@Eceni, you know fine well – because you express it here very clearly – that money is at the core of the problem. And yet you want to create more of it? How can that work?
Also, this is an excellent and inspirational discussion between two very intelligent, well motivated and well intentioned people. But hasn't someone who is just back from nipping down to Tierra del Fuego for the weekend rather disqualified themself from talking about the future?
@simon_brooke nobody is disqualified if they're talking sense. And the idea that everyone is personally culpable - while industry just sails on - is a fossil fuel argument.
we want to create different money because the current version is too easy to hijack - there have to be ways of storing, accounting for and exchanging value unless we're going back to living in isolated villages - which is a really hard sell.
@Eceni Different money is not different. It's the whole principle of quid pro quo that is the problem: it systematically empowers the wealthy and the greedy. You cannot have a good society which is market based, nor a market-based society which is good.
