1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
... deadly riots over the government's plan to avoid defaulting on its loans...

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,000
...is that the unemployment keeps rising

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
and it has to keep rising just because you have an excess supply of goods...

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,700
...this is all borrowed money that our kids will have to repay...

5
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,700
...and that debt is owned by banks in other countries...

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,000
...M-O-N-E-Y, in the form of a convenient personal loan...

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,000
...build a cigarette that delivers the taste and I...

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,500
...are you hot?...

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
...US planning to bomb Iran...

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,800
...sanctioning terror attacks in Iraq...

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
...there's "strong", then there's "army strong"...

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Modern psychology has a word that is probably used

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,000
more than any other word in psychology.

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
It is the word "maladjusted".

15
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,000
Maladjusted.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I would like to say to you today that there are some things in our society

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and some things in our world

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
of which I'm proud to be maladjusted.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,400
And I call upon all men of good will to be maladjusted

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,000
to these things until the good society is realised.

21
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,400
You know, economists are, in fact, not economists at all,

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000
they are propagandists of money value.

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,200
This system is more wasteful

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,000
than all of the other existing systems in the history of the planet.

25
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,700
So, you're really dealing with not an economic system

26
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,200
but, I would go so far as to say, an anti-economic system.

27
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:47,700
The problem we have is essentially the financial money sequence system.

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,400
It's a system disorder and the system disorder seems to be fatal.

29
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,500
There is no profit, under the current paradigm,

30
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,635
in saving lives, putting balance on this planet,

31
00:01:58,677 --> 00:02:01,500
having justice and peace or anything else.

32
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:06,400
Disease supports medicine, it supports doctors and hospitals.

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000
But if you really were able to eliminate most diseases,

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
you would eliminate professions as well.

35
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,000
You have to create problems to create profit.

36
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,300
Crime does create business.

37
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:22,300
We have now roughly 2 million people incarcerated in this country.

38
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,300
Many of them are in prisons run by private corporations

39
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:30,000
who trade their stock on Wall Street based upon how many people are in jail.

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,000
But that's a reflection of the culture in which we live, in which we've all,

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,300
to one degree or another, endorsed.

42
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,070
I think the biggest barrier would be the values

43
00:02:40,107 --> 00:02:43,000
that people are taught to uphold that system.

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,800
At the social level of life organization, it isn't the genetic program, or a genetic defect,

45
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,000
it's a value system disorder.

46
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,300
What you have to understand is that the intellectual culture of a society

47
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,000
actually reflects the power interests in that society; the dominant perspective.

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
In the past, throughout almost all of human history,

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,500
the main threat to human survival was nature.

50
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:07,000
Today it is culture.

51
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:11,000
Not only does structural violence kill more people

52
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
than all the behavioral violence put together,

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,600
structural violence is also the main cause of behavioral violence.

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,500
Some colleagues at Harvard studying this suggested that

55
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:24,465
'inequality' acted as a social pollutant

56
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,200
because it affects almost everyone in society.

57
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:31,800
The immune system can not recognize the invasive cancer

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,500
and it takes over the whole body until the body collapses.

59
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,200
And we're in that spasming, collapsing form now.

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,000
So the system has to be corrected, not print more money and give it to banks.

61
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
That doesn't deal with the problem.

62
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,000
Every level of life organization and life system

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,800
is in a state of crisis and challenge and decay or collapse.

64
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,700
The problems that we have today will continue to go on,

65
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,000
this will never go away within a monetary system.

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,000
It's clear that we're on the verge of a great transition in human life.

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,600
That what we face now is this fundamental change

68
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200
of the life we've known over the last century.

69
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,000
There has to be a link between the economy and the resources of this planet,

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
the resources being, of course,

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,500
all animal and plant life, the health of the oceans and everything else.

72
00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:27,400
This is a monetary paradigm that will not let go until it has killed the last human being.

73
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:34,000
The "in group" will do all it can to stay in power

74
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
and that’s what you gotta keep in mind.

75
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,850
They'll use the army and navy and lies

76
00:04:38,872 --> 00:04:42,500
or whatever they have to use to keep in power.

77
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,000
They are not about to give it up

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
'cause they don’t know of any other system that will perpetuate their kind.

79
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000
