Ping - capitalism
I understand that translation can make it difficult for philosophical conversation, so forgive my intrusion and please take this with a grain of salt, but something has been bothering me and I want to hear your opinion. From my experience with your group, among other groups, I have heard many things about why capitalism/(money-based) society does not work and weakens the true exchange of culture and ideas that we (globally) have to offer. I agree wholeheartedly.
Your mission and the way that you achieve it is inspiring to me. I have a challenge/question, however, which has been itching me but our language barrier makes me worry you will misinterpret it as an affront. It is not. There is a NEED for the escape of money-based culture (from what I've seen and experienced with your group(s)), but at every turn MONEY seems to be the main issue (paradox).
Many of you have made it clear that money is not the problem, and you have proved that in how you've treated me and others on the continuing journey through the Americas. The paradox that I've seen is that by disdaining money and the corporate/urban/government residue that comes with it, you seem to end up worrying about money more than is psychologically healthy.
Rephrase: By rejecting money as a driving force you end up worrying about it constantly. How much does X cost? Ok, well what about Y? Spin the wheels a few turns and you end up back with X. Money is real, and is a driving force throughout the developed(ish) world. You know that better than I do. If money means nothing, then GIVE IT AWAY. Thanks.
