Resource Based Living

In tune with the Zeitgeist Movement, this blog, in its creator's own words:

"was started to discuss and share the possibilities and solutions to the problems above [see - ahem - below] . It does this in 2 ways:
  1. Expose and attack corruption caused by the monetary system.
  2. Help to free each and every individual from this corruption by providing solutions based on self sufficiency, sustainability, and technology.

It is therefore quite diverse in its content, but this is for good reason.

As soon as you are dependent on someone else to provide you with shelter, food or energy you leave yourself open to be controlled. This is why this blog contains many resources to help you achieve at least some level of self sufficiency.

The monetary system creates slavery, scarcity, and the devastating consequences of continual consumption. However, technology is finally breaking us free from this corruption.

This blog contains ideas and commentary for bringing about a future of technological abundance and sustainability."

Here are the problems referred to as the blog has it:

"Say what you like about global warming, but in the “west” we are consuming at a rate that is completely unsustainable at the expense of the third world. We are squandering resources, filling up landfills and polluting our only planet.

Closer to home, our politicians fail us at every turn. Our trust in them is tested daily while crime rates soar and nothing ever gets any better. Yet we’re never given a better choice.

We find ourselves subject to ever-increasing crippling taxes, inflation and interest that keep us in perpetual debt. Unemployment rises exponentially as more and more jobs are lost to automation. All while a select few horde all the money and live a life of luxury."
