you need to start asking "why hasn't any of this been applied yet" instead of calling us naysayers

the factor of human greed alone is an unchangable factor that destroys most of the economic proposals of the video

Yes I misunderstood. It is part your fault for not wording it clearly. You two need to seriously calm down right now and speak maturly while expressing your opinions are arguments. Majority and minority doesn't matter; if you agree the society is a good idea but you don't think it will happen then why don't you simply stop saying it won't happen if you think it's a good idea.
it was pretty clearly worded, had you taken some time to think.
we are speaking maturely, and boltster along with comr4de are absolutely destroying your argument, so I don't know what you're going on about now

Hm, you obviously didn't watch chapter 1. If you did, sorry I thought you didn't you should have said you disagreed with it instead. Of course this is being applied. Look around you and the concepts are being applied everywhere, just in small amounts here and there and slowly.

Determining whose arguments wins is all opinion. *rolls eyes*

Second of all, you didn't watch the video, you are not supposed to post if you haven't.
bite me
You are misinformed on many of the statements you just said. The mechanization of the workforce is exactly what I said, "automation of labor" is a synonym. So it was what I was talking about.
hey man, I'm not gonna read through 5 pages of liberal bs to say my opinion
Also, you said "the credit system is failing because nobody understands the concept of not spending money if you don't have any." All money spent is money created out of thin air when it is printed. Furthermore, interest is charged on all loans, which you need to, in turn, print more money to pay off.
google "inflation"

for someone so educated on economics you sure seem to not understand how this works
My statements are backed by research. This video is a secondary source, so I haven't used primary sources, no, but I'm not pulling anything out of my ass.
I think that if you did your own research you would come to a different conclusion

i disagree with chapter 1 then

i don't believe you can change that factor of human psychology, and whether or not you can is still being hugely debated by psychologists. the removal of greed is the foundation for all the economic proposals in the video, and we don't even know if it's solid yet? no thanks

I don't see what you two are angry about. I also don't understand why you have to make personal attacks against me. Maybe this video has revealed the truth to you and you don't want to accept it ;).

Researching doesn't breed robots of people that all believe the same thing. Also, I'm just wondering what college courses you took on modern economics. You seem to know a lot more than me.

I'm a senior in high school, and I do my own research tyvm.

And I'm sorry to break it to you, but you may want to tone down the conceit.


NAH

Well then research etiquette on arguing and discussion. There is a lot of reading to do on checking your own statements before attacking your opponents'.

hey guys did you know

people are scared of change, that's why they disagree

I'm sorry but did anyone watch the video? I'll trust a bunch of doctors and whatnot over Szoltster any day btw

And even though whether or not greed is unchangeable in humans is being debated among psychologists, doesn't mean there are more studies disproving it. I'll bet you that the psychologists opposing it are just afraid of new information and have no studies to back their claims up. I mean how do you explain philanthropists and volunteers. I bet the geedy people in this world were raised improperly just like the video suggests.
