Have you Ever been Swept Off Your Feet?

In both cases – whether the bubble was inflated with positive or negative energy – the participants in the bubble are being swept away further and further away from actual physical reality and start to see everything either ‘extremely negatively’ or ‘extremely positively’ – neither experience is grounded in reality – because the physical is neither positive or negative – it just is what it is.

And Then You Crash – Meconomics

In this little series, we’ve been investigating the phenomenon of inflation, how we in our daily lives participate in ‘inflating our reality’ and so, how we are on a personal level participating in the same principles/dynamics that we see playing out on a bigger scale when it comes to inflation, speculative bubbles and financial market crashes.

Welcoming New Life with Living Income Guaranteed

Comfort, security and nurturing are all things we wish are present when a baby comes into this world. Yet, these conditions are not a reality for many babies, as parents themselves like these things in their lives. In Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa, 3 to 5 babies are…

Humanity Washed Ashore

This was an excerpt of just one of the stories about the boy. Over the last few days, dozens have been written and published on various major news sites. What is more striking than the content of the posts, is the comments that are left on these articles. What is humanity’s response to such images, to such news?

Voting Fun – What does it Feel Like to Have a Say?

Now – before such increased direct political participation is a reality – let’s do a little test to see what it feels like. So – here are some mock-questions where you’re asked to give your input.

I commit myself to create an economic system that is not built on the principle of trade-offs where each one can be provided for to the fullest without compromising another or another aspect of one's well-being.

I commit myself to expose the economic system and the manner in which it balances itself out - for what it is: a system of compromise and inequality - instead of admiring the apparent ingenuity of the current system.

I commit myself to create an economic system where there are no such forces as inflation that stand outside of one's control - that are determined by those with huge amounts of money - so that there are no unexpected surprises in our life where we suddenly have to sacrifice certain things, just because we can't afford it anymore.

I commit myself to create an economic system where the allocation of goods and services is determined not by some powerful individual, elected or not, but by the people, together, through a democratic system of 1 man 1 vote.

I commit myself to stop blaming the economic system for how it influences my life, but instead, commit myself to take responsibility within the realisation that each of us have created this system in our acceptance and allowance and thus, to educate myself in how economics works and join groups who are dedicated to find solutions that are best for all.

I commit myself to let go of the idea that I, in any way, have free will within the capitalistic system as the capitalistic system controls the economic environment and one cannot get around this environment in order to do anything in this world.
