Hahaha, Max, we’re both using English but I think what’s different is our perspectives. Our mindsets.
A habit I have from very young is observing how the paradigm/system we’re in impacts people’s behaviors. Not just those of family members. For almost 18 years, my focus has been to try to identify the root cause of the systemic mess we face. The conclusion I keep coming to is that we cannot solve our problems with the same Business-as-usual logic used to create them.
We are systematically conditioned to disconnect but that’s not from our needs but from our true and innate value. Why? Because to survive, you need money and its scarcity fixates everyone on self-preservation. Since our money-centric paradigm demands that, we become money-chasing machines to survive/get ahead. Scarcity is an addiction, an illness.
In the process, we unwittingly outsource our survival (basic necessities e.g. food, shelter, healthcare to name a few) to profit maximizing Business-as-usual entities. This process evolved over centuries but sped up the hundred or so years. It’s also how we learn learned helplessness. I explore these issues in Social movements powering the future of money to try to explain why we need a paradigm shift out of Nonsense.
A paradigm is the water we swim in because it is a way of life — a way of thinking and doing. Stuck in one where we all need money to survive and there’s an abundance of people and a scarcity of money, don’t we then co-create the Age of ‘I win, you lose’ Nonsense by default?
What do you mean when you write that the need to earn money to survive is objectively untrue, please?
If people do not understand that we first have to shift our thinking and doing from ‘For me’ survival (Control) to ‘For us’ (Empowerment), how will a paradigm of True Abundance be possible? Insanity is thinking and doing the same thing but expecting different results.
This was my first attempt explaining the two paradigms even though I call the incumbent one, the Age of ‘I win, you win’ Nonsense now and the ‘Age of We,’ True Abundance.
