WEBVTT 00:00:01.769 --> 00:00:06.376 Almost all the problems in the world are created because of one single thing. 00:00:06.496 --> 00:00:11.216 Just one! Five letters long, thousands of years old, and it is not m-o-n-e-y. 00:00:14.405 --> 00:00:16.619 It creates the following issues: 00:00:16.717 --> 00:00:22.214 poverty, famine, crime, violence, wars, poor education, pollution, climate change, 00:00:22.351 --> 00:00:27.755 overpopulation, terrorism, social classes, corruption and bribery, water scarcity, 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:34.053 environmental destruction, abuse of animals, including humans, slavery and coercion, greed, 00:00:34.183 --> 00:00:37.043 hoarding of resources, deforestation, massive waste, 00:00:37.163 --> 00:00:42.313 stagnation of scientific and technological development, lack of health care, immigration, 00:00:42.423 --> 00:00:45.883 territorial disputes, high stress and so much more. 00:00:47.928 --> 00:00:49.318 That thing is TRADE 00:00:49.457 --> 00:00:55.139 And trade gives rise to money, bitcoin, barter, exchanges of goods or services and so forth. 00:00:56.899 --> 00:01:00.999 As long as there is a need for trade, most problems would still exist. 00:01:01.278 --> 00:01:06.689 This is way trying to solve today's problems is not working, because many are forgetting about trade 00:01:06.889 --> 00:01:09.379 or not even recognizing it as an issue. 00:01:10.869 --> 00:01:14.309 If you stop people in Japan from killing blue whales for consumption 00:01:14.459 --> 00:01:17.749 or traditional medicine or whatever, then fantastic. 00:01:17.909 --> 00:01:23.279 But people in Cuba or Thailand or other parts of the world will do the exact same thing for profit 00:01:23.779 --> 00:01:26.729 for their customers in Japan or for other customers. 00:01:26.859 --> 00:01:32.327 Trying to ban everyone from killing blue whales is a great and nobel attempt yet quite unachievable. 00:01:32.692 --> 00:01:36.212 And the black market will always exist even if you achieve that. 00:01:36.342 --> 00:01:41.402 Because you didn't address the cause of the problem, you only dealt with the symptoms. 00:01:41.802 --> 00:01:44.912 The cause is what drives people to seek for profit. 00:01:45.172 --> 00:01:48.912 The symptoms are the acts that they do when seeking for profit. 00:01:49.092 --> 00:01:55.062 In this case, people will still try to kill blue whales because there is a profit to be made in doing so, 00:01:55.512 --> 00:01:58.152 And hence, there is no way you could ever stop this 00:01:58.282 --> 00:02:02.142 unless you remove the cause behind their seeking for profit. 00:02:02.722 --> 00:02:04.142 So think about this, 00:02:04.212 --> 00:02:09.084 Let's say we have one trillion problems today and we attempt to solve 500 of them, 00:02:09.144 --> 00:02:10.754 In the same way just described. 00:02:10.864 --> 00:02:15.834 We would still be left with the same trillion problems as only the symptoms would be addressed 00:02:16.114 --> 00:02:18.754 Rather than the cause generating the problems. 00:02:19.014 --> 00:02:23.154 If we solve in the same way another two thousand or two million problems 00:02:23.294 --> 00:02:25.864 There would still be one trillion problems left. 00:02:26.034 --> 00:02:30.384 The math is not wrong, because it's an illusion that we solve problems in that manner, 00:02:30.544 --> 00:02:35.624 since the force of trade, making people seek profit at any costs, will still exist. 00:02:36.084 --> 00:02:39.584 And because of that, people will find ways to hijack any laws, 00:02:39.674 --> 00:02:42.814 no matter how drastic and well implemented they are. 00:02:42.844 --> 00:02:47.074 And so, problems will arise everywhere no matter how much you try and stop them 00:02:47.204 --> 00:02:52.844 with this old and outdated approaches, because you fail to understand the cause of the problems. 00:02:53.704 --> 00:02:57.524 This is similar to trying to find a cure for the diseases of old age, 00:02:57.714 --> 00:03:04.284 Like Alzheimer disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, and so forth. 00:03:04.624 --> 00:03:10.584 You can not find a cure for this diseases because they are a result of getting old, and everyone gets old. 00:03:10.714 --> 00:03:15.376 So the only attempt to solve them is to first acknowledge that aging is the problem, 00:03:15.813 --> 00:03:18.203 And that those diseases are the symptoms. 00:03:18.363 --> 00:03:22.633 Aging is ingrained in our cultural consciousness as something that is natural, 00:03:23.123 --> 00:03:28.393 But that notion is increasingly challenged today, with many doctors acknowledging that aging 00:03:28.603 --> 00:03:32.413 is the source of most health problems and thus trying to tackle it 00:03:32.783 --> 00:03:34.823 instead of focusing on it's symptoms. 00:03:35.233 --> 00:03:40.243 In the same way, people can not imagine how we can live in a world with no trade, no currency, 00:03:40.323 --> 00:03:42.133 no property, jobs and so forth. 00:03:42.433 --> 00:03:45.393 But this notion is also challenged today by so many 00:03:45.713 --> 00:03:48.523 And we are one of those who do that in great detail, 00:03:48.743 --> 00:03:54.163 Because like in the case of aging, we do not see any other alternatives in solving today's problems, 00:03:54.273 --> 00:03:56.823 other than getting rid of the need for trade, 00:03:57.093 --> 00:04:02.323 like there is no alternative in solving the diseases of old age unless you tackle aging. 00:04:02.873 --> 00:04:08.009 Therefore we spent years trying to describe in detail how a world without trade can function. 00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:12.189 We are talking about a world where trade is obsolete and unnecessary. 00:04:12.359 --> 00:04:14.671 This should be a world of abundance for all. 00:04:14.811 --> 00:04:17.931 A world where people are accessing instead of owning, 00:04:18.111 --> 00:04:20.161 where people work but have no jobs, 00:04:20.431 --> 00:04:24.361 where everyone gets whatever they need and want without any trade involved, 00:04:24.501 --> 00:04:27.961 without them needing to give anything in return for those favors. 00:04:28.311 --> 00:04:33.871 This world would rely on volunteers, open-source projects, a scientific mindset and so forth, 00:04:34.171 --> 00:04:40.061 That will have no unique tag attached to them, but instead will become normalities that need no label. 00:04:40.391 --> 00:04:44.491 We are describing how changing today's infrastructure into a self-sustainable, 00:04:44.611 --> 00:04:48.091 automated and autonomous and open-source one is a must. 00:04:48.561 --> 00:04:52.761 Education is another essential aspect where people's values must change 00:04:52.991 --> 00:04:55.601 for us to achieve such a world for all of us. 00:04:56.311 --> 00:05:00.511 In this kind of world, as we showcase, we need no politics, countries, 00:05:00.611 --> 00:05:03.241 police, currencies, armies and so forth. 00:05:03.631 --> 00:05:07.481 But it takes a while to understand such ideas and this sort of approach. 00:05:07.851 --> 00:05:12.027 This is why we made a huge 14 hour documentary explaining this direction, 00:05:12.187 --> 00:05:15.697 together with a big e-book (The Monetary Game and Beyond) 00:05:15.917 --> 00:05:21.667 where we elaborate more directly and in more detail on the problems and solutions that we must address. 00:05:22.297 --> 00:05:27.347 We recommend both the documentary and e-book as they vital in order to properly understand 00:05:27.457 --> 00:05:29.067 all of the TROM materials. 00:05:29.547 --> 00:05:34.847 Use TROMSITE.COM as a free tool to educate yourself and others about this direction. 00:05:35.147 --> 00:05:37.661 We have plenty of materials to choose from. 00:05:38.171 --> 00:05:40.111 Help us get this message across! 00:05:42.161 --> 00:05:43.622 Thank you very much!
