I’ve been drifting in and out of Peter Joseph’s work ever since I first saw The Zeitgeist Movement documentary, and around the same time I discovered the Venus Project and the wild‑genius ideas of Buckminster Fuller. Those visions of a resource‑based, collaborative future stuck with me, and they keep feeling as urgent today as they did back then.

Episode 56 “The Capitalist Roots of War” dives deep into why the current market‑driven system breeds conflict, inequality, and environmental collapse, and it sketches how a community‑built, post‑scarcity economy could start to replace it.

If you care about these issues, give the episode a listen (or skim the transcript). Have a nice long walk or the treadmill and let the conversation spark some fresh thinking. 🖖

Peter Joseph's definition of capitalism: "the evolving, institutional manifestation of market economics, using a medium of exchange (money and price), endogenously leading to private ownership of production means; profit-seeking through required competition, expressing a condition and social relations rooted and dominance hierarchy and a positive (reinforcing) feedback loop requiring infinite resource consumption."

foundational critiques of the socio-economic system, highlighting how market capitalism's competitive nature drives ecological destruction, inequality, and systemic dysfunction, with Peter Joseph…

@interstellar_wind I've heard about planned obsolescence since 2008 or so via #ZeitgeistMovement, from #PeterJoseph media I believe.

I would reinterpret it as this: we live in #government mandated #fiat money world, where easily inflated money reduces motivations to save, and increases to spend, i.e. motivating high time preference. But that's whole #Bitcoin rabbit hole you can dive via Fiat Standard and Bitcoin Standard books.

In Gold Standard people built building to last, as example...

Just a reminder as to the reason for price increases ("inflation") and the Fed's interest rate increases.

It's all about the Aristocracy trying to put the working class back in their places, under their boot.

The people (the workers) began to rebel after the pandemic broke out:

- Early retirement
- Quiet quitting
- Working from home (and refusing to come back to the office)
- Striking
- Organizing Unions
- Demanding better pay and benefits

The result?

The ruling Aristocracy has ordered PAIN for the people. This is being accomplished by:

- Raising prices ("inflation", at a time of record corporate profits)
- Raising interest rates (higher costs to borrow)
- Sabotaging the economy and laying off workers

Media Prescribe More 'Pain' for Workers as Inflation's Only Cure

More evidence of the top 1%, the Aristocracy, is punishing the working class for revolting against Crapitalism.

So what's the point of this tweet? Firstly, informational, but second, and hopefully will come from the spreading of this information, the people need to revolt.

#OccupyWallSteet actually scared those in power, which is why the wealthy have been pouring billions into moving towards Authoritarianism. We need another mass civil disobedience movement like that but going further to include #GeneralStrike (s), sit-in's, leafleting, talking to our neighbors and just random people on the street, creating #DirectDemocracy at the local, then state, then federal level, seizing the means of production from the wealthy few and converting the economic system into one of gifting and sharing instead of trading which is what got us to this point.

Basically, we need to start thinking #rEvolution.

I'm linking past tweets below for reference purposes and questions, but also check out #TheVenusProject, #TheZeitgeistMovement (#PeterJoseph and his wonderful book and films) and my blog (see my profile) on direct Democracy, gift economy and free thought for more.

The most believable conspiracy theorist, Peter Joseph, talking about systemic change.
In fact I don't hear a single lie.
