Saw recently that at current production levels we only need 30% to handled every human’s needs. This concept basically confirms and explains that study.

It's interesting, but doesn't really hold. We don't spend nearly as much on war here in Denmark but the average standard of living is fairly similar to the US. Same goes for many developed nations.

I think George Carlin said something to the effect of "If time is money, and machines save time, where's all the money?"

Scott, you're 💯 spot-on accurate, iv often argued that the greatest threat to humanity is ignorance, control the information you control the minds, at least for the lazy population.

That's why you never hear about how to get the working class i.e. the poor out of their poverty, but always the middle class, the buffer class to the rich.

Once everyone understands why only one political party feels threatened by an educated (or healthy) society, so much more makes complete sense.

Part of freeing ourselves from this is not using money as much as possible. Trade with your neighbours. Swap childcare and maintenance tasks.

The object of war is to keep the structure of society intact… rich on top!!

For further reading on the destruction of surplus through history I’d recommend George Battaille The accursed Share part 1.

Is there information, or the possibility of calculating it, how much money the countries, the nuclear powers, have spent on the development, production and maintenance of nuclear weapons so far?

This might be the most horrible thing I learned today. War with China and Russia is a horrifically stupid, evil and bad idea.

I agreed 100%. capitalism needs market for goods to sale and make more profit. War eliminates the existing goods and opens up opportunity for manufacturing and market for replacing goods.
