Money Must Die
The Parable of Time.
Once upon a money there was a world where time had been appropriated as a cultural confabulation and a certain section of the society there had made it a rule that everybody had to pay them for every second of every day because time had been conceived of and computed by them and there for they owned the time.
This may seem astounding to us here in our rational monetary society but in this society there had been no conception of or accounting of time and they had a very egalitarian system of transacting business and trade for thousands of years and then in one century some scientists came up with the notion of living beings being stuck in time.
So they invented little machines called time pieces and convinced people that they needed to have this time thing and that they had to pay for it with time. This society never invented money as it was an egalitarian libertarian place up till the invention of time.
For the service of time keeping all one had to do originally was to sign a contract that one would come and contribute a small amount of time to the timekeepers. Somehow over the centuries this evolved gradually to where the elite timekeepers had everyone giving over 10% then 20% then 30% of their time for the service of timekeeping and all sorts of institutions arose to keep track of time and how much all your free time was worth and how much time you had to contribute to the time keepers for that time. Until today when we come upon this society in collapse and saw them all befuddled and no one could manage to have enough time left over after they used their time for what they needed they would not have enough time left over for the timekeepers and thus the timekeepers would have to come round and take away the possessions of the time cheaters and make rules penalizing them and kicking them out of the time system. The various nations of this world broke up into warring factions and started trading time in all sorts of creative and amazing ways and were constantly at war over who owed who how much time.
Then someone came up with an amazing solution: What if we just used clocks for free and everyone used time universally as a tool granted by the creator??? We don’t need timekeepers and to keep track of how much time is owed and how much time is taxed all we need is a universal agreement that time is free and we can all use it.
This guy was promptly declared a heretic and crucified and the civilization went on to have wars and destroyed its planet as we can see on the transmissions we received recently from their planet.
Silly eh?
Once upon a time there was a world where people traded stuff amongst themselves and one day one of them thought hey folks, why don’t we make these metal things into symbols of our stuff and trade these instead of trying to figure out how many eggs equal so many apples or so many boards. Then some few started being more clever than others and they piled up big mounds of these metal symbols, these ones got more and more powerful and eventually became a ruling class, then some ne thought hey why not put these symbols in a safe place called a bank, and soon some few humans ended up symbolically and culturally owning everything and the rest of us own nothing, and culturally are nothing, and on until now even the ruling classes and the nation states are ensnared in a system where they themselves are enslaved to some bizarre system where they don’t even own themselves anymore . All are enslaved to the machines of money and interest and inflation and none can see then master.
Pretty Damn Silly.

Solutions: Electric Transmission Right of Ways
So lovely. And there is at least 30,000 miles of these in the USA alone.
m
Lets do some math.
30,000 miles of electric towers. One tower every 500 feet maybe?
While we convert to the new smart grid why not get really smart.
Thats on the order of 300,000 or more towers. So why not make the towers where ever the wind blows into wind turbine towers over the lines? Hey if 25% of them are in good spots that is 75,000 wind turbines. If these were modest 1 megawatt turbines they would generate 75,000 megawatts, or enough electricity to power up 75 million homes. Potentially replacing fifteen Five Gigawatt nuclear plants. Of course wind turbines can now be built up to 5 megawatt capacity meaning potentially with 75,000 turbines spread geographically all over the country a lot of them would be spinning and producing electricity at any given time.
While we are at it why not also have a wall of Photovoltaice down the right of way wherever the sun shines nicely, a wall that would be about four or five panels high running for 30,000 miles, now that is one hell of a lot of electricity on top of 75,000 wind turbines, and how nice the utility lines run right to where the electricity is needed. What are we stupid??? 10,560 Pv panels per mile, lets say we can use 10,000 miles of utility right of way, that is 105 million solar panels at perhaps 500 watts per panel??? We are talking like replacing ten 5 gigawatt nuke plants at this rate. And the biggest hazard of this scheme? We would have a lot of photovoltaic panels to recycle into new panels in about 25 years.
Now most of those utility line right of ways are 200-300 foot wide swaths cut right through just about everything. Perhaps 3/4 of the distance is over low density rural and out of city lands so why not take stretches of the right of way and grade it out nicely and grow corn or switch grass on that and harvest it to make bio fuels? How many acres in 22,500 mile strip of land an acre wide??? About 600,000 acres, now that is a lot of biofuel.
The electric transmission utility right of ways are already ugly smears on the landscape and it should not bother anyone much to add in the Photvoltaic wall and the turbines and to grow crops all along the corridor.
mLets do some math.

Solutions : Distributed Electric vs Nukes or Coal
This could be the roof of every Home Depot, Wall Mart, Safeway, Mall, Warehouse, etc. there are tens of thousands of such buildings and if most had Photovoltaic roofs this would mean no more need for any more coal or nuclear or natural gas plants.
cRoof Over a Promenade? or Parking? Or over a Bike Commute Lane?
cYour House, a distributed electric power plant earning you income? Here now , today.
This should be building code! Would you live in a tarpaper shack or a mud hut? After all why should we have electric or plumbing or insulation or window standards? These just add cost and no value.
Solutions :Geothermal Heat VS Natural Gas Fracturing
Drilling for Heat Pumps instead of Drilling for Natural Gas
At this time huge areas of the United States are being destroyed in order to get natural gas out of the ground with a process where they drill holes in the ground, a lot of holes and inject batches of toxic chemicals down the hole and then explode the stuff. This fractures up the underlying rocks usually shale of some sort and then the natural gas in the vicinity can be sucked out of the ground. I have seen pictures of these fields in Montana on the Rocky Mountain front from the air and it is almost unbelievable, miles and miles and miles of hilly prairie lands first covered with roads snaking every which way and then big bulldozed areas with wells almost every 500 or 1000 feet in a grid and next to each well a bunch of small utility building and usually a dug out retention pond for the toxic liquids, and all these wells are then attached to pipelines that form a pipeline spider web across the landscape. It is unbelievable that anyone in their right mind would conceive of such a way to get some gas out of the ground and unbelievable that all these wells could be built, roads put in and pipelines laid could be put in and actually have any return to anyone unless heavilly subsidized, which of course they are as the companies are not paying the real cost now or in the long term for all the damages they are doing.
This Natural Gas Fracking craze is the latest stumble in our societies addiction to oil. We are going in to the late stages and demanding our drug of choice be delivered no matter what the price or the consequence.
In our stupidity we are destroying huge swaths of our country and destroying the water tables for gas mostly to heat homes which are built to really low standards and mostly just radiate all the heat energy to the outside air. A great thing if you are a gas utility that wants to sell lots of Gas at high prices to people who don't know any better.
But we know better.
We could have a building code that requires all heated buildings to be designed and insulated to use 75-90% less energy to heat. This is a technology and know how that we have right now this very minute.
We could have a program to bring all existing buildings up to the same standard over the next ten years. This is a technology that we have right now his very minute.
As for all those drilling companies we also have a technology that could then take the buildings which would be 75% more energy efficient and make those 80% more efficient. It is called the geo thermal heat pump. That means right now today all bull shit from politicians and the energy industry pushed in the shit can, we can have buildings that use 90%-95% less energy! Really, truely, and with technology that is 1000's of years old. So when some sleaze bag from Exxon Mobil or some Right Wing Think Tank policy Wonk gets on the soap box and pours fourth the pablum that we must invest billions and billions in research and development for decades and decades before we can think about getting off the oil and gas it is pure 100% nonsense.
We could make it the building code that all buildings where it is possible have geothermal heat pumps. Look out your window, is there ground out there? Yes? Well OK, you could park one of those natural gas drilling rigs on that ground and drill a hole 100-400 feet deep and insert pipes in that hole and connect those to a box about the size of a refrigerator next to your house and it would heat your house for about 20% of what your current heat system does. This is technology we have right now this very minute. This could be applied to about 80% of all heated buildings in the entire country. Maybe more if engineers could figure out how to put in a lot of deep holes under major cities.
We use I believe about 30% of our energy to heat buildings. If that were cut 80% then we could grow our economy for another 50-100 years and have energy use go down.
The solution of drilling for heat pumps instead of drilling for natural gas.
And by the way heat pumps work in reverse so they also cool homes and buildings 80% more efficiently than conventional cooling systems and with the same equipment.
Then at some point in the future after we have efficiently designed buildings and heating systems and homes we can work on ways to get new high tech energy resources to provide for sensible use of , but in fact we could double the US population and have energy use go down for the next 50 years.
Why do we not do this? Because gas and oil and electric utilities are huge capital intensive corporations which make a lot of money and pay a lot of dividends and the idea of a half century of declining returns scares the hell out of them and their bought off employees in Congress and the Senate.

The Allegory of The Cave
The Allegory of ???? Money
Remember this one from Philosophy? This is the key to breaking out of the trap what it is generally bull shitted to refer to by highly educated philosophers and sociologists.
It goes sort of like this in the traditional Allegory of the Cave:
A bunch of slaves are chained to a wall in a cave facing the dark back wall, and have been so chained all their lives in the dark, while up above behind them is a fire in front of which some demented socio-psycho-philosopher is putting on puppet shows and placing objects in front of the fire. The reality of those chained to the wall is that the shadows are reality, a book is not a book, but the shadow, and on and on thus that all things they experience are not the things themselves.
Now the general leap to conclusion is that this was Plato showing the wise that they thusly cannot know anything as all experience in the human consciousness is a reflection of the real world and thus we actually know nothing of the real world, all that we see hear and feel is just a representation.
What I say is Bull Shit.
The Allegory of the Cave is the lesson taught to and for the Rich and Powerful. The lesson is that in order to maintain power the ruling class must keep the majority, and especially the philosophers and the educated and the professionals and the managers chained to that wall enthralled by the shadows cast by a powerful all encompassing set of premises and social constructions which keep them chained to the wall and blinded to all other possibilities.
Money = Real things. Religion = Off world God. Accumulation of Wealth in Symbolic Accounting Systems = The Only Way to Have Human Relations. War = a necessary Evil. Social Systems take Centuries or Millenia to Change. The Natural World is here For us to Exploit and Convert to whatever at the moment makes a quick symbolic profit.
So that’s it folks. The chains are deeply embedded and run back thousands of years to when your ancestors were enslaved, made to be indentured warriors or servants and denied of all any rights for centuries while being beaten down by the shadows cast by religion and feudal governments and then by enlightenment science and technology and now by a global fascism of war and corporate dominance.
The Green Phoenix Allegory of Money.
You are chained to your cultural epoch, the chains are invisible yet they bind you tightly to illusions cast brightly by religion and education and the certain and swiftly painful yanking back into darkness that accompanies any turn towards the light. The shadows dance and frolic all the time cajoling and enticing you towards a dream. All real things are converted to symbols, all life to death, peace to war, and freedom is crunched into what is called free market and democracy and rewards for the competitive. You jerk on the chains from time to time and the result is dismissal, jail, bankruptcy, ridicule for not playing the game, they come and take away your possessions, you say I am free I do not want to pay taxes, I do not believe the government has rights to my land, I want to build a house as I see fit not to some code, I think animals or fish or birds or plants have rights, they jerk your chain tight and call you a lunatic, as no free rational person could have such notions of freedom and life, look back in to the brightly cast shadows and be a true believer or suffer the consequence. You say no, War is wrong, and they say you are a crazed unpatriotic weakling who must be shunned, you say using up all of nature for short term profit is absurd and they say you are deranged and cannot comprehend the all encompassing way of the universe and that you must participate or be confined. You go out and search for things that do not exist as they cannot exist in a shadow world in the shadow world real things are not possible. Every thing in the shadows is converted from reality to symbolism, every human action is reduced to a monetary transaction, every good is converted to evil, and all sustenance is turned against its nature and made into a shadow in the books of accountants and the essence stolen away by men and woman who thrive on the consumption of the soul of the word and the universe.
The shadow of the converted reality goes hand to hand, credit card to electronic transfer, consumer to producer, person to person, all blind and alienated from reality, trading and bartering in absurd reductionistic conversion of reality and life to death in the shadow of money. War money, Food money, housing money, fish money, dog money, children money, health service money, tree money, wood money, dirt money, nuclear bomb money, stock money, wife money, death money, bread money, cheap useless crappy products money, quality money, book money, idea money, law money, sewage money, taxes money, clothing money, accounting for money money, fun money, addicition money, air money, water money, heat money, sex money, entertainment money, death money, liberation money, freedom money, slavery money. The shadow is deep and dark and all encompassing. And in it you scramble and writhe in agony and reach for ever more possibility of of…. Money.
And you cannot even see it, you cannot like a fish in water you cannot see it, the chains are invisible currents running so deep and embedded in a million channels within the shadows reaching into the far past and entangled in every religious and economic institution such that you are bound tight by the strands and kept enslaved by the nurturance and sustenance almost completely. You become befuddled and confused when you are for a moment undistracted from the roaring blaze stoking the fire that casts the shadow. The halo of liberation appears and it so contradicts your reality in every way that you are shocked and afraid to even look upon it as possible. For a moment perhaps you see a glimmer of something, a loosening of the chains, for a little bit you see a hope, a better way, some movement, or some small thing that opposes the darkness, but then are gripped in thrall again, a stock report, a tug from the chains of academia, another study some more polls, another extinction banally reported as infotainment, the history channel, green planet, NPR regaling you with martial music and important sounding announcers lulling you back into submission and surrender, after all we in the rich world have it so swell just add some more to that 501-K plan, maybe refinance the house, perhaps a change in careers? Move to a less populated area and build a green home? Your friends, your family, your career, the mortgage my god what about the mortgage or the rent payment for god sake!
Ah no, no that glimmer, that lightness of being, that reasonable possible ultimately sensible way is just nonsense, stupid , even insane. It is all so complicated and look at how much Money they have anyway, the corporations and the banks and the big evil government and its gigantic awe and terror war machines all over the whole planet… better to just go with the flow and get by with the good life before it all goes to hell and the glimmering shimmering dream cast by the fires is so enticing and beautiful when one really does get down and consider the whole thing, could the economic dream machine, the money power machine stokers of the fires casting the shadows and bestowing the shadow illusion money that sustains us all be wrong?? Could they be wrong? Could it possibly be that life and death and food and trees and animals and birds and wolves and whales are not convertible to generally acceptable principles of accounting? How could it be that counting up all things using mathematics and having the cleverest or most evil person gain control of everything by manipulating symbols representing the conversion of the whole world to death be wrong??? .
How could that possibly be true because that is fucking insane.
Away away look away from the flames and stay deep in the comfort of the shadow.
