That's certainly part of it. Do you disagree with the concept of expanding the money supply?
I believe that the monetary system itself is a primitive system.
We easily have enough resources to keep expanding our technology and make it so -nobody- suffers, -nobody- starves.
Our monetary system holds us back, so we cannot start this progress.
Many sources of energy are available.
Nuclear, hydrogen and such are highly inefficient and create byproducts, and also need invested energy.
solar energy has enough power in 1 hour at noon to meet the world's power consumption of a year. if we can catch 1% of this energy, we would never need oil again.
also there is wind..if wind is fully harvested in 3 us states, the us would be fully powered.
tidal power produces some power, as does wave power.
and then there's geothermal, using only water it can produce a lot of clean energy.
earth contains 13000 zj of power available, and 2000 zj is easily tappable with slightly improved technique.
Earth's power usage a year is .5 zj
earth's heat energy is constantly renewed so this power source is limitless.
why do we not convert to this system?
in return we can continue to advance technologically without being held back, and war would be essentially unnecessary.
the problem with with the monetary system comes from the fact that we need intelligent resource management, and personal interest of the wealthy distracts the money from where it is needed.
where are the downfalls of this system? not nearly as many as our current system, the obvious ones are removed.
