i myself have been concentrating on having thoughts of a world where you no longer have to equate your actions with monetary reward. i think it would be healthy for a discussion of what a world like that would be like.

self service to others is at the top of the pyramid, when you look at maslow's hierarchy of needs. now we just have to make that work for everyone.

basic shelter for everyone
food for everyone
your job classified for what you like to do, not what you need to do to earn a living.
free health care for everyone

we have based our society on need and put the monetary system at the center of it as the driving factor. imagine waking up tomorrow and not having to worry about how you were going to pay your bills. imagine being able to concentrate on the world around you and be happy doing that.

i can hear someone reading this saying " right , what are you smokin buddy?"
but i really think that if we are going to evolve, that we have to stop and ask a really serious question. what is money? money is just a physical representation of reward. we need to change the world. the reward should be a feeling of self accomplishment. so for all of you who are reading this: create a think tank that will discuss the concept of *how could the world operate if the monetary system was removed from the equation?*
