- They have a donate option on their site. - So does the other hacktivist who is supposedly their sworn enemy. - They are getting alot of publicity with their controversial actions. Some unfortunate group of people who will actually be mislead to indulge in the act of (pardon) giving a...

Supporters of a non-currency lifestyle? I struggle to understand who you mean by that.

In my opinion, what you said is partially true, but existence and reality are of singular essense. It is without distinction. You and I are the reality experiencing itself subjectively. There is no conflict outside of that experience. And the realisation of our entity beyond this experience is...

If progress is the path to solving conflict (whence you have a goal, you have a need, whence you have a need, your are in conflict with the environment), then is the realisation that there is no conflict = progress? If yes, then the perception of reality without conflict is the perception of the...

I can only point to what I've been writting before. Societal distinction is not within the genome. Ford producing more efficient cars and sportsmen pushing limits is not the progress I was speaking of. True progress is the instillment of a harmoneous perception of universal existence. A...

No, competiteveness is not human nature. There is no "human nature" within the societal identification of a human being - we are formed by external stimulus. If you think that without the need to compete to sustain biological survival humanity will find no motivation to "move on" - you are...

Implementing a system which would prioritize resource distribution amongst humans to satisfy their basic needs in food, water and shelter, whilst erasing irrelevant artificial bounderies and distinctions which contribute to social stratification and the competitive self-perserving division of...

Yes different areas carry different resources. The manner of their distribution is enthralled within the owner's desire to make a profit to satisfy needs (the sophistication of which depends on the developement of the society in which he or she has been formed). The ability of their distribution...

I did not twist anything. You asked "Or have I got the gist of it wrong?", implying that I state my understanding of what the Zeitgeist movement is. Hence I did just that. About freedom of choice - freedom is just an extension of the environment. Nobody is talking about taking away your...

No, I said before that it elevates inequality, and I stated how later on in my post. My saying that it does not cause inequality was a direct response to you stating that "Removing money from the equation does nothing to solve that inequality." I was not speaking of the need to satisfy...

It has alot to do with socialism, yes, being implemented with the prospects of modern technology. Taking the behaviouristic approach to human psychology - our environment forms who and what we are. Hence saying that there is only one static state of the environment which "makes us human" is...

I agree that removing money from the equation doesn't solve inequality. I just want to go off on a tangent here. Basically, money is liquidity. It's a systematic instrument which alows fluidity of resource flow. It is a way to quickly aquire goods or services (hence "paralyze" them...

Money does elevate inequality. I do not mistake it for a cause - it is an element which promotes inequality. How? By distorting human needs. A system which, in abstract, allocates resources from people dying from hunger to people who want a car - an exampe you might appreciate. As for your...

What you said about money - true. Money isn't supposedly "bad" - that is a crude simplification. Money distorts human needs in a global sense. Financial indicators are equated to indicators of a country's well-being and overall progress. Within the system we have today it elevates inequality...

I believe what you meant to say was it would be easier to do so. "Greed" is essentially the continuous increase of the human sense of need, or the continued persistence of it. The sense of need is in deep correlation with the sense of conflict an individual has with the environment (example...
