You and I share many common views, especially this one on abundance. I agree that when we can access what we need when we need it, there will be no need for greed. But this economic system sets us up for greed, it incites greed by causing scarcity, an artificial scarcity because scarcity is not natural. Nature has provided and has a formula of regeneration so all we must do is live within its replenishment rate. With our knowledge of science, we can take advantage of nature's formula and receive much more than we can imagine.

If people were free to do as they desire, amazing things will be built or made available. We really are shackled when we live in a state of scarcity. They do the economy this way (by the issuance of money with interest) so that we will feel deprived. What do you do when there is scarcity say of water, or cucumbers, or oil or anything really? You hoard, right? That is what we do because of our artificially-generated scarcity. We hoard, save and grasp as much as we can because we know there isn't enough to go round. It's like a perpetual state of musical chairs. And it all exists because we attach a monetary value to everything but most of all because of the way money is created, the way more debt is created than actual credit. And this is the system our civilization goes by, but most people have absolutely no clue how this works on their psyche.

The thing that we probably don't see eye-to-eye in is that I believe there is a roadmap to get us into the abundance you speak of. That we are capable of directing ourselves into that state of being. We "learned" how to be scarcity-minded and now we have to relearn how to be abundance-minded. And again, this can be done using another money system, where we quantify our time thus our production. If we simply did that, it would show us that abundance is within our hold and that we can exercise it whenever we wish. But doing nothing, having no pathway to get to the abundance-mindset, essentially hands over the reigns to whatever way the wind blows us. Why take a risk when we could actually make it a reality?
