There is another way !

But 1st we need to rid the world of "Corruption" but that's NOT going to happen,
while the human species ("The Meat Suit") is put before LIFE !

The "human Species" is inherently Corrupt to the "core" !


BUT if we were to put LIFE 1st, we then have a common base,
where we all work for each other instead of ourselves.   :)


Then and only then, we will have true "Cooperation" .....   :)  and NOT "WAR "



Do I think this will happen ?

NOT for some years yet !

But eventually I think we will have NO "choice", but to change, when we exhaust,
all the other possibilities.

What was it about Thomas Edison ?

He invented a thousand and one ways of HOW NOT to make a light bulb,
before One way, which worked ....  :)

QuoteAnd the REAL problem is that, that will ALWAYS happen in ALL money systems because such systems promote the psychopaths.

I need to rethink my life, Hum, [thinking] "If I become a Psychopath, I will have all the money I need and goods I can ever dream of". Hummm! Sounds better that what I am doing now! Is there an Idiots book to becomming a Psychopath or do I have to wait for the movie?

Are there any poor Psychopaths or are they all rich?

Are there any non-psychopaths that are rich or are they all poor?

Are all the people who make dirty decissions psychopaths or are they just in that position that they have to make a call and let the chips fly.

Hummmm?

As will ALWAYS happen in a money system that promotes the psychopaths.

What a ridiculous statement.  Because I work, I save, I invest, I started my own company, I hired people to work for me and while paying them I also made money from their labor.... I'm a psychopath.  ("Rich" = "psychopath") (Side note - I don't consider myself "rich")

No.  That's basic business.  No one takes a risk and goes into business to lose money, or even break even.  You do it to hopefully make money. 

Apparently in Amaterasu's world providing good paying jobs for people is bad for society.

I think what you want is to not work and still have every single thing you ever want.  The socialist welfare uber utopia.  Punish the workers and reward to couch potatos.  The couch potatos become the new elite at the workers expense.

I think that we cannot comprehend the word 'rich'... as we are not the 0.1%

And from the 0.1% it's about 0.02% that are FILTHY RICH and yes, they are indeed the psychopaths.

No they are not.  They are people.  Just having money does not automatically make you a psychopath.  That's like casting a wide net and saying white skin makes you a racist.

WarToad, I completely agree with you on this. Are there rich psychopaths? Of course "Yes"! Are some people on welfare and food stamps psychopaths? Of course "yes"! One comment states that sociopath Experts estimate 1% to 4% of people are psychopaths, or have antisocial personality disorder. So, in those percentages, some of them are going to be in the rich category.

So Psychopathy is a recognized fairly general disorder, and is most certainly not limited to the rich.

Actually, do not most people associate with people who have similar monetary and social status situations?? If so, that means that the less-rich associate with those that are less rich. Does that mean they are "anti-socilal" toward the rich? Nope - just means they associate with the people they are most comfortable and happy with. Same would obviously go for the filthy rich - association is generally with peers for every level of the money ladder. So, to not closely associate with others outside one's peer level is no particular indication of psychopathy!

Some people were born into rich family situations. Many of today's rich people became rich on the basis of their ideas, capabilities, and hard work in building business empires, some having started in very off-beat places, like their dorm rooms for instance. Those born into it were fortunate, and those that made it themselves were extremely fortunate!   

Is there a medical term for those that "envy" those that are rich?? Phsyco_ _ _ _ ?

Is there a medical term for those who think the rich people should have to directly support the poor people? Psycho_ _ _ ?

Just one simple reason for the rich at any level being somewhat "anti-social" - panhandling at every level for help. We likely cannot even imagine how the rich are approached directly for "handouts"! Asking for everything from very small amounts of money to major investment amounts, for the "everybody has a bright idea on how to make money" scamming, except they haven't made theirs yet! Don't we hear some of that happening, from the major lotto winners??

If the rich do indicate some anti-socialness, I would say much of it would be "for cause"!

Just say'in!!

The social term is simply "class envy".  One of the seven deadly sins.   :)

And yes, I've lost track of how many times I've read Lotto winners saying that winning was one of the worst things that happened to them.  Money =/= happiness.

I applaud your sentiment mate.

And yea, money is not happiness. In a younger life I had more than I could cope with. All I have seen is more invented worry.
We worry when we don't have enough and invent new problems when we have too much.
Just enough to pay the bills and some treats is how I have felt the happiest.
Honestly.

Well, not everyone see things the same, but yes, the pieces of the puzzle have been visibly coming together for some time. And when "this puzzle" is complete, it will be more than wonderful!

No Money is a TOOL and it depends on how you use it :D  Money itself is not happiness. If you let the tool control YOU then miseries shall be your reward...

Money is not health, but money would allow one to hire the best available doctors rather than rotting away without treatment

Money is not love, but money will let you travel so you can find love, instead of hiding away in your cave making out on the internet pretending you are happy

Money is not happiness, but money would certainly allow me to buy things that would greatly improve my well being :P like an ATV so I can go back out exploring despite my bad legs, instead of being stuck behind the computer

RICH  is a relative term. Those that seek wealth for the sake of wealth and only care about the size of the number attached to their name are not RICH.... they just have a lot of GOLD :P

But why would ANYONE (other than Amy :P) not want to have enough money to live comfortably and worry and debt free? You don't need MILLIONS.... $200,000.00 is plenty. Enough to buy a house and car and pay cash for them so no debt... with some left over

Sure its great to dream about a new system that benefits all... but that is a dream that will never likely happen and even if it did it would not be withing most of our lifetimes.

So in the MEANTIME, while we are waiting for this to materialize out of thin air... WHY would ANYONE resist solutions that will help them be more comfortable in the current paradigm?

I don't get it... I really don't

Smoking pot is your answer? Well so be it.  The Rapture is coming? Well I doubt that... people been saying that for hundreds of years.

Myself... I will just practice what I preach and by the end of 2014 I will be RICH :P If the world ends before that so be it... not much I can do about that. But we survived 2000 and we survived 2012... not much has changed.  So screw it... time to focus on filling my Chests with GOLD :D

I could do that :D  but I won't need to ;)  Since I discovered that RICH people pay a lot of money for stuff on auction sites, I have a new direction to get cash :D

Metal detector top of the line  $750.00
Polaris ATV 2 seater used $2500.00

Red Skelton "Samurai" signed print picked up at Yard Sale $40.00

Red Skelton "Samurai" signed print value at auction starting bid $2,000.00

I suppose that's because it's not their system, and, to those people, only their system and their opinion counts.

Wrong thinking, Deuem.  If You "become a psychopath," You will be ruthless and will do whatever it takes to get money/power over Others, and stand a FAR greater chance of succeeding, as You do things that may (and do) hurt Others, kill Others, and take through nefarious means that which Others earned.  Being a psychopath does not GUARANTEE You will succeed, but the system does PROMOTE the psychopaths over the People who will stop short of hurting/killing/robbing/defrauding Their fellow Humans.

The rest of Your questions are moot, being based in Your wrong thinking.
