Pieces of advice on how to live
- Continuous growth when natural recourses are limited.
- A system with shares so money is maximized where there is the largest
profit by impoverishing natural recourses and people.
- International prize competition utilizing poor people keeping them poor
as well as making all other people to slaves.
There are many methods to avoid the Motor that Destroys.
They are related to the idea of The Living People but much more.
There is everywhere annoyance with the system of only egoistic work and consumtion. There is a coming change.
A pool for work can function as follows:
All workers are members.
Long before a worker finishes at a working place, he will
have other working places waiting.
The aim is to utilize the capacity of workers to a maximum
knowing what everybody wants to do, how everybody
wants to develop himself and has physical and mental
capacities etc.
However this all should be realized with the assumption
that people also must have time to live.
Few people know for sure what they want with life.
Or they have rather little knowledge even about
themselves - either having wrong fantasies or
are depressed and think they are good for nothing.
So there should be psychologists, not working for
the entrepreneur but for the workers themselves and
with good ideas about how to really live.
The character of people is not so that some are very
competent and others are less competent. But so that
everybody is good at something. Somebody might have
a very helpful mind. Somebody else again might be
critical to everything. But everybody is needed. In
the show of life there is a place for every actor.
The directors and entrepreneurs are also workers with
their capacities.
The pool aims to arrange maximum good work for
everybody.
It also aims to develop establishments suitable for the
capacities of the population. It studies actively coming
markets and products as well as needed new services.
The gain of this system is that establishments can freely
take great risks without anybody ever loosing work.
Nobody is ever without work - he will only have a less good
work for some time. And by time everybody will have
the best possible work he likes to do.
The pool makes very small companies possible as risks
even there are minimized.
There can be a continuous dialogue between the pool and
the establishments and the workers. Ideas and initiatives
are the basis of development.
The pool has also to arrange capital for the establishments
as well as market the coming activity to get the capital
investments.
The pool needs very competent people and good information
about world and local development utilizing all available
knowledge.
Bad decisions can generate very large problems.
There exists companies and government authorities
doing parts of the discussed system. However so far
all organizations have done only some limited work.
The system does not interfere with development
offices of companies. It has to look for the total
market. It must also not harm the competition
between companies, however it can give advice.
This idea with a pool for work must develop with
care. At first on a small scale with experiments.
Social work, work for the nature
and climate as well as work for art,
culture and religions must be
integrated within the system. Today
these activities are very haphazardly
managed.
Many kind of automatic systems will do the
treadmill work.
When industry started, people said that "now
mashines will do all work" - but we still work.
Something is totally wrong. The doble
circulation model means economic planning
starts with cocial planning and arranges the
economy so it makes life joyfull and good.
We have much to study.
This is updated in January 2019.
We shall enjoy nature and art. Art makes man a man with a soul. Nature is the basis of further life.
The hard life with business, gives no time or understanding
of good art, culture or nature. The life within the city
is hard and qualities are in relation to money, not real
quality. Also all nature is only utilized by means to
create money. Such a system is not sustainable.
With very little traffic and nearly no cars, all work and all service must exist within the local village or city section.
Take care of the society. Make contact with neighbors, friends and relatives.
The climate will change if the traffic of today should
continue. The way to manage service and a good living
needs to have the service near the living quarters.
Authorities don't have money for a functioning social
service.
The only way to manage this is by help from neighbors and
relatives.
In the cities of today about 1/3 of the population
is people living alone without any friends. That is a shame.
To do work is to live. All work must be designed so that it has a meaning, is decent and gives joy to those who work.
Help all those who need help. But remember problems are not solved just by helping, but by planning and changing.
Any problem will continue if the thing generating the
problem continues to exist. We know many problems
which will come if we don't hinder them to develop.
The biggest crime is to be greedy. To make mistakes should not be criminal as people should not aim for perfectionism, but for a human life with dignity.
Some think greediness generates activity. But it is just
a behavior.
Capital is everywhere. The way capital has been so far arranged for means that capital is only the capital of the selected few who are authorized with their capital.
Capital can be registered in every village and needs only a regular formula procedure. Every village can have its own
currency.
- Avoid traveling by car or air.
A car is not good for longer trips. It is a horrible polluter
and dangerous like a weapon for killing.
- Know your neighbours.
As money never will be enough for commercial social service
then the only way to manage is by help from neighbours.
- Experience wild nature and let it exist around you.
There is a trend to kill all nature and plant some dull plants
instead. Such surroundings lack the richness of nature.
There are scientific facts which show that man needs to
see nature about all the time.
- Eat natural food.
- Collect important knowledge on how to really live.
People just let life go on without any thoughts about
how their life runs away.
- Don't play computer games all the time.
The games get better and better. Will there come a time
when people only sit by the screen. I hope not.
- Have meals with your family.
In a society where all social relations are disappearing
the meal might be the only time the family is together.
Man should be social.
- Help your neighbors and be friends with them.
Man should be social and the neighbors are near
when you need help.
- Construct things. Repair things. Don't waste.
It looks good to have repaired clothes. When 95% of world
people are very poor you should not be so rich that you
cannot mend small holes.
Don't waste. There are not enough natural resources
for that.
- Know flowers, animals and enjoy the richness of nature.
You will enjoy so much.
- Know the multitude of different people and enjoy this
richness.
You will enjoy so much.
- Reconstruct family links.
The destructive forces of consumerism have destroyed
many bonds. They still can be repaired. And man is a
social being.
- Have responsibility for children, parents, sisters, brothers
and neighbours.
As man always has been a social being
then it is wrong to cut that out of life.
- Do basic health care at home.
90 percent of all ills can be cured with small means at home.
There will never be enough public money to do health service
as needed.
- - There should be some kind of shops nearby.
In such shops there is somebody interested to give you
service. Such interest is extinct in market halls.
- There should be selling from cars.
It is better the products move around than that the
consumers move around.
- "My Own Product": Those who work shall have a say about
their work and also be partial owners of the establishment.
Share holders abroad might decide to end the existence of
the factory where you work. Still there is all the capital of
knowledge in the place. That capital should have some
value. One way is to have a stamp "My Own Product"
which will ensure the product is made with care and
interest about quality.
- There is a right size for humans. Like establishments,
transports, computer speeds, furniture, houses, schools
and anything.
The German man Neufert studied and developed the
measures to be used as standards for architects. These
standards are everywhere in use. But it should not stop by
this. There are many more objects which have a definitive
size to suite man.
Or they will not suite man.
Statistics show that people only walk about 300
meters. So never think about bigger villages or
sectors of cities than vith a radius of 300 meters.
Outside are things that don´t function.
- The good advertiser is the one which knows the consumer
has a limited amount of money and thus should use this
money in the way giving most pleasure. It is totally wrong
to make people use some money on crap and then these
people don't have money for important things.
The very idea is to make it possible for you to get things
you will be happy with. Just spending money without
any plan makes it impossible to ever get what you long for.
And the way normal advertising is working is just to make
you buy the wrong thing.
