Prosperity in today’s world only lasts until the very moment that it doesn’t. And by then, it’s too late

Very few realise it. Even fewer are prepared to talk about it. But the financial and monetary system that we currently have can only exist as it does, making some extremely rich, at the cost of many becoming increasingly poor or poorer.

Because of the way the FIAT monetary system is constructed, it is necessarily skewed to benefit those who control and play the system.

FIAT can only continue to function as long as the rules that hurt everybody who is outside of the game continue to be punished more and more.

Because FIAT and all the systems that are built around it have disparity at their very core.

The System literally survives and can only survive on the basis of the Wealth Inequality that today grows exponentially between rich and poor.

Clever as FIAT is for those who control it, the system was always destined to fail. It was never a question of if, only the question of when.

The only question that troubles today’s world elites is ‘What comes next?’

With AI set to put millions of people out of work for no better reason than more profit being made for those who own and control the systems and the industries behind it, the masses have yet to awaken to the reality that using technology and Artificial Intelligence in this way is not progress. Neither is it necessary.

The AI-takeover that is today being delivered through narratives, even before it has fully arrived, is a change that can only lead to challenges across society that those who are set to benefit believe that they will be insulated from and that they will have no responsibility to bear.

If you consider yourself to be living in the real world today, can you really picture the situation where there is perhaps just a handful of people on the planet, and that they can continue to enjoy the kind of luxury and wealth in material form that they have today and that they aspire to maintain, without the millions and perhaps billions of other people on the planet who made that whole scenario viable?

Despite even this rather uncomfortable truth, the most challenging reality that we face, as we try to open the doors to change and imagine a world that puts people at the heart of everything as it should, is that the world of today embraces an unwritten cultural acceptance that For some to be rich, many more must to be poor.

So successful has the process that brought us here been that those at the top of this twisted tree of upwardly flowing benefit, have turned their back on everyone at the bottom that this corrupt system has left behind.

They now imagine that a new world can be engineered and deliberately be brought into being where those with wealth and power have no responsibility for the poor.

This is where we are today.

Regrettably, those who are doing so well out of the increasing misery of so many others today really do believe that the future need only be good and that freedom in its real sense need only exist for the few.

It is why so much of the technology that we now have available under such direction is such a massive threat to humanity. Rather being the tool for The Common Good to support us all in our search for better lives which it would be. IF the fervent greed and obsession with profit at all costs that now drives all tech development including AI we’re to be left behind.

We recognise that people, community and the environment must be at the centre of everything.

That money must be returned to being used only for the purpose of being an exchange mechanism and tool for life that it was always supposed to be.

A future that works for us all doesn’t allow a cultural system to exist where we believe that even human existence itself can only be calculated in monetary forms.

Money cannot and will not be the only way that we can trade.

The real value that underpins economics and economies at all levels in the future will be based upon the people and the contributions they make within it.

We foresee a Local Market Exchange coming to be which flourishes around the local economy and where goods, services and labour itself can be traded and bartered directly for others goods, services and labour, as well as locally derived and managed cash based and blockchain supported currencies can also be used.

Money, nor currency of any kind will be speculated or gambled as today. As this is where the majority of social problems effecting so many across the world have most often found their true origin and cause.

Above everything, we recognise it as essential that the lowest paid can sustain themselves fully and independently on a weekly wage.

To achieve and maintain a society where everyone has the ability to self-sustain, it is also necessary that the entire system of business, finance and governance must prioritise this and only this, instead of profit for the few as has up until know been the only acknowledged way.

We have called it The Basic Living Standard.

Today, Money is a rigged game with a real-life cheat code that is  part of the Moneyocracy that we are all currently enslaved to. And if we all want to experience a much better kind of life, there is much that we need to consider and a great amount that is hurting us all, that we must leave behind.

We will not embrace the change Our World needs until events make it impossible for us to do otherwise

The hardest part of addressing any kind of addiction is crossing the Rubicon to accepting that we are addicted.

And for as long as we have not accepted that our state of addiction exists, we continue blissfully unaware that everything that we once considered to be important has itself been usurped by the fake importance that has taken over our direction at the centre of our lives.

As a society and culture, we are addicted to a lifestyle that revolves around money, the accumulation of wealth, influence, power, advancement and self.

It’s all part of a worldwide malaise that would most accurately be named a Moneyocracy.

The value of money is the benchmark of our values system. It relates to everything in life.

Money and everything linked to it comes before everything important, including the consideration we have for other human beings.

The problem is, we don’t see it.

Or rather, we do see it. But for as long as even the smallest benefit that this bogus system provides us appears to outweigh the disadvantages, we are completely hooked into it and blind to the damage that it is doing to everyone; not least of all ourselves.

This malign and all-encompassing value system has taken over everything so comprehensively, that we cannot imagine a future without whatever benefit we each prize so highly being available to us each and every day. Even though it is the behaviour that exists in all our lives that has created and allowed the Top-Down Moneyocracy to exist, take over and progressively thrive.

We refuse to accept that there is a way of living our lives that can and will be better for us all in so many different ways. Because our addiction to this System tells us that there is nothing better than the hit that we get, in whatever way each of us may get it, and the wilful blindness that accompanies our addiction obscures the reality that each and every time we take it, in whatever way it may be, it is our own behaviour that is this cultural problem’s cause.

We cannot take any of the causes of the problems that we have today with us. Because we will otherwise not be moving forward or leaving everything that’s causing so much harm to everyone and the world we live in, behind.

However, what is regrettably clear, is that we will not relinquish our collective hold upon the Moneyocracy and the harm that it is doing us, until events force us to view the mechanics of our lives in a very different way.

Wars, financial system crashes, pandemics, shortages, civil unrest and many other unsavoury experiences that too many of us had until recently been happy to believe had long since been left behind, could all lead or contribute to the end of the Moneyocracy and a way of living that in the terms of all that we should be valuing, has already come at an incalculable cost to us all.

The future is abstract. Because Today’s way of Life is the root cause of Our problems and We will only have a Tomorrow if we leave it behind

On Monday, I published ‘Our Local Future’, a new booklet that is free to read, broken down into page-based topics online, or downloadable as a Book for Kindle for less than the price of a coffee in one of today’s UK high street branded shops.

I’ve already had a number of conversations about Our Local Future.

Feedback from people on all the subjects I have been writing about, discussing and that I have continued to explore is always interesting.

Not because framing those conversations this way wraps up disagreement in some kind of polite and therefore palatable way.

But because by far the most common response – and a very quick one too, is for something to come back that says ‘This sounds like’, or perhaps, ‘I watched a video that mentioned that’, or ‘Isn’t that the same thing as’.

I went through a similar experience when I joined a postgraduate course at a British University last year so that I could look more closely at the mechanics of the UK Food Security issues and the many parts of life that the issues of Food Production and access to the Basic Essentials in Life really does reflect or touch.

In many ways, I was gobsmacked by how closed-down to anything other than existing work, publications or reference points the part of ‘The System’ where the thinking is supposed to be happening really is.

But I was, most importantly, deeply concerned, by how thinkers and visionaries seem able only to visualise the future of our world and how everything works or rather will work, in terms of what we already know and accept.

It’s a situation that is not unlike the whole of the post-European Referendum stages of the Brexit debacle that were handled so badly. Fundamentally because the stepping-off point was considered to be where the UK was or had been, rather than where it would actually be, whenever the genuine point of the UKs departure from Membership of the EU would come.

Nobody in government stepped outside of the accepted, backwards-looking paradigm and began to consider that you cannot have a new way of being, if you don’t leave the old one behind.

Perhaps they did. And that’s an important point for us all to consider too.

Having a future System for life that has solved all the problems that we have today; that runs effectively in the ways that it should and most importantly which creates and maintains an experience of life and living which is Balanced, Fair and Just for all, has very little in common with what we have and what we are experiencing in this ‘Old World’, today.

A Future that works for all is an abstract concept in todays terms. Not least of all, because experiencing the level of change needed, that will benefit everyone, AND taking the stuff from today that so may want to keep because they think its special and benefits them, are mutually exclusive pathways.

These are journeys that lead to two very different destinations, that will in every sense deliver alternative outcomes that are worlds apart.

The future is about empowerment, re-enfranchisement, sovereignty and the restoration of accountability and respect for everyone at the individual or personal level, all within the local community and environmental sense itself.

It is alarming, because Fairness, Balance, Justice and a world that gives everyone the ability to be Happy, Healthy, Safe and Secure does not resemble anything that the masses are genuinely experiencing beyond all the carefully crafted narratives, now.

Those who are ‘high on The System’ that we have in this ‘Old World’ immediately visualise such suggestions as being a threat to what they ‘have’ today.

And they guard what they have jealously too. Because they believe it is their right to have more and to be able to have even more.

So much of what is wrong for so many of us today is itself the direct, indirect and often many times removed impact of some having lives that work disproportionately well for them. Whilst the often-unseen consequence is very little that is good across all areas of an otherwise unnecessarily hard life for so many more of us.

We MUST put People at the heart of everything and leave all that is bad from today’s Old World Moneyocracy behind.

We cannot and will not achieve this, if those who have more than they need today, will not accept that everyone can have a great life, IF we all have unhindered access to all that we need too.

The Future that will work for us all, is about us all.

The Future will work for each of us in very different ways to how we see and experience the whole thing now.

The question is how we disentangle ourselves or what will happen that will disentangle us all from everything that is wrong with the world today, and stop us manifesting everything bad that will keep us in the darkest parts of the past.

Our Future IS Local

Hi Everyone,

I’ve just published another free-to-read version of a booklet that I have put together as a website that you will find at www.ourlocalfuture.com

Our Local Future is available as a Kindle Book too, and runs through the key changes to the way society functions that would make everything work much better for everyone and create a happy, healthy, safe and secure environment for us all.

I’ve written this latest Book, because I’m fed up of listening to everyone who knows this or knows that, wasting valuable time arguing that only they know the next steps we, as a culture and society should take, to put everything right.

People who should really know better are focused only on the journey and who controls it. Instead of considering the destination and what the outcomes will be that solve all our problems and create a world and culture where Balance, Fairness and Justice can be experienced by all.

Meanwhile, the constant debates over who or what is to blame; whether problems like climate change and the need for Foodbanks are real; or who is right vs who is wrong are just making everything that’s already wrong exponentially worse.

More often than not, these ‘blockers’ who let their egos get in the way, are the very same people who hear a new idea or proposal and immediately say ‘It won’t work’. Usually, because they only want change for everyone else, IF they can be certain that they will gain in some way, or at the very least don’t believe that they could lose.

Change is no longer a choice. It’s happening around all of us right now. And the difficulties we face are going to get worse before there’s any chance that things will get better.

The unspoken truth or secret ingredient that we all have to accept is that by embracing change that will help to make sure everyone has the best experience of life that they can, we will all end up with a system of governance and way of life that works in every good way that we could possibly wish for ourselves.

Best Wishes, Adam

Is Poverty invisible to those who don’t experience it?

The fact those with power and influence don’t understand what Poverty really is makes the ‘solutions’ they come up with potentially more harmful to those in need, rather than making the genuine difference that so many who have been left behind now need.

As someone who experienced poverty as a child, a research project for a Postgraduate Course project in late 2023 enabled Adam to compare the realities of living in Poverty in the UK today, to the experiences from the 70’s and 80’s that were his own.

In his own words, ‘The experience was sobering’ and the brief paper he wrote for assessment based on his question ‘Is Poverty invisible to those who don’t experience it’ is contained within this short Book.

Today, Adam often states: “You have to experience or be touched by Poverty to understand it.”

Will you agree?
