whether or not to believe the universe is
friendly.”
Albert Einstein

Fiction + Fact = Fiction
Food = Life Almost Money = Everything…=
Many adults' life experience supports the fiction
Agreement on the facts

Ecology Matters!
New Oil Fields, Ozone
Layer, Rainforests,
Climate, Soil... = $??????
Money = Almost Everything...
Depletion of the ecosphere revealing the fallacy

Barter
Swapping goods without money

Selling = Reverse of Buying
Cash payoff ends the relationship.

Buying + Selling ≠ Barter
Buying & Selling costs extra, since it needs money...

Debt-Backed Money
People borrow money from
Banks...by promising to
repay it with extra money
later.

Financial Sector
Money carries an interest charge.

Giving
Foodsharing is the primordial act of altruism,
a natural reaction to abundance.

Giving Back
Reciprocal altruism occurs even between different species!

Barter ≠ Giving & Regiving
A subtle but essential difference.
A barter is a pair of gifts without the trust.

“Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate
theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by
accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest
values.”Abraham Maslow

Telephone Dilemma
Would you call back if your friend asked?
...Your wife?...Your Mum?
Mobile Landline = €0.07/minute
Landline Mobile = €0.03/minute
Someone rings your mobile,
and requests you call back to save them money.
