(Jul 27 05, 00:45)No it's not, it's simply unreallistic in a money based global economy. It's not star trek.

*stabs jamble out of impotent eco-rage ;)

kelpie. the notion that the global economy isn't regulated is a sham
mind you I've been reading a lot of J.K. Galbraith over the last few years.

it's not star trek. it is just a better way. and i think it can work

ha ha, great quote here:
"Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite."
good stuff.

I hope it will work.
but i'm so pessimistic
- pascii0
( probably it wouldn't work because mankind is so selfish ) but i like to act as if it would work. so i can look optimistic in the future.

I'd vote for you Pascii ;)

Its a rubbish idea. If I didn't make money advertising shite that nobody needs I wouldn't be able to buy shite that I don't need.

i love that idea of a 50/50 job, pascii. i've thought of doing similar. work part-time designing things you believe in and then make up the rest of what you need to live on by doing something therapeutic and benign.

I don't know but that sentence conjurs up images of an evil designer sitting at his desk with a cat on his lap, going "MOOHAHHAAAAHAAA!!" to himself (while batch proccessing evil plans in photoshop)

Sure, but nowdays, although i usually wear "optimistic glasses" to see the reality, i feel dazed about the latest facts

lol @ stuff!
para: 50/50 isn't that bad. gives u speed and ideas i think. for myself, i can imagine a job outside would be nice

did anyone read that book _the myth of globalisation_? i used to think that the notion that the market, by analogy with the body, could be a self-regulating organism was a particularly dangerous and naive meme. now, however, i wonder if there isn't some sort of purgative evil phase that has to precede the balance. of course, it's lasted 2000 years, lol.

yeah as long as you work the summer Pascii! I wouldn't like a job chipping ice in Switzerland!
