PeanutsRevenge9 karma

Over the years I've chatted a fair few Zeit supporters/advocates who really don't (to me) understand what it is they're advocating. Do you think these people are a net positive for the movement or net negative? The more the merrier or unqualified/distracting voices harm the movement.

(mostly humourous) How certain are you that you're not the head of a cult? Every now and then the thought occurs to me TZM is a cult and I re-evaluate whether it is or not (gets a bit touch & go sometimes given how far away from traditional thinking it is and so many fail to understand)

For me, switching to crypto currencies that represent the resource cost of a good/product (carbon, water, rare earth elements, metals, hours of labour, etc) would be a good transitional tool that's implementable today. What tools do you think would really help transition our society that could be snuck through without requiring the end goal as a motivator?

I definitely agree it takes time to understand. Took me about 5 years of mulling to have the slightest confidence in saying 'I get it'. That was nearly 5 years ago and I'm still figuring so much out, knowing it's unlikely to be that way due to natural evolution of ideas and implementation's never(?) as envisioned :D

I concur. I was able to get maybe a dozen people from Secular Talk's live show listeners onto Zeit (not all advocates, but watched).

No joy at all with his social media manager however :@
