IS MONEY IMPORTANT?

For the bulk of human existence humans survived without money, now we covet useless bit of paper and code. The little piece of plastic that lives in our purse is has become the most central part of our lives. It connects us through code, to the huge fake world. The whole global economy is made up of fake numbers, and real starvation and deprivation. We are sold a massive lie of million pound yachts and plastic surgery as some how you live without caring about money. But the CEO of Cartier said at conference he loses sleep that somehow the worlds poor will rise up and depose the rich global elite. It is reassuring to know the global elite have been so enslaved to their god they can think of nothing else but money. They are prisoners, they will build themselves gated communities, they will live inside their prisons. Freedom is not needing money, a hunter gather was more free than modern man. A life with no national boundaries, and very little in the way of food shortages, huntergathers had good lives. It is a fact in the UK, the population didn't really suffer mass malnutrition until the early norman period. I worked as a lab tech in the museum of London, in the finds department processing skeletal. Rickets, shortened adult height, and mineral difficencies are modern diseases, and one look around my local town and the bent legs of young people haven't gone away.

We decided to renegotiate our relationship with money. This is what going off grid should be, a return to the freedom of the people had before we were imprisoned by a ruling class. The problem is the game is fixed. You need money to live without money. This is trap set before all people that try to escape the prison. Land to live on costs, if you manage to buy land, you need to live on it. This is the point the ruling class starts really putting the shackles on. You need planning permission for your roundhouse, mudhut, yurt, or hovel. To get the planning permission costs money, to build to building code costs money, oh it is really expensive to get planning for dwelling that has no need for external amenities . Oh look did you try to escape? are you now trapped by the need for money? ok scrap the land idea, go live in a van, travel freely. Have you insurance?, at what postcode, are parked up illegally. You will need money for fuel, insurance, tax and maintenance. But hey you are doing well, you have partly escaped enough to find the state and the state agencies such the police and the court system are stacked against you. I have heard many stories of police pulling up on parked up travellers and committing acts of brutally and harassment. So go horse drawn, you will get less harrassment, except the traditional wide verge pulling up places fir vardos are about to made illegal under the new fly grazing act. They will be able to sieze to your horse. This is what I mean the game is fixed. They don't like escapees.

So the escape route: lose the need for money in your day to day life, but save enough to be able to drive, walk, cycle to your nearest ferry out of here. Save enough for solar panels, woodburners, laptops and good boots. Invest in being an awesome human being, get a good circle of friends. Find your tribe.

Hopefully I will show you how to make soap, repair wellies, and do a whole load of things for free. Meanwhile I am working out ways of making small amounts of evilness to ensure a future where I don't need  to earn anything.
