The Money Fix

submitted by fissionchips

1 decade 4 years 10 months ago

Money. We use it everyday yet our concept of it is limited. When we talk about money, we talk in terms of what it does, not what it is. Despite our ignorance of money it rules most of our lives. I recently finished a great documentary about money that I would like to share with you. “The Money Fix” goes into the detail of money and describes how our system creates money out of thin air, embeds each of us with a “scarcity complex” and incites competition instead of cooperation.

Moving this video to fissionchips's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Glad to see this long film get eight votes on the first try. I like the mix of expert and non-expert interviews, it gives good flow as a documentary style. *promote

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by original submitter fissionchips.

[Budzos is losing his mind]

Good lord. OK, so if the documentary is going to (accurately) recognize that the definition of 'money' will vary throughout time and between cultures, the documentary aught to limit and specify the term 'money' when it claims without additional exposition that "the central banks have a complete monopoly on money." That statement, made at approximately 13:10, is totally inaccurate given the video's preceding 13 minutes discussion of money. MCDONALDS makes money for crying out loud! Anyone can make money at any time, and no sane person would allege that the process is unlawful or even illegal.

And therein lies the true horror of the problem. No one is enslaved by any other man. I dare say nearly every single person in this video sees their own individual problems as caused by some outside actor. No one is as hopelessly enslaved as the man who fails to see that his captor is himself. Don't like the money? DON'T USE IT.

[Budzos is clearly going insane. Get a grip you fuckin monkey!]
