#1 Good find Sea, A Belgium ex-Central Banker advocating development of the Black Economy that will further decrease government revenues. As Belgium has the world's most indebted government as a %age of GDP, I'll assume he got fired for voicing these views. Didn't read the whole thing BTW.

SARAH: Wow! So if greed and scarcity are the shadows, what does the Great Mother archetype herself represent in terms of economics?

BERNARD: Let's first distinguish between the Goddess, who represented all aspects of the Divine, and the Great Mother, who specifically symbolizes planet Earth - fertility, nature, the flow of abundance in all aspects of life. Someone who has assimilated the Great Mother archetype trusts in the abundance of the universe.

Why does anyone take these people seriously?

#3 My archetype can beat up your archetype, Bernard.

Sarah, you're just a tool.

Amazing drivel.

#4 "local currencies" = barter economy
They still haven't realized that simply changing the nomenclature doesn't inherently make a thing different from what it was, or better.
