Value

Once the population of our planet has guaranteed the poorest 10 year old child the freedom to spend her Daily Bread as she sees fit, the information that is contained in those purchasing decisions will be worth more than the combined life’s output of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos and white slaver George Lucas combined.

Valor

Una vez que la población de nuestro planeta haya garantizado al niña más pobre de 10 años la libertad de gastar su pan diario como mejor le parezca, la información contenida en esas decisiones de compra valdrá más que la producción combinada de la vida de Bill Gates, Steve Jobs. , Jeff Bezos y el esclavista blanco George Lucas combinados.

“WE ARE NOT:

‘ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.’”

“BUT WE COULD BE”

“WE BETTER BE.”

The economy is dead.  The process of the concentration of wealth into a few hands was already way down the line.  The current situation has completed the process.

The institutions that run the world are now captured and will only act at the behest of their patrons.  With a few exceptions, we are all in the Bread Line.  If we can realize the humility this requires and combine it with the actions necessary to become our own benefactors we can not only move past this situation but transform our world.

A very wise wise man, the Jewish Rabbi known as Jesus, put it into perspective for us.    ‘Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’

We can, we must, offer each other a new measure, a measure that brings dignity and opportunity to every person on our planet.  Not in years, but now, today.  The Value of money depends on who owns it.  Money has no Value if you don’t have any.

This is not a solicitation for business.  This is a call for a new relationship between ourselves based on mutual respect and dignity of every human being on this planet.  What I am referring to is a new type of money.  e to the x Calibrator.

No estamos todos juntos en esto.

Pero podríamos serlo.

Deberíamos Ser

La economía está muerta. El proceso de concentración de la riqueza en unas pocas manos ya estaba muy avanzado. La situación actual ha completado el proceso.

Las instituciones que dirigen el mundo ahora están capturadas y solo actuarán a instancias de sus patrocinadores. Con algunas excepciones, todos estamos en la línea de pan. Si podemos darnos cuenta de la humildad que esto requiere y combinarlo con las acciones necesarias para convertirnos en nuestros propios benefactores, no solo podemos superar esta situación, sino también transformar nuestro mundo.

Un sabio muy sabio, el rabino judío conocido como Jesús, lo puso en perspectiva para nosotros.  

“Dad, y se os dará: se os pondrá en el regazo una medida llena, apretada, sacudida y desbordante. Porque con la medida que midáis a otros se os medirá a vosotros.”

Podemos, debemos, ofrecernos mutuamente una nueva medida, una medida que brinde dignidad y oportunidades a cada persona en nuestro planeta. No en años, sino ahora, hoy. El valor del dinero depende de quién lo posee. El dinero no tiene valor si no tienes ninguno.

Esto no es una solicitud de negocio. Este es un llamado a una nueva relación entre nosotros basada en el respeto mutuo y la dignidad de cada ser humano en este planeta. A lo que me refiero es a un nuevo tipo de dinero. e al x Calibrator.

“我们不是：

“所有人都在一起。””

“但是我们可以成为”

“我们更好。”

经济不景气。将财富集中到少数人手中的过程已经走到了尽头。目前的情况已经完成了该过程。

经营世界的机构现在已被俘，只会按照其赞助者的要求行事。除了少数例外，我们都处于面包生产线上。如果我们能够意识到这需要的谦卑，并将其与成为我们自己的恩人的必要行动结合起来，我们不仅可以摆脱这种局面，还可以改变我们的世界。

一个非常有智慧的人，被称为耶稣的犹太犹太教教士，对我们来说就是一个视角。 ‘给，它将被送给您。向下按，摇动并跑过去的好措施将倒入您的腿上。对于您使用的度量，它会根据您的度量进行调整。’

我们必须彼此提供一种新手段，这一手段为我们地球上的每个人带来尊严和机会。不是几年，而是现在。金钱的价值取决于谁拥有它。如果您没有钱，钱就没有价值。

这不是招揽生意。这是在这个星球上每个人的相互尊重和尊严的基础上，我们之间建立新关系的呼吁。我指的是一种新型的货币。 e到x校准器。

e^xcalibrator1%solution is the currency in the Alternate Reality Game, La Disconquista.   Prices in e^xcalibrator1%solution reflect both the quantity of money and its rate of increase, the the state of growth and the rate of growth.  It is simultaneously discrete and continuous, a particle and a wave.

e^xcalibrator1%solution is based on e^x, the exponential function.  e^x is its own derivative, keeping the ratio of the quantity of money to the rate of growth of money constant.

La Disconquista increases the quantity of currency in e^xcalibrator1%solution at a rate of 1% per day.  Existing currency is diluted at a rate of 1% per day.  Existing money maintains 99% of share each day.

La Disconquista uses this newly created 1% of its currency to fund an equal payment to all its players, The Daily Bread.  The Daily Bread allows the general population to access the Network Effect of money.  The purchasing decisions made by peasants in spending their Daily Breads will dwarf in Value the achievements of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and the ghost of Steve Jobs combined.

Money is a Digital Computer designed to measure Value with precision.  La Disconquista invites the whole wide world to join us in constructing this computer.

The Misconceptions that hold us back.
We can communicate instantaneously and deliver anything anywhere in the world overnight. That begs the question. Why don’t we? What are the brain farts that hold us back from making the care and welfare of my little friend Yoanna as important as the rest of the world. Yoanna spends her days on the streets of San Miguel de Allende selling chicklets with her mother and brothers and sisters. Why doesn’t she have economic power? That is the question we must answer, and not in ten years. Today. Now. This is not an academic question. This is the question of the ages and it is urgent. This is an emergency.
1. Our world is built around the belief that people are naturally Lazy.
Many believe that aid to the poor must be severely restricted or nobody will work. The vision of bums hanging out on the porch all day drinking beer on the public dime is terrifying to them. They will do anything to make sure it doesn’t happen.
The reality is that most people are ambitious and will strive to improve their condition. We arrange our society, actually denying food and shelter to ourselves, rather than let someone have a free lunch. The true motivation lurking behind this destructive myth is that if the poor are not desperate they will be able to demand higher wages and better working conditions.
2. The poor are subjected to the selective moral restriction that getting something for nothing is a moral hazard.
This false premise begins with the idea that the major form of help or subsidy in society goes to the poor. The opposite is true. The majority of all rewards in a functioning society do not go to the poor and the majority of these rewards are of the “something for nothing” nature.
Classifying what is called “Welfare” as a moral hazard leads to programs that are targeted to those “in need”. Such benefits to the poor are then “cut off” at the first sign of any prosperity, “for their own good” of course. This forces the poor into a choice between a low paying job and their benefits. Often they end up making less money by working than they would by doing what they need to do to remain eligible for welfare. Other members of society who receive rewards for which they did absolutely nothing are not subject to the same “moral hazard” scrutiny.
Such attitudes and the programs they elicit make it almost certain that they do not work to pull people out of poverty. Welfare recipients are demonized and separated. Ethnic and racial stereotypes allow a political divide and conquer strategy.
Getting something for nothing is not a moral hazard it is the foundation of society. The sole problem with getting something for nothing is that some get more than others. The fix is to give everyone the same.
3. Many people never get past “I’m OK, it must be fair.”
Most people’s analysis of the economy never gets past the idea that the “system” works because it has rewarded them. It’s not the rich who are the main problem here. It is not the people who were born on third and thought they hit a triple that hold us back. They are few. Much more serious are the people who were born on second and thought they hit a double, or the people who were born on first and thought they hit a single. Or the largest group of all, those who truly believe that all they need is a chance to come up to bat.
It is not that individual effort is not important, it is, and it should be rewarded. It is simply the completely false notion that every successful individual is the one primarily responsible for that success. No successful individuals start from nothing; each and every one had help. Each and every successful individual in modern societies has “something for nothing” subsidies. All societies have massive subsidies at every level and they could not exist without them.
4. We believe as individuals and a society that we can make plans into the distant future, 60 to 70 years in the future.
People believe that they can plan individually for their later year without regard to what type of society and economic system that requires. This type of planning requires a money system in which money holds its purchasing power virtually forever. In fact “Sound Money” is defined as money that holds its purchasing power regardless of the type of economy it requires to bring this about.
This requires a political philosophy and organization that will keep the purchasing power of money as its overriding goal in monetary and economic policy. In reality such systems guarantee only one thing, that the wealthy and their hirelings will be in charge of everything. Long term commitments to any other group are only honored if they are in the interest of the wealthy and their hirelings.
What I mean by hirelings are the people the wealthy hire to take care of their money. The Wealthy have better things to do with their time. These people are Bankers and Stock Brokers. They have great power because they handle all the money. We have just witnessed a “banker and broker” rebellion in which the hirelings of the rich went over their bosses’ heads and stole everything that was not nailed down. Without permission they raised themselves to the financial level of their employers by expropriating the operating capital of planet earth and are in the process of destroying every pension plan in existence.
5. The poor are responsible for their situation
The belief is widely held that the poor could extricate themselves from their poverty with a good work ethic. The truth is that the poor work longer and harder than any other group. The principle difference between rich and poor is that the rich have money and the poor don’t.
Poverty serves two functions. The first is as a threat for those workers and politically active who do not toe the line. The second is having available a large group that can be exploited, especially sexually, because of their need for money. There are no other natural reasons for poverty.
6. It is almost universally held that Thrift is Good
The Jewish Rabbi known as Jesus clearly understood the false nature of accumulated wealth. Money is not a stored commodity comparable to the food that animals use to get them through the year. Money is stored obligation, stored power. This stored power and obligation eventually destroy every natural relation in a society.
7. I don’t owe any one any thing.                                                                                 This is a very true statement for everyone who was raised by wolves. If, however, you speak a language, you use electricity, have water to drink, and are not subject to rape, theft, and murder on a daily basis, you owe a great deal.
8. Money is just the way it is.                                                                                         Money has a storied and quite varied past. It has taken many forms for many purposes. The absurd notion that as a world we must choose between a completely corrupt and criminal central banking system and some loosely defined concept of “the gold standard” is the most absurd belief of all.
Money can make many forms and perform many functions. Money is what money says it is. We all need to learn to speak money, otherwise it will get lost in translation.
The Remedy
These attitudes leave us unable to comprehend that we are rich enough to be generous and poor enough to be in need of help. We are operating at less than 1% of 1% of our potential. That’s less than 1/10,000th of what we are capable. When we open our eyes and we see that the person in the bread line and the person in the penthouse suite are the same person we will move past this situation.
For a society to function and endure it must put the welfare of the least well off person on an equal footing with rewarding a job well done. A Universal, Unconditional Citizen’s Dividend does exactly that.

¿Qué nos detiene?
Publicado el 25 de junio de 2014
por worldmeetworld
Los conceptos erróneos que nos detienen.
Podemos comunicarnos instantáneamente y entregar cualquier cosa en cualquier parte del mundo durante la noche. Eso plantea la pregunta. ¿Por qué no nosotros? ¿Cuáles son los pedos cerebrales que nos impiden hacer que el cuidado y el bienestar de mi pequeña amiga Joanna sean tan importantes como el resto del mundo?Yoanna pasa sus días en las calles de San Miguel de Allende vendiendo chicklets con su madre y sus hermanos y hermanas. ¿Por qué no tiene poder económico? Esa es la pregunta que debemos responder, y no en diez años. Hoy. Ahora. Esta no es una pregunta académica. Esta es la pregunta de las edades y es urgente. Ésto es una emergencia.

1. Nuestro mundo se basa en la creencia de que las personas son naturalmente perezosas.Muchos creen que la ayuda a los pobres debe ser severamente restringida o nadie trabajará. La visión de los vagabundos que pasan el día en el porche bebiendo cerveza en el centavo público es aterradora para ellos. Harán cualquier cosa para asegurarse de que no suceda.La realidad es que la mayoría de las personas son ambiciosas y se esforzarán por mejorar su condición. Organizamos nuestra sociedad, de hecho negándonos comida y refugio a nosotros mismos, en lugar de dejar que alguien almuerce gratis. La verdadera motivación que acecha detrás de este mito destructivo es que si los pobres no están desesperados, podrán exigir

2. Los pobres están sujetos a la restricción moral selectiva de que obtener algo por nada es un riesgo moral.Esta premisa falsa comienza con la idea de que la forma principal de ayuda o subsidio en la sociedad se dirige a los pobres. El opuesto es verdad. La mayoría de todas las recompensas en una sociedad en funcionamiento no van a los pobres y la mayoría de estas recompensas son de naturaleza “algo por nada”.Clasificar lo que se llama “Bienestar” como un riesgo moral conduce a programas que están dirigidos a los “necesitados”. Tales beneficios para los pobres se “cortan” a la primera señal de prosperidad, “por su propio bien”, por supuesto. Esto obliga a los pobres a elegir entre un trabajo mal pagado y sus beneficios. A menudo terminan ganando menos dinero trabajando que haciendo lo que deben hacer para seguir siendo elegibles. Otros miembros de la sociedad que reciben recompensas por las cuales no hicieron absolutamente nada no están sujetos al mismo escrutinio de “riesgo moral”.Tales actitudes y los programas que generan hacen casi seguro que no trabajan para sacar a las personas de la pobreza. Los beneficiarios del bienestar son satanizados y separados. Los estereotipos étnicos y raciales permiten una división política y una estrategia de conquista.Obtener algo por nada no es un riesgo moral, es la base de la sociedad. El único problema para obtener algo por nada es que algunos obtienen más que otros. La solución es darles a todos lo mismo.

3. Muchas personas nunca pasan “Estoy bien, debe ser justo”.El análisis de la mayoría de las personas sobre la economía nunca supera la idea de que el “sistema” funciona porque los ha recompensado. No son los ricos quienes son el principal problema aquí. No son las personas que nacieron en tercer lugar y pensaron que alcanzaron un triple lo que nos detiene. Son pocos. Mucho más graves son las personas que nacieron en segundo lugar y pensaron que golpearon un doble, o las personas que nacieron en primer lugar y pensaron que golpearon un solo. O el grupo más grande de todos, aquellos que realmente creen que todo lo que necesitan es una oportunidad de venir a batear.No es que el esfuerzo individual no sea importante, lo es, y debe ser recompensado. Es simplemente la noción completamente falsa de que cada individuo exitoso es el principal responsable de ese éxito. Ningún individuo exitoso parte de la nada; Todos y cada uno tenían ayuda. Todos y cada uno de los individuos exitosos en las sociedades modernas tienen subsidios de “algo por nada”. Todas las sociedades tienen subsidios masivos en todos los niveles y no podrían existir sin ellos.

4. Creemos como individuos y como sociedad que podemos hacer planes en un futuro lejano, de 60 a 70 años en el futuro.Las personas creen que pueden planificar individualmente para su último año sin tener en cuenta qué tipo de sociedad y sistema económico requiere. Este tipo de planificación requiere un sistema monetario en el que el dinero mantenga su poder adquisitivo prácticamente para siempre. De hecho, el “dinero sólido” se define como el dinero que mantiene su poder adquisitivo independientemente del tipo de economía que requiere para lograrlo.Esto requiere una filosofía política y una organización que mantenga el poder adquisitivo del dinero como su objetivo principal en la política monetaria y económica. En realidad, tales sistemas garantizan solo una cosa, que los ricos y sus asalariados estarán a cargo de todo.Los compromisos a largo plazo con cualquier otro grupo solo se cumplen si están en el interés de los ricos y sus asalariados.Lo que quiero decir con asalariados es la gente que los ricos contratan para cuidar su dinero. Los ricos tienen mejores cosas que hacer con su tiempo. Estas personas son banqueros y corredores de bolsa. Tienen un gran poder porque manejan todo el dinero. Acabamos de presenciar una rebelión de “banquero e intermediario” en la que los asalariados de los ricos pasaron por alto la cabeza de sus jefes y robaron todo lo que no fue clavado. Sin permiso, se elevaron al nivel financiero de sus empleadores expropiando el capital operativo del planeta tierra y están en el proceso de destruir todos los planes de pensiones existentes.

5. Los pobres son responsables de su situación.La creencia generalizada es que los pobres podrían salir de su pobreza con una buena ética de trabajo. La verdad es que los pobres trabajan más y más duro que cualquier otro grupo. La principal diferencia entre ricos y pobres es que los ricos tienen dinero y los pobres no.

La pobreza cumple dos funciones. El primero es como una amenaza para aquellos trabajadores y políticamente activos que no siguen la línea. El segundo es tener disponible un gran grupo que puede ser explotado, especialmente sexualmente, debido a su necesidad de dinero. No hay otras razones naturales para la pobreza.

6. Se considera casi universalmente que Thrift is GoodEl rabino judío conocido como Jesús entendió claramente la naturaleza falsa de la riqueza acumulada. El dinero no es una mercancía almacenada comparable a la comida que usan los animales para pasar el año. El dinero es obligación almacenada, poder almacenado. Este poder y obligación almacenados eventualmente destruyen todas las relaciones naturales en una sociedad.

7. No le debo nada a nadie.

Esta es una declaración muy cierta para todos los que fueron criados por lobos. Sin embargo, si habla un idioma, usa electricidad, bebe agua y no está sujeto a violación, robo ni asesinato a diario, debe mucho.8. El dinero es tal como es. El dinero tiene un pasado histórico y bastante variado. Ha tomado muchas formas para muchos propósitos. La noción absurda de que, como mundo, debemos elegir entre un sistema de banca central completamente corrupto y criminal y un concepto poco definido del “patrón oro” es la creencia más absurda de todas.El dinero puede hacer muchas formas y realizar muchas funciones. El dinero es lo que el dinero dice que es. Todos necesitamos aprender a hablar dinero, de lo contrario se perderá en la traducción.

El remedioEstas actitudes nos dejan incapaces de comprender que somos lo suficientemente ricos como para ser generosos y lo suficientemente pobres como para necesitar ayuda. Estamos operando a menos del 1% del 1% de nuestro potencial. Eso es menos de 1 / 10,000 de lo que somos capaces. Cuando abrimos los ojos y vemos que la persona en la línea del pan y la persona en la suite del ático son la misma persona, pasaremos esta situación.Para que una sociedad funcione y aguante debe poner el bienestar de la persona menos favorecida en igualdad de condiciones con la recompensa de un trabajo bien hecho. Un dividendo ciudadano universal e incondicional hace exactamente eso.

Compound Disinterest

Money acts as the life’s blood of the economy.  It flows, surrounds, and defines the market.  When Money is working well it does the one thing that it does better than anything else, reward quality and a job well done.  But rewarding the talented and diligent only increases their advantage.  If left to its own devices money concentrates.  Money feeds back on itself.  Money makes money more powerful.  The process becomes most pronounced when the monetary system is completely dominated by those with an abundance of money.  Money becomes the tail that wags the dog.  The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, until the process finishes with a very few having all the money.  It has been the same in all money economies for thousands of years.

Concentrated money stops being a neutral medium of exchange.  The Free Market stops working.  For the Free Market to work money must be neutral.  Neutral money is disinterested and Indifferent.  Disinterested money does not have a stake in the outcome of any transaction.  Disinterested money does not seek an outcome that is best for money.  Indifferent money is no respecter of persons, it treats every one exactly the same.  Indifferent money has the same set of rules for rich and poor.

The combination of money and talent alone are enough to drive money into the hands of the few but once money gets started there is another power which doesn’t even need talent.  Money has interest.  Interest is a type of rent that one person pays another for the use of their money.  The person renting out their money for interest does not need any talent or skill and it doesn’t matter how they got the money, they can loan their money and collect interest.  Interest allows people who have money to maintain a powerful position in the economy by renting out their money.

There is simple interest and there is compound interest.  Simple interest involves a flat payment on an amount of money for a period of time.  Compound interest involves collecting the interest at certain points in the life of the loan and then collecting interest on that collected interest as well.  Money grows and grows and eventually the renting out of money overcomes all other activities.  Money becomes concentrated and most of the people of the world become servants.

Concentrated money raises social and political opposition.  These reactions to the concentration of money quite often turn into violent and bloody revolutions.  Sometimes the revolutionaries are pushed back and an official oligarchy, a rule by money is imposed.  Some revolutions sweep money away.  Oft times dictatorships based on race or ethnic identity follow.  Some try to establish and maintain money equality.

The problem with money equality is that money loses its ability to reward diligence, creativity, perseverance, and attention to detail.  Without this capacity to reward, money becomes meaningless.  Equal money can divide up a pie fairly, but it can do nothing to make sure that that pie is delicious or big enough for everyone.  When equality is enforced bureaucrats take on more and more power.  Political opposition develops.  People want the freedom to trade with whomever they want and they eventually get it.  This opens the road back to concentration and once entered it is relentless and seemingly inevitable.

The tool of money is volatile.  It keeps smashing us on the rocks.  The human drive for freedom meets the human drive for equality in what seems like a fight to the death with no end in sight.  There must be a way to make money neutral without making it equal.  There must be a way to allow money to reward a good job without it ending up in the hands of a few.

Casino Fortunatus

The 1% Solution

The 1% Solution is a self-organizing system of Gambling Chips.  The goal of The 1% Solution is to keep the chips a Neutral Part of the Game and to keep everybody in the game Forever.   The 1% Solution will be Casino Fortunatus’s method of making sure the House always wins.  The difference at Casino Fortunatus is that you are the House.

The 1% Solution Chips will be a type of money.  Money occupies a rare space somewhere between the forces of growth and decay.  Each of these forces generates tremendous energy, enough energy to power money.  Existing or proposed moneys choose one or the other.  The 1% Solution chooses both.  Completely.  Separately.  Simultaneously.

The scientific and mathematical worlds owe a great debt for the knowledge of how things build up and how things break down to the process of compound interest.  Swiss Mathematician Jacob Bernoulli gladly borrowed this knowledge 300 years ago and it has paid great dividends ever since.  Sea shells, hurricanes, molecules, galaxies all follow the same pattern Bernoulli found in compound interest.  The debt is now come due and this special knowledge of growth and decay will create a whole new power in money, Compound Disinterest.

  Nautilus: Chips That Grow

Nautilus Chips are named for the Nautilus Shell.  The Nautilus Shell has the property of being able to grow larger and still keep its shape.  The Nautilus Chip system has two parts, an Equal Stake and a daily dividend called the Daily Bread (DB).   For those players starting on the first day Casino Fortunatus will create and distribute 100 chips per player.

Once received these chips are the property of the players to use as they see fit.  They can spend them or gamble with them or give them away.  After the first day the Stake will no longer be equal.  Some people will have more chips than others due to their activities of selling things or working for chips.  Some people will spend some of their chips and others all of their chips and have none left.  This is no different than the way things are now.

On the second day Casino Fortunatus will create a number of chips equal to 1% of the existing chips and divide them equally between the players.  This is the Daily Bread, an equal share of 1% of the existing chips paid to each player each day.  Receiving an unconditional daily dividend is different than the way things are now.  Everyone will have at least some chips every day.

The first Daily Bread will be 1% of the 100 Chip Equal Stake, so it will be 1 chip.  The number of chips per player has now grown to 101 chips. The Daily Bread (DB) on the next day will be 1% of 101 chips.  The DB is 1.01 Chips.  This brings the number of chips per player up to 102.01 chips.  The 1% increase is taken on the new total number of chips.  The total number of chips grows at 1% per day which makes the Daily Bread grow at the rate of 1% per day.  This is called Compounding.  This keeps the Daily Bread and the Total number of Nautilus Chips in a constant ratio of 1/100.  The total amount of Nautilus Chips is always 100 x Daily Bread.  Daily Bread is always 1/100 of the total number of Nautilus Chips.

At the end of a week the Average Stake has grown to a little over 107.2 chips and the DB to 1.07.  At the end of a month the Average Stake is almost 135 and the DB is 1.35.  Around the 70^th day the Average Stake is up to 200 and the DB is 2 chips, 1% of the average stake.  This is the Doubling period.  Everything doubles about every 70 days.

The 1% Solution is Compound Disinterest because the Daily Bread dividend is completely disinterested in who gets it.  Everyone gets the Daily Bread with only one condition, you only get one.

Players who enter after the game has already begun will be given the Average Stake.  The Average Stake is always 100 x Daily Bread on that day.  If they come in on the 70^th day their stake will be 200 chips.  Everybody starts in the middle.  The number of Nautilus Chips will have grown to 400 chips per player on the 140^th day and the dividend will have grown to 4 chips per day.  Players entering on the 140^th day will receive a stake of 400 chips.

The Daily Bread process dilutes the existing Nautilus Chips.  That dilution is compensated for by receiving the new chips.  The dilution falls heaviest on those people with the most chips.  It is exactly compensates those in the average position.  The new chips are the most benefit to those with less than average numbers of chips.

If you have spent chips and stop spending them you be nudged back toward average.  If you have earned chips and stop earning you will be nudged back toward average.  If you spend half your Daily Bread every day your account will stay at half of average.

Nautilus is a beautiful system.  Whether this is sufficient to counter the weight of money’s power to feed-back upon itself can only be answered by trying it.

Ouroboros: Giving Money a Half Life

Ouroboros, the Snake that eats its own tail, will harness Decay.  Each player will receive an equal stake of 100 chips when they enter the game, whether they enter early or later on.  There are always 100 chips times the number of players in the Ouroboros system.

Once received these chips are the property of the players to use as they see fit.  They can spend them or gamble with them or give them away.  After the first day the Stake will no longer be equal.  Some people will have more chips than others due to their activities of selling things or working for chips.  Some people will spend some of their chips and others all of their chips and have none left.  This is no different than the way things are now.

All of the chips in the Ouroboros System will be skimmed at the rate of 1% per day.  This causes each account to shrink at the rate of 1% per day.  The proceeds from the skim are returned to the players as an equal dividend each day.  This dividend, the Daily Bread (DB), will always be exactly 1 chip (1% of 100).  Receiving a steady dividend every day is very different from the way things are now.

If one spends their Daily Bread dividend every day then that person’s account will begin to shrink.  The first day this will be 1 Ouroboros Chip, 1% of 100.  This will leave only 99 Ouroboros Chips on the next day.  Taking 1% of 99 is only 0.99 Ouroboros Chips which leaves 98.01 chips.  The next day the account will only shrink by 0.98 Ouroboros Chips leaving 97.03.  It will take a little less because each day you are taking 1% of a shrinking amount.  It will continue to diminish each day thereafter.  On the 70^th day there will be 50 chips of the original stake left.  70 days is the Half-Life of Ouroboros Chips.  This is inverse compounding.  .

In addition to the 50 chips you have left from the Original Stake at the end of 70 days you will have received 70 chips worth of Daily Breads.  But you will not have 120 chips; you will have exactly 100 chips.  Each of the chips you have received in those 70 days has also been skimmed at the rate of 1% per day.  Those received early on will have lost almost half and those later on will have lost very little. These constantly sinking 70 chips and the 50 left from the original stake will add up to exactly 100.

Idle accounts will be skimmed one chip a day and will receive one chip a day.

The 1% skim is a flat proportional tax on all chips.  Those with fewer chips in their accounts will pay less.  Those with more chips in their accounts will pay more.  Ouroboros is indifferent.  The Daily Bread will remain equal no matter how many chips you have.  Ouroboros has no interest in who receives the Daily Bread.  The rich will get an equal share.  The lazy will get an equal share.  Children will get an equal share.  Plumbers will get an equal share.  Bums will get an equal share.  The infirm will get an equal share.

Ouroboros is Compound Disinterest.

Moneteer- A Pioneer in creating a monetary system through knowledge and mutual effort.

Most of the decisions about your life are being made outside the political system in which you participate.  These decisions have to do with the design and operation of the money that you use.  This state of affairs will continue until you take the trouble to be informed not only about the system under which you live but of the historical and proposed options that exist for money.  The ability of the financial elites of the world to loot with impunity is dependent on an ignorant and complacent public.  Do not let this state of affairs continue.

Do not blindly take up the first new ideology that comes your way but become aware of what is being done today, what has been done in the past, and of all proposed solutions in the realm of money.  Become a Moneteer.  A Moneteer is a person who has made the conscious decision to make oneself knowledgeable about money and to become an active co-creator in the money system in which one lives.

There will be those who say these efforts are foolish and naïve, but the exact opposite is true.  The one truth that strikes fear in the hearts of those who operate the money system is that it is the combined actions of the regular Mary and Joe’s of the world that give money its power.  Once this becomes clear and money is forced to give a strict accounting, the Con-Artists who depend on an ignorant public will lose their power.

If this sounds a bit like the Wizard of OZ, challenging a power that operates behind a curtain, then you are perceptive.  The author of the Wizard of OZ was L. Frank Baum, who was a follower of 19^th century economic reformer Henry George.  During the last part of the 19^th century George’s book, Progress and Poverty, was the number one seller in the United States.

Sylvio Gesell, Argentian/German businessman invented a type of money, Stamp Scrip, that was designed specifically for the situation in which the world finds itself today.  U.S. Senator John Bankhead proposed it for America during the Depression.

Being a Moneteer does not mean that you should blindly follow these or any other reformers but that you should at least know who they are and what they had to say.  Blindly following and blindly rejecting any ideology is used by those who would control the weak and ignorant.

Nobel Prize winning French Economist Maurice Allais has stated that there is no difference between the modern world of finance and the practice of counterfeit.  If a counterfeit gang had taken over your town or country wouldn’t you look into it?  How about if one took over the entire world?

Everybody Knows.  Leonard Cohen has stated clearly the truth of the modern world.  Everybody Knows that the game is rigged, that the notion of “free market” is a hollow, cynical assertion.  The world is being pushed into a crisis of deprivation because a set of numbers tells us that there is no alternative.  This set of numbers are what the world calls Money.  There are other sets of numbers, there are other Money’s.

Be a Moneteer.  Moneteering will involve the investigation of every money system that has ever been proposed.  It will involve setting up public experiments with these Money’s and the reporting of how each works.  Do not be a patsy.  You and your neighbors can make your own money system from a position of knowledge.  In money, knowledge is power.  Be Knowledgeable.  Be Powerful.

Study all of these and use the knowledge you attain to add to the list.  Encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.   Then you will be a  Moneteer.

Economics has been limited to the study of the effects of money on people.  Isn’t it about time that we began to investigate the effect of people on money?

1. The Butterfly and the Sledge Hammer

“Do what you love.”  It has rolled off my tongue more than once.  It is the truism of the age of the “Creative Class”, another flippancy that has echoed in my own voice.  While I was not born to the silver spoon, I was born into a comfortable existence in perhaps the most egalitarian and free society the world has ever produced, 1950s and 1960s California.  I was encouraged to not only dream, but to dream large.  And I did.

The world was an oyster for an entire generation and I thought, by extension, an entire country and world.  I almost could not fail.  The world has been kind and mainly gentle with me.  I lived in the world of the Butterfly.  Butterflies are one of nature’s beautiful and delicate creatures.  That butterfly society has transformed our world.  Movies, music, computers, and now the social media have brought us into close approximation to each other.  But the butterfly has not floated through our existence alone.  It has had a companion, the sledge hammer.

The sledge hammer is as cruel a task master as the world has ever seen.  Grinding and unforgiving poverty has left much of humanity in such a precarious position that should the world “market” cease to function for even a short time their very lives would be in jeopardy.

There are those that believe and even argue that the Butterfly cannot exist without the Sledge Hammer as the enforcer, the police of the privileged enclosures necessary to the Butterfly.  The Butterfly creates our modern world from a hot house that must be ruthlessly exclusive.  The power of money backs this belief with an array of tools that have conquered the world and guard that conquest jealously with a brute force that brooks no dissent.

Money has replaced almost all other forms of human social arrangement.  Liberty and democracy have succumbed to its insidious influence and power.  How did this happen and is it irreversible?

The Butterfly and the Sledge hammer have been the twin pillars of support for a “summer camp” that had ambitions to be a “Science”.  Economics fiddles while the world burns and it is little more than sport or a career.  Money is the power behind the throne for both the Butterfly and the Sledge Hammer.  The rich life of the Butterfly Economy permits the time and space to ponder itself.  Such possibilities and potential.  The Sledge Hammer Economy breads pathologies of all types, pitting the poor dregs to fight over scraps and plot the overthrow of the system even as they seek their own escape.

From tea at 4:00 p.m. on the veranda to mining garbage in Brazil all day long, it’s all the same world.  The fickle world of the Butterfly and the Sledge Hammer can take you from one end to the other in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.

Land, Labor, Capital, and Desperation

“The Economy thrives on incentives (if you work, we’ll give you money) and desperation (if you want money, you have to work) and Social Security is a double-wammy, reducing the incentives of workers and reducing the desperation of the elderly.” Matthew Yglesias

Matthew Yglesias likes his grandparents the old fashioned way, hungry and “desperate”.  Well he doesn’t necessarily want it himself, but he can understand why the “Important People” of the world would want it.  Mr. Yglesias has done the world a great favor.  The ignorance involved in such a statement is so complete that I hope there is a portion of Jonathon Swift in his musings, but I fear not.  And even if they are not the sincere beliefs of Matthew Yglesias, they are beliefs that are held by many and they poison the discussion over the economy and how it works.

Perhaps the greatest error in modern economic “wisdom” is that a structure of incentives has anything in common with the desperation of poverty.  Yglesias claims that making the elderly desperate enough to keep working will make the economy thrive.

The crux of his thesis is concentrated in the statement “if you work we’ll give you money”.  Mr. Iglesias’s use of the royal We determines the source of incentives, and it is not the function of the market, it is the ownership thereof.  That tells almost all there is to tell about this argument, but he goes further.  “If you want money, you have to work”.  I wonder if anyone has informed Tagg Romney, or for that matter Barack Obama, or the incredibly busy Mr. Yglesias.

Mr. Yglesias does not stop with the royal We, he speaks for the disembodied entity that he calls “The Economy”.  He goes so far as to tell us what “The Economy” wants.  “The Economy” has a real hankering for things which he can classify as investments.  “The Economy” wants to prepare itself for the future and any spending which prepares for this future is good.  And letting a bunch of old people sit around does not prepare us for the future.  That spending is best left to the “productive” people of society.  “The Economy” likes those people because they get us ready for the future.  Every dime Tagg Romney spends is an investment according to Mr. Yglesias.

If his tongue was not in his cheek Mr. Yglesias is on the same page as Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama and all the other Important People of the world.  While Mr. Obama may, and this is highly doubtful at this point, support slightly higher transfer payments to America’s seniors, it is his “stewardship” and “nobles oblige” that spur his actions.  Nowhere in main stream American thought is the belief that seniors, or for that matter juniors, receive money from the public purse as a matter of property right and not deference.

The payment of public money to old and young is in no way contrary to a system of incentives that rewards diligence, hard word, and creativity.  Quite the contrary, a society which cares for its old and young is one that fosters the type of society that is efficient and productive and competitive.  “The Economy” does not reward hard work and punish sloth.  “The Economy” rewards power, influence, and ownership.  The major portion of the produce of our economy goes to Crooked Bankers, the Saudi Royal Family and their junior partners in Texas, the Rigged Casino known as Wall Street, the Communist Party of China, a Courtier Press, and a Political Class that is as corrupt as the world has ever seen.  This might make it seem that we need to foster desperation, but the opposite is true.  The only thing that desperation produces in the economy is more desperation, and the owners of the world count on it.

There might be some people in this modern world who could use a dose of desperation Mr. Yglesias, but you should let your grandparents have enough money to give a cookie to your cousins once in a while.  Who knows, you might even get one.  If you’re not too worried it will corrupt you.
