the potential modern technology offers. Repairing current cities results in higher costs of operation and maintenance. It is actually less expensive, in the long run, to build newer cities from the ground up, than to restore and maintain old ones.
A total city system approach requires overall planning to attain the highest standard of living for all their city's occupants. The circular arrangement, efficiently permits the most sophisticated use of available resources, and construction techniques, with a minimum expenditure of energy. The most advanced amenities that modern science and technology can provide could be made available to everyone. The city could be a help and learning center, where people from all over the world visit, and hopefully emulate this design approach in other parts of the world. Design considerations for this new city include: it's assembly, the reduction of maintenance, efficient transportation, and its simplicity and durability. This would include the flexibility to permit on going, and later changes. The city would function as an evolving, integrated organism, rather than a static structure.
This system's approach envisions assembling entire cities, by standardised basic structural elements, which are prefabricated in automated plants, and assembled on site. Many of these buildings would be comprised of standard units, that can be arranged to meet many different requirements. This approach means that this city can be extremely cost efficient, because only one sector needs to be designed, which can be duplicated repeatedly for the completion of an entire city.
The outer perimeter would be part of the recreation area, with golf courses, hiking and biking trails and opportunities for water sports. Inside this area, a waterway surrounds an agricultural belt, with indoor and outdoor agriculture. Continuing into the city center, eight green sectors provide clean, renewable resources of energy, using wind, solar, and heat concentrators. Waste recycling, and other services, are located beneath the city. The plan utilizes the best of clean technology, and harmony with the surrounding environment. The residential district features beautiful landscaping, with lakes and winding streams.
A wide range of creative, innovative apartment buildings and individual, unique homes, would provide many options for the occupants. New and innovated methods of vast mass construction for housing and building systems, would inject composed materials into a mold, and then extrude the form upward. In some cases, multiple city apartments can be produced as continuous extrusions, which are then separated into individual units. Cranes transport the prefabricated dwellings to site locations, they are then lifted and inserted into a support structure. The apartments are lightweight and high strength. All of these dwellings are designed as self contained residences. The outer surface of these efficient structures serve as photovoltaic generators, converting solar radiation directly into electricity for heating, cooling and other needs. The thermocouple effect would also be used for generating electricity. The wide range of individual homes are prefabricated and relatively maintenance free, fire resistant and impervious to weather. With this type of construction, there will be little or no damage from floods, earthquakes or hurricanes. Their thin shell construction can be mass produced, efficiently and economically. New energy efficient systems can be installed to supply enough power to operate the entire household.
Adjacent to the residential district, there are planning, science and research centers. Eight domes, surrounding the central dome house art, music, exhibition, entertainment and conference centers. Lovely parks, lakes, streams and waterfalls, are located throughout the entire city. The central dome (or “theme center”) contains schools, health care, distribution center, communications networking, and childcare. It is also the core for most transportation services, which move people by transveyors, horizontally, vertically and radially anywhere in the city. This minimizes the need for automobile transportation, except for emergency vehicles. Transportation between cities would be by 'monorails'.
The central dome would eventually house a cybernated complex, which serves as the brain and nervous system of the entire city. It projects a 3D, virtual image of Earth, using satellite communication systems which display information on weather, agriculture, transportation and the operation of the whole city. This cybernated system would use environmental sensors, to help maintain a balance load economy, which avoids surplus and shortages. For example, in the agricultural belt, electronic probes monitoring and maintain the soil conditions, water table, nutrients and more. This method of electronic feedback can be applied to the entire city complex. With computers now able to process trillions of bits of information per second, they are vital for arriving at correct decisions for the management of these innovated cities.
Some of these cities may be total enclosure systems, which are self-efficient. These massive structures would contain residences, parks, recreation, entertainment, health care, educational facilities and more. Everything built in these cities would be as near to a self-contained system as conditions allow. In this total enclosure arrangement, the skyscraper assures that more land is available for parks, and wilderness preserves, while at the same time, eliminating urban sprawl.
Wherever possible, geothermal energy can be harnessed. Geothermal power offers the possibility of an abundant source of clean energy. This source alone can provide enough energy for the next thousand years. Regional transportation systems would include a network of waterways and canals. These bodies of water could minimize the threat of floods, and droughts, by diverting flood-waters to storage basins. In addition, these canals could supply water for irrigation, fish farms and recreation. The canals can also be used for desalinization, using a method of evaporative condensation.
A network of tunnels could facilitate transportation of passengers, and freight across the Sahara Desert, to all the Earth’s regions, free of the effects of sandstorms. These tunnels would be located thirty, to forty feet below the desert surface, with ventilators every thousand metres. Water could be pumped from below the surface of the Sahara, and transported to all the Earth’s regions.
In some instances, ships could serve as floating automated plants, capable of processing raw materials, into finished products while en route to their destinations. Huge ships and submarines, with many removable and interchangeable compartments, would carry freight across the oceans. Rather than separated containers, an entire freight section can be automatically disengaged at the port. Bridge designs would be greatly simplified, and bridges can be made corrosion resistant. They would be prefabricated and transported to the site, by twin hold catamarans. On some bridges, trains could be suspended beneath traffic lines.
Colonization of the oceans is one of the last frontiers remaining on Earth. Prodigious oceanic city communities, would evolve as artificial islands, floating structures, undersea observatories, and more. These large marine structures are designed to explore the relatively untapped riches of the oceans, and provide improved mariculture, fresh water production, energy and mining. This could offset land based shortages. They could also provide almost unlimited riches in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, fertilizers, minerals, oil and natural gas. Ocean cities would be resistant to earthquakes, and greatly relieve land based population pressures.
The population would vary, from several hundred, to many thousand. Underwater oceanic viewing and research facilities, provide expansive panoramic observations of the undersea world, in its natural habitat, without disturbing the ocean environment. Unsinkable floating sea domes, would attract those who prefer unique offshore or island living. In the event of inclement weather, they could easily be towed ashore, mounted, and anchored to elevated support structures. Mariculture and sea farming systems, are used to cultivate and raise fish, and other forms of marine life, to help meet nutritional needs. These marine enclosures are designed as non contaminating integral parts of the ocean environment.
A true world's fair of the future would emphasize the contributions made by all nations toward advancing humanity. Although this fair would provide entertainment, its main function is the deeper understanding of the world we live in, and the people who inhabit it. The architectural structures themselves, would be jewels of future possibilities, with a wide variety of exhibition buildings. Many of the displays will depict, not what the future will be, but, what it can be, if we use science and technology with human and environmental concerns. It could be a vivid future showcase of human potential. Videos, three-dimensional displays and full size diagrams, will depict the fabulous advantages for all nations, when working together to preserve the greatest gift we have: The resources and beauty of our planet. In a final analysis, we are one people, and share one planet...
Jacque Fresco is the one who arrived at such a solution through careful study of human behaviour and the technology behind creating a global resource based economy. The solutions he has presented for more than thirty years (maglev trains, self erecting buildings, self-sustaining houses) still haven’t been widely adopted due to the monetary system’s constraints.
{ CLIPs - 1h compilation }
We must remember that this is a much better system than the current one, not some utopia, because such a thing doesn't exist. Technology and discoveries are constantly moving, so you can not have the best technology and the best system, it’s a continuous process of progression.
For such a society, you need technology that will free man from any unwanted work, will produce plenty of goods and services, and will lead automation to a new dimension .
A society in which everyone shares, and no one owns anything. A society in which human beings use technology as extensions of themselves. A highly educated society, a society where information and technology will be accessible to all, without any servitude. A society where no one will be in charge, because it will not be needed, a society without reasons for conflict.
A society where you will feel like a human being, and the rest (technology, information, comfort, etc) will only be an extension of you.
{CLIP}
33 Technology from TROM
[ Technology ]
Technology represents our tools, tools that help human beings to progress, to create comfort, or to understand and define the environment. An extension of our senses.
So, technology is an extension of human beings. Do not forget that.
Unfortunately in the current system, the monetary system, much of the technology has become a part of the composition of an individuals’ social image, and often they see themselves, or others, through the objects they possess. Therefore we have the impression that we depend on technology (telephone, car, house, computer, Internet).
A more accurate picture would be this.
Again, do not forget, technology is an extension of human beings.
Automation.
We have shown how almost any job can be automated, and this automation leads directly to abundance. But, to achieve abundance, besides automation, you need materials.
[Materials]
To get an idea about materials needed, which are planetary resources, you have to complete a survey of the planet, a thorough analysis of the planet's resources. Then, put this in relation to population growth.
A survey is the basis for an intelligent system in any environment, but the monetary system is not based on any survey. To understand the importance of a survey we must relate to products that are manufactured today.
Food.
Types of food. Millions of types of food in the present, several hundred thousand of the same type, produced by different companies.
Sweets. Millions of types of candies, several hundred thousand products are identical but produced by different companies.
Drinks. Alcoholic drinks, soft drinks or milk, here also are millions of types of drinks, and some hundreds of thousands of identical products created by different companies.
Animal food. Hundreds of thousands of types of foods for animals, in a system designed for the human species, but in which, tens of thousands of people die daily from hunger.
Humans need 2-3 meals a day, and 1-2 liters of water in order to survive. We could restrict the products we produce to only a few thousand types and create more than necesarry for everyone.
If you can produce millions of types of foods, drinks, sweets, or food for animals, it means that material to "create food" exists. That, plus the fact that we throw away tons of food in the monetary system every day.
Reducing our waste, combined with permaculture, or mariculture, can create an abundance of food with lots of variety.
Other materials.
Various construction materials.
You must take into account here, all unnecessary objects from the monetary system, which are still produced. Decorative objects, recycling machines (if objects would be of the highest quality, then you wouldn’t need recycling machines), entertainment items (from football stadiums that are about 70, 80 thousand seats, to millions of musical instruments). Amusement parks, objects for animals, special cages, clothes or other objects designed for other beings on this planet. That, in a system created for the human race, in which millions of people have nowhere to sleep, or clothes to keep them warm. Thousands of houses or buildings, not used. Whether they are private, only for certain events, or they are simply empty waiting to be occupied by people with money. Millions of types of clothing, in a world of fashion.
If we focus on utility in the production of new objects and recycle the unnecessary ones, we could easily provide shelter, clothing and other essential items for comfort to everyone.
Energy.
Energy is vital to technology. From lighting, to most devices that you own, cars or any equipment, everything is powered by energy.
Energy is a quantity that indicates the ability of a physical system to perform work when going through a transformation from one state to another in the chosen reference state. Energy is a state function.
Currently, oil is still used to power these machines, but oil is a substance that is found on planet Earth, and unfortunately it is exhaustible.
Currently there are so many types of renewable energies, that only an extremely harmful system can stop an abundance of energy.
Solar Energy, Ocean Thermal Energy conversion, Geothermal Energy, Bloom Energy, Wave Energy, Bio-energy, Bio-fuels, Biomass, Tidal Power, Wind Power, Compressed Natural Gas, Nuclear Power Generator, Human power, etc..
To get an idea, you can consider only two such types of renewable energies.
Geothermal Energy.
{ CLIP }
And, Solar Energy.
{ CLIP }
How Many Solar Panels Would It Take to Power The Entire World?
The entire surface of Africa, maybe? Actually, it's surprisingly less.
Just 496,905 square kilometers. That's really nothing compared to the total world area: Less than the surface of Spain.
This map shows suitable area’s to use solar panels and the approximate area required to generate enough energy. They would be further divided many times, the more the better, to reach a diversified infrastructure that localises use as much as possible.
Both can provide the electricity necessary for the next thousand years.
Energy is more than abundant, only an extremely harmful system can stop an abundance of it.
{ CLIP }
Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Renewable energy, Intelligent Transportation, 3D printers, Synthetic Biology, Supercomputing, Mariculture , Permaculture, Internet ..........
Relate this to the fact that a human being needs food to survive, and comfortable conditions to progress.
Technology is more than capable of providing that.
Automation can be achieved. Abundance, the same.
TECHNOFOBIA
Many people are scared when it comes to technology, because they think that the more advanced technology is, the more we will be at risk because of it, because robots have the capacity to arrive at decisions.
1. If you are somehow influenced by movies, then you should do an analysis of yourself, to see why you got into this situation.
2. You grew up in a competitive environment, where you had the illusion that there are bad people, and you think there will be a competition between you and machinery. Much mysticism, mystery, and a deep gap between you and real information. It is normal for you to create such scenarios.
In addition to this, some people invent robots after the human body, which is totally wrong, both in terms of utility and technology.
3. If you have not noticed, you are driven by technology.
Think about airplanes that are almost entirely automated, robotic.
Machines, mobile phone, fridge, internet, medical machines, you are dependent on those technologies, and, I do not think that you suffer because of them, you actually benefit.
When were you last scared of your microwave exploding?
How many times have you relied on GPS or Internet?
Have you ever doubted medical tests?
A computer ever tried to kill you by using high frequency sounds through speakers?
You have a lot of knives in the house, do they seem dangerous to you? How many times have you wanted to kill with them?
Are you scared of software errors in an airplane?
You trust an electronic clock...
What if your fridge contaminates food overnight ?
Technology is part of your life, the rest are just illusionary stories. Why can you not contemplate positive scenarios? Think about that.

32 Questions and the Collapse from TROM
As you saw, most situations and ideas, created or perpetuated by the monetary system, are; immoral, insufficient, and based more on imagination than reality.
Moreover, these situations, ideas and problems can be solved, or improved, by the abundance of goods and services, as well as education. But, as we have seen, these solutions can not be applied in the monetary system which has created or perpetuated them.
To move to a resource based economy, a system without wars, politics, or poverty, a society which will produce a significant reduction of criminality, by creating abundance, you must ask some questions, about the current system .
We saw that the monetary system, which relies heavily on the agreement of individuals to accept papers as valuable and auto limitation through money (although they no longer have any relevance today), maintains a constant inequality between people, creating social classes (functions, degree of education, etc.) , which leads directly to a system with problems.
To judge another system, another organization of human beings, you should relate to your current system. So, do not forget.
- In this system you do not choose to participate.
- Even if you choose not to participate, it's almost impossible to survive due to restrictions. Same happens with access to information, comfort, etc.
- Monetary system relies heavily on imagination. Think about the documents that create your identity. These are only papers, and are very easy to replicate.
- How can the monetary system be trusted, when there are many people on planet Earth that replicate various currencies, and use them like citizens of this system do, without working for them. When every day millions of spam is sent, thousands of them scams struggling to obtain money unlawfully.
- We live in an unequal society, because of this inequality among us we have to guard our goods to prevent others from stealing them. How can you feel safe in a society like that?
- How are you not saddened by the fact that there are so many people without anything in this system. Deprivation is a mockery of humanity.
- How are you not afraid that people who have nothing to lose, might kill you for food, like wild animals.
- How do you walk on the streets, knowing that there are thousands, if not millions, of such people, who have no food to survive.
Or, how do you accept that individuals from your own species, are starving.
How do you pass by those people, and remain indifferent.
{ CLIP }
In a system with so much deprivation we have prisons that offer a bed, daily food, and a roof over your head. Some even have special programs for inmates to be entertained and allow them to learn. It’s insane to think that people that do nothing wrong battle to survive but those that harm others have the necessities of life provided for them.
- How do you remain calm, when the justice system is based on a language that is subject to interpretation. Everything you say, can be interpreted the way the listener wants. How safe do you feel knowing that you are obedient in front of authority, obedience which is driven by the fear of being deprived of your current status.
- Remember... that the monetary system is a surface system. You recognize people by uniform, or some documents, papers, and this is dangerous, because they can be forged easily.
- How do you trust the food, offered by the system, when it is produced by companies that just want profit.
Consider advertising methods, that encourage you to buy low quality products which don’t perform as well as they claim.
What do you think about those people, in advertising, that take advantage of your subconscious, making you a prolific consumer. That do tests, on children, to find out how to get people to buy their products.
- How can a monetary system work, if people are not motivated by money?
- What do you think about a system, that ignores the planet's resources, does not care about earth’s caring capacity and continues to use oil to generate energy despite renewable energy being abundant.
- How can you feel free in a society with so many laws? Knowing that the laws do not solve problems, but only punish those who disobey. The justice system does not lead anywhere. So, you will not get rid of these laws, on the contrary, they will multiply.
- What do you think about the fact that low quality goods are produced intentionally, to maintain the market.
Do you not feel it is a waste of resources?
Do you not feel that it’s a mockery?
- Your health is in danger with such a system, that asks you to exchange money, for your eventual repair. What if, you do not have money. What if you do not have enough money.
It is shocking that you can die, while solutions exist for your treatment. It’s insane to think that you can die because you do not own some papers, papers without any actual value.
How can you trust the health system, when it values profit over your health.
- Are you not scared of an overpopulated world, which is the result of our culture. The idea of the family, makes people want to have one, or more children, and this idea is created, and perpetuated, by the culture. Do you not fear this ?
Do you not feel offended that you had to learn an old and inefficient language, that you can share with only a few people. It was decided for you by the area in which you were born, called a country.
- Isn’t it ridiculous that people are still separated by things like nationality while our real value, as a species, is not recognised?
- Many people believe politicians are corrupt, yet they still support the system that enables them. How can you support something that you believe to be corrupt?
Why let your life decisions be made by other people. Can’t you take care of yourself?
Do you prefer having your decisions made by others?
- Do you not find it hard to live in a world where everyone has a right to an opinion, that leads to total chaos? And what is the value of your opinion? If you say that religion is an invention, will it improve anything?
- You have to pay money for food and water!
Necessities of life that no-one owns. Why should you pay for them? Just because you were born on planet 'Earth'...
- Everyone wants to benefit from the system, but benefiting often leads to others being neglected. This naturally leads to stealing which requires officers to prevent. People without access to necessities will try to obtain goods and services by any means, often not accepted by the system because everything here is based on money and ownership.
How safe do you feel knowing that people will always try to take advantage of others, and possibly you.
- Do you not find it chaotic in a system where people rely more on movies than scientific documentaries? People draw conclusions from Terminator and E.T., on some important subjects.
Are you not afraid of people committing crimes with your identity in a system where everything is subject to interpretation.
- What do you think about a system that creates billions of decorative elements, when hundreds of thousands of people die daily of starvation, and hundreds of thousands do not have a shelter.
- Don’t you think it’s crazy that there is a massive gap between present technology and the devices produced? There is also a gap between what the average person knows and what scientists have discovered, for example: Do you know how your refrigerator works? What about your mobile phone? Can you enumerate five internal organs of your body? Do you know how they work?
- Do you not find it hard to form solid ideas in a system that allows thousands of conspiracy theories, a society that leaves room for interpretation and a society where religion is conveyed as truth when science contradicts it with verifiable results.
- How do you trust people that believe there is a creature in the sky, who watches everything you do, and if you don't believe in him, you will be sent to hell where you’ll burn eternally. Those people cannot present any proof of that, and still they are considered to be normal, even more, most of them populate the planet, and the monetary system does nothing to clarify this situation.
What do you think about the fact that most of the children are told, that this story is real, the story of religion. How crazy is it to say to a child that if he doesn't pray, and if he is not a faithful person, he will burn eternally in hell.
Why does the system allow this situation?
- Don't you ever wonder why you collect so many objects even though you may not use them? Don’t you ever wonder why we have to constantly replace items? What is this race all about? Aren't you tired?
Remember sexual attraction, pheromones, sex.
Now, we have.
1. The culture accepted by the monetary system, promotes the family idea. The idea of family, is one where, a male and a female live together for life.
Same sex partners, sexual attraction to others, the need for sex, pheromones.
2. Sexual scarcity. Constant coverage of certain parts of the body, create curiosity.
People of this tribe do not wear clothes, and that is as normal for them as wearing clothes is for you. They are not curious about others' body, because it is not a withheld from them.
3. Promoting sexuality in movies, commercials, TV shows.
What can you get from here.
Aberrations such as; Rape, Pedophilia, Necrophilia, Zoophilia.
Prohibiting natural events, like sex, by culture, and promoting sexuality through media, while maintaining scarcity, will lead to such behavior.
- Don’t you think defining beauty culturally is negative? People born with small abnormalities often get ridiculed, as do people with physically grotesque injuries. An environment so negative about these things can’t be good for our society.
- Aren’t you worried that many nations have armies and weapons of mass destruction? You could be caught in the middle, and you have nothing to say about that.
- Aren’t you alarmed that wars, which solve nothing, represent the biggest business in the world, and because of that, wars will never end. Isn't it dangerous with so many weapons in the world?
- Don’t you find it dangerous for people to have weapons with all the inequality and conflicting idea’s we have?
- Don’t commercials confuse you? Which companies can you truly trust?
- Whats your opinion about a system that sells luck through gambling. Don’t you think it’s crazy when so many people are starving?
- Don't you ever wonder why this man have so many, and you have nothing ?
- Don't you find it unfair to rely on the family you were born in?
- Aren't you scared about the fact that, in the monetary system, the aging problem doesn't count? Even if anti-aging treatments exist, you will not benefit from them. Only wealthy people will benefit.
- Do you not feel offended that some people earn lots of money, just because they look good according to the monetary system’s standards.
- Aren't you tired of others telling you how to dress?
- Aren't you sick of politicians lies? I mean, they should be improving society, otherwise, what’s their purpose.
Don’t you find it absurd that budgets for war are substantially better than for scientific research....
With automation replacing lots of jobs, aren’t you afraid of losing yours? Without a job you loose the ability to acquire food, so you could die as a result.
- Currently, 3D printers, or other technologies, can create gold or diamonds, which are considered precious materials in the monetary system.
Many people have such materials. Aren't they afraid that their goods will lose value? Does anybody wonder why those materials are considered valuable? It's because they are scarce materials on this planet.
Why do you allow your identity to be created through documents, your possessions or your job.
Why do you have a job that you hate?
Don't you wonder why there are so many types of food, instead of a few types of food but enough for everybody.
What do you think about a society that allows the consumption of cigarettes that cause cancer.
Or alcohol. Why do you need alcohol? Could you not find happiness without it ?
Do you not feel sad, watching others talk about their lives? And they are paid by the system for that.
Monetary system includes religion in the payment system.
{ CLIP }
{ CLIP }
{ CLIP }
You have to ask these questions.
The monetary system seems likely to collapse...
I said “it seems” because i cannot know if it will happen or not.
So far we’ve examined the monetary system, and seen how harmful it is, and we presented solutions to improve the situations created by the monetary system. We now realise that these solutions are needed, because all evidence points towards this system collapsing.
This is some of the evidence which points towards a collapse.
To get any kind of goods or services, you need money, and the only way to get money, is work. Basically, you have to do something for the monetary system to receive money. Now, just from here this collapse comes.
People without a job will not have purchasing power.
Remember, The monetary system has a massive problem when there are fewer jobs than unemployed people.
As we saw when we talked about work, jobs are increasingly replaced by automation through machinery, this is an ongoing and progressive process.
It doesn’t matter if your job is irreplaceable at the moment, if hundreds of thousands of people can not work anymore, then, there will be problems. You are not the only participant in the monetary system.
People will not have purchasing power. It doesn't matter if the prices fall, or some salaries increase, if the majority of the population does not have purchasing power, there will be major problems.
The second situation is represented by the monetary system’s inability to cope with technology.
Let's just refer to two technologies.
[ 3D printers ]
{ CLIP }
[ Nanotechnology ]
{ CLIP }
People do not have purchasing power, and this situation will progress rapidly.
There are no more ways to employ citizens to maintain their purchasing power, because practically humans are less efficient and thus less productive than machines.
Technology is so advanced that it can produce an abundance of goods and services even if the system tries to restrict production.
{ CLIP }
You have to wonder; if man can be exempted from work, but production still continues, and even improves... why are we still limiting ourselves? I think, if you watched the documentary from the beginning, you have an answer to this question: the system itself.
Collapse symptoms seem obvious but it's offensive to a human being, who considers himself intelligent, to wait for the system to collapse in order to change something.
And remember, if we face a crash, it will be a disaster for many people. They do not see any other solution because they are poorly informed: they think that violence is part of human nature, they are caught up with money as an abstraction (forgetting that it is a unit of measure like meters) and forget that technology is just a tool, it’s not something to be scared of. These people do not understand that solutions exist, so when they face this crash they’ll become angry. That's why something must to be done now.

As extremely chaotic as our system is, it’s amazing that it has survived so long.
