Social movements powering the future of money Kindle Edition


Money is a social construct but to survive, you need money and its scarcity fixates everyone on self-preservation.

So, instead of money or the love of it being the root of all evil, can money scarcity have sublimely and very narrowly focused you on wanting to win at all costs? As that transforms you into a numbers-chasing machine, have you become oblivious to everyone and everything but yourself?

Interwoven into the fabric of our lifestyle, our habits and daily choices, society then self-organizes to systemically perpetuate the paradigm of artificial Scarcity we live in. Normalized, the road to hell is paved with good intentions because the best of intentions keep getting hijacked by the way we perceive, think and act ‘I win, you lose.’

Most of all, has money scarcity blinded you to the systemic role of money—to the system of how money influences our behaviors—to make the Age of 'I win, you lose' Nonsense our stark reality? Surviving for ourselves, haven’t all of us become the human resource that turns money into a public utility for a global payment system—governed exclusively by Big Business?

In
Social movements powering the future of money, read how 16 amazing founders mainly in the Commons/P2P space are attempting to power a more “real economy.” They weigh in on the psychology of money and suggest how you may start a social movement.

Because today, very few people own as much as half the world’s population (that’s over 3.8 billion). According to Oxfam’s latest report, 26 richest people owned US$1.4 trillion. The year before, it was the top 43 people but in 2017, it was the top eight.

Based on more of the same nonsense, as money becomes Big Data and new technologies replace humans, wouldn’t the latest transition take us from the world’s dumbest idea to the world’s most dangerous idea? Read to explore the root cause of how we have unwittingly created our man-made world the way it is today, why life as we know it is ending and how universal basic income may be bridging this shift.

Most of all, think about the future you want for everyone—not just for yourself or your loved ones.

On a voyage of self-discovery since 2001, Singaporean Betty Lim finds out she's an intuitive empath with INTJ inclinations and realizes her childhood habit of observing behaviors has enabled her to see how the paradigm we're in incentivizes all the wrong behaviors.

After working for advertising agencies and starting a PR department, most of her earlier adult years were spent in Hong Kong. Her work in Singapore, HK, Canada and Asia was mainly in corporate perception management (from fine-tuning business processes, managing employee relations to writing and marketing). Often, her schools of learning were by proactive doing.

In 2004, Betty's fascination with how the Internet could transform humanity saw her leaving traditional employment—to self-actualize, to experience the future of work and to become a path finder/catalyst for a world of True Abundance where everyone can be authentically happy and fulfilled as a human being. That had included experimenting with developing nine mini social media platforms amid repeated encounters with cognitive dissonance.

Back in Singapore, she started working on Social Movements Powering the Future of Money in May 2016. It turned into an unexpected and truly emergent journey to try to understand the root cause of all our biggest problems and why we cannot solve our systemic challenges with the same Business-as-usual thinking used to create them.
