What is Wrong With Our Culture

The right system was agrarianism that produced actual physical goods. Today is like a mechanical system that produces almost nothing. People usually bartered or used hard money. Today people pay with artificial cash and fiat currency. Most jobs are part of the mechanical system that wouldn't have existed for most of history. People were meant to have a plot of land and be more a neighborly community. Not a place where most of the land is owned by a large number of corporations and everything is a competition. Television is brainwashing. Education is brainwashing. It's like a matrix where people have been absorbed into an illusion and they can't see the true totalitarian system that is in front of them. They shout what they have been taught. Many don't want to awaken because it might be too painful for them or they don't want to admit that everything they once believed was a lie.

What people don't also realize or mention in the mainstream is how the end of a gold-backed currency and the introduction of fiat money, combined with easy credit, caused the global population to surge creating too much of a population for the number of jobs, especially in areas with extreme poverty or without the necessary resources to support the given population.

Consumerism isn't the right economic system. Agrarianism is the right system. Exploitation vs. Harmony. Many service jobs were very limited for most of history and so were industrial type jobs. Most people had land and produced actual goods. Small businesses and maybe the occasional medium size business. Families owned their businesses. There was almost no credit. That system kept the population in check, kept prices fair, and prevented the governments from creating an artificial monetary system that would create exploitation and a Malthusian scenario that is now effecting the world.

Alan Watts seems to have a good handle on what is going on, but don't look to him for solutions as he seems to think we are all doomed.

I heard that his public and private personas were quite different, from what I hear he was a raging alcoholic and couldn't speak without being half blitzed among other things...

I find many great thinkers are always addicted to something physical whether it be drugs, alcohol, bizarre sexual exploits, etc. In a way it is contradictory to what they publicly espouse.

Also making solutions from him unlikely is the fact that he's been dead for 40 years.

Actually the answers are easy, the human race needs to have a conscience awakening. Everybody should be aware by now we need to be going in the direction to save the eco system for future generations and do it sensibly.

Sense I do not think that can happen with such a low general humanity intellect I think the old world order should hit the reset and call most of the herd a write off and start over.
