The current monetary system forces choices on us: ever growing public debt or either people being left out or everlasting growth on a finite planet which is wishful thinking at best. There are alternatives. A computer simulation of a small village gives insights. claude.ai/code/artifac...

After #Trump his rant about smoke clouds from Canada I'm wondering how long it will take before he's going to urge to build a wall to stop it. Is there anyone who still thinks this guy has any sanity left?

Has anyone ever wondered why government debt is relative to GDP? If we would measure obesity in the same way the solution would be to eat more. Weight (government debt) in relation to calories (GDP). Obesity becomes a problem when you start a diet from that perspective.

Maybe they meant nominal? I always found it weird to express debt, which is a stock, relative to GDP, which is a flow. Thats like expressing one's obesity level in relation to the amount of calories one eats. As long as you eat enou, you're not obese but once you go on a diet all hell breaks loose.

Look at the levels of wishful thinking there! Maybe we just need to invent a magic wand? Let's wait for that to happen, eh? What could possibly go wrong?

I'd argue that the monetary system itself needs to be scrutinized. doi.org/10.3390/jrfm... There are better alternatives for a monetary system that is inherently unstable (www.imf.org/en/Publicati...) and leads to unpayable debt (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG....

It seems that the #AI wars have begun. Will your #resume generating AI outsmart the AI on the other end? The hard question now becomes: how to detect the human. Maybe we will revert to person to person interviews only again? Might not be too bad. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/t...

I've been saying it for quite a while now: we are marching towards a global debt crisis, also known as unpayable debt. Just have a look at the animation on this #IMF page. This is systemic and tied to our debt based, interest bearing monetary system. www.imf.org/external/dat...

Interesting questions to ask AI: - What would happen to our monetary system if the economy slows down or goes into recession? - Can we continuously grow our economy and keep our planet liveable? - Arr there better election systems than the one vote per candidate/party per person?

IMF: “Global financial stability at risk.” You don’t say. Turns out a debt-based economy propped up by fragile trust and infinite growth isn’t future-proof. Maybe it’s time for a money system that doesn’t implode on contact: SuMSy. Sanity, finally. #SuMSy #PostGrowth

I've been noticing something lately. There are a lot of people who raealize things need to change. Posts about all what is wrong do well. But it seems like posts that propose solutions do not so well. Am I wrong? If not, any idea why?

Canada imports only 17% of their products from the US. They are worried about their export of 75%. They should realize they are less dependant on the US than the US on them. An economic system does not have to grow. dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.... #ecomomy #canada #us

I went to the apothecary today. While I was waiting I watched the commercials. OMFG!!!! There was an endless stream of skin care commercials! Like a snake oil shop telling women they are not beautiful enough. Stop it already! We don't need more commercials making people feel depressed for profit!

Since #AI is all the hype these days, I wondered what Chat GPT would have to say about rated #voting systems and their impact. Autocorrect changed 'likert' into likely in the first question but the rest is pretty enlightening I'd say. chatgpt.com/share/67ce7f...

The fact that people can get rich by just shuffling money around without contributing anything to society and that real world solutions for real world problems get blocked due to a lack of profitable business models is a huge problem to society.

I'm thinking: economic collapse is coming and ... that's a good thing ... in a sad way. Real change only seems to happen when disaster hits. I just hope we can prepare in time. The solutions for a real system change are there. Now we need people who will actually pull their head out of the sand.

That would definitely be a better goal. The problem with the current monetary system is that money had become the end instead of just the means to an end. Silvio Gesell already saw that www.naturalmoney.org/NaturalEcono...

"Follow the Money" is a well known phrase. But it's mainly accurate in the context of our current monetary system. I think a better saying would be: Follow the Incentives. It opens doors to critical thinking and system change.

Not a surprise. We are heading walking into a worldwide debt crisis with our eyes closed. An interest bearing, debt based monetary system inevitably leads to unpayable debt in a slow or stagnating economy. An ever growing economy leads to an unliveable planet. Time to change the monetary system.

There is no power stronger than a united group. We tend to forget that when dealing with oligarchs and despots. We have been taught to be powerless but we are powerful beyond measure. We can change the world.
