(Translated by a machine, soon to be translated by a human)
It is not enough to write about a new world. One must create it.
It is not enough to think about values. One has to live them.
About two years ago, I decided to stop teaching math and psychometrics, the thing I had been doing for a living since I was 18.
The reason for this was simple: I cannot train engineers and economists on the one hand, and establish social and ecological projects on the other. There is an internal contradiction here.
Our world does not need one more screen, not one more building. It is certain that he does not need a mechanistic measurement of people according to some test on equilateral triangles, for competition, stress and exam anxiety.
Money is just a representation of what we do in the world, for each other. I will elaborate on this in my next piece about “will-based economy”.
Nowadays, it is customary to separate the source of livelihood from values. If a policeman arrests a protester unjustly, a person will come and claim: “He’s just doing his job.” But our actions in the world are not separate from who we are.
Therefore, I chose to engage exclusively in doing things that benefit the world: social and ecological projects, writing and investigating social and spiritual issues, and also counseling or helping a random homeless person on the street.
Due to the uncompromising nature of my work, I do not cut corners in order to fit the criteria of organizations such as local authorities or large companies. I don’t agree with teaching Googlers to meditate just so they can sell more ads. I am not ready to remain silent about the exploitation of public resources that I have seen in local authorities.
Because of this, and because of the fact that our current money system is fundamentally problematic, I offer all of my work for free.
I operate according to the principles of a will-based economy and social trinity. Art and mental development should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can pay for it.
Basically, what this means is that I will continue to remind people of their infinite good nature, for free.
How will I make a living? I will detail this later or in a private message.
As of today, I have decided not to pay any more rent (due to the devastating consequences of the very idea that one person may accept another person’s labor in exchange for the right to use land), not to take out loans (therefore I cannot buy land with a mortgage), and not to charge for anything that i do
I don’t need much to survive. I live relatively modestly, even when I’m on the move. I mainly support small business owners and consume products that do not harm nature and produce as little waste as possible. I think our world craves transparency, so you can see for yourself what I buy and how much money I have.
I don’t know exactly what my work will look like and who it will benefit. It could be to some bird in Spain, or to some drug addict who peed on himself in Cambodia. I may write a book about money that will change the economic system, but in two hundred years.
What is certain, I will continue to do everything only out of love and a desire to do well.
I don’t care who gave how much. I believe that money will disappear from the world, although it will probably take another few hundred years. In the meantime, each of us can choose to engage only in actions that benefit ourselves and others.
It’s a shame to waste even one second on anything else.
Thank you ๐
