![The Moneyless Society Podcast](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/11806149/_62_B_podcastc_3vq5mi.jpg)
In this diverse and innovative space, we facilitate a highly collaborative, open-minded conversation diving into the issues our society faces today, while being sure to bring corresponding resolution to the forefront . We’re here to address the problems whilst collaborating on visionary solutions, as our increasingly interdependent yet fractured global society struggles through intersecting crises in these unparalleled times of change. The monetary system is at the heart of our society. It touches everything in our lives, it dictates who lives and dies. We believe a bright future for humanity is one without currency. Society is collapsing before our eyes, and there has never been a more vital or exciting opportunity to both come together for the sake of forestalling the end of human life as we know it, while also recreating life on earth as we know it.

Climate Doom vs. Dark Optimism ft. Shaun Chamberlin

Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
"Dark Optimism is, in part, a perspective which is not afraid of seeking the truth — even when that truth is unpalatable or feels overwhelming. By exploring the unknown we can see it for what it is, rather than what we might fear it to be. Where there is darkness present we face it with an indomitable belief in the potential of life and humankind."
Those words are from the website of our friend Shaun Chamberlin, a researcher, writer and activist continuing to carry the torch of giants like Michael Dowd, who brought us the "Post-Doom" philosophy. In this episode we let ourselves look at all the things we MIGHT NOT be able to accomplish in trying to save the world, and sit with what that means for our future. But realism is not pessimism, and seeing with clear eyes allows us to make this life meaningful, no matter where it leads.

Moneyless Society's First Gathering ft. Humans of MoSo
Saturday Jun 22, 2024
Saturday Jun 22, 2024
This month, a group of core Moneyless Society volunteers met up in the scenic mountains of Kentucky to get a firsthand taste of self-sufficient living, discuss the future of the organization, and just generally revel in the company of comrades who have only been able to collaborate digitally for the past few years. During that time, we also recorded a podcast episode meant to introduce the world to a few of the hands helping build the coming transition, and to the larger community and mission making it possible.
Listen in, and reach out to see how you can get involved in bringing about the next economic evolution of our world. We still have a long way to go, and a lot to learn, but if we've learned anything from our experiences so far it's that we have what we need to get there when we put our skills, knowledge, and passions together.

Capitalist Realism vs. Science Fiction ft. Cory Doctorow
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Science fiction is an effective way to put our current reality into context, and helps us imagine what our future might look like. For authors like Cory Doctorow, that fact is extremely useful in getting people to imagine what could be possible in a changed world -- and understand that changing the world IS POSSIBLE.
On today's episode, we dive into all the ways that we give power to authoritarian social systems when we buy into their self-inflating social narratives. And how the people who control those systems deceive us into thinking that they are actually powerful sorcerers who possess obscure, ancient knowledge -- and not, as Doctorow says, just a bunch of charlatans sifting through the guts of a sacrificial goat.

What if there was a way to acquire the things you need in life without having to grovel and scrape for money every day? What if we could instead provide and be provided for by one another -- keeping track of what we've contributed, and what we plan to contribute, without all the fake numbers and resource hoarding?
That's precisely the focus of today's episode. Our guests are a panel of radical thinkers who have each in their own way broken out of the box of the financial status quo, and begun exploring realistic alternative ways to account for need with one another. Listen to learn, and see how you can begin applying these new methods in small ways within your own daily life!

How to Outsmart Economists with System Dynamics ft. Ty Keynes
Wednesday May 08, 2024
Wednesday May 08, 2024
“We know more about black holes now, than we know about interest rates.” That’s Ty Keynes, explaining just how incomprehensible our global financial system actually is. And as a devout practitioner of Systems Dynamics, he has more than put in the legwork to try making sense of the mess. Imagine that you were able to create a model of what will happen in our world, based on the cycles that it tends to follow – that’s more or less what systems dynamics allows us to do. But when applied to capitalist economics, the results are chaos.
They do show one thing clear as day, however: a capitalist system is guaranteed to destroy our biophysical environment at breakneck speed. And it will drag us through cycles of personal and collective misery along the way. By the end of this episode, you’ll see through Ty’s models how closely we can predict the future of our world if we stay the course we’re on currently. And you’ll understand why the most effective remedy for our situation is people making decisions together, and supporting each other on the road back to any kind of sustainable sanity.

Passing the Torch to the Last Generation ft. Noam Chomsky
Wednesday Apr 17, 2024
Wednesday Apr 17, 2024
"There are problems of extreme urgency that will be solved in the near future, or we're finished."
If you're an activist, linguist, or political analyst, then Noam Chomsky needs no introduction. But for anyone unfamiliar, Chomsky has shaped numerous generations of critical minds, and blazed the trail for organizations like ours attempting to change society at a systemic level.
We're thrilled to have him on our show, and to ask what he sees for our future (if we have one) as a new generation of activists take to the front lines. The short is answer is that he believes in us and our chances if we can take this challenge seriously enough, keep our minds open, and do everything in our power to tackle these crises together.
Otherwise, all of the wisdom that he's shared with us will die with us, and the next generation may well be the last.

The Next Evolution of the Venus Project

Utopia isn't some final destination where problems no longer exist -- it's a constantly evolving process of self-evaluation and social cooperation. Jacque Fresco understood that when he and Roxanne Meadows started The Venus Project, introducing so many of us to the idea of a resource-based economy, and the ability to engineer our way out of our crises.
Roxanne joins us on today's episode, along with her colleagues Nate and Theo, to discuss how The Venus Project is evolving today. Much more than a futuristic compound located in Venus, Florida, The Venus Project is like a whole new science being introduced to the world. And the goal of this new science is to harness human ingenuity and collaboration, teaching people to work WITH the nature around them in order to survive and thrive in the face of impending industrial apocalypse.

GAZA FRONTLINES: Ramy & Sobhe Need You to Know What is Happening
Saturday Mar 30, 2024
Saturday Mar 30, 2024
As buildings collapse on top of them, these two young men from Gaza are desperate to tell their story to the world, so that we will recognize and end the brutality their families are experiencing. It is the VERY SAME brutality that sweeps across African cobalt mines, American cop cities, and throughout history wherever there was land to steal and profit to squeeze from the people living there.
Ramy is only 19, and was denied at the border when his family escaped, fleeing to find emergency surgery for his young sister. Sobhe is only 23, and his family was given 10 minutes to evacuate their home before it was bombed in front of them. Both have lost their dearest family members to shelling and stavation, and just want to be freed from this ongoing, hellish, and wholly undeserved punishment.
Take a moment of your day to listen to the story from the mouths of the people living it -- rather than some sanitized and repackaged soundbite from the mainstream media. And donate any amount that you can to their fundraising campaigns linked below. We've already seen families get to safety, or at least get the food they need to survive, with simple campaigns like these. Even sharing their stories on social media improves their chances of being seen and supported, and of the world knowing what is really going on.

GAZA FRONTLINES: Halaa and Mohammad Need Our Help to Escape GENOCIDE
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
WHERE IS THE HUMANITY as we live-stream a genocidal war in Gaza against a captive, innocent people being wiped out by nuclear superpower of Israel, funded by the USA? The hope and humanity is in the people of Gaza themselves and in the response of people who care around the world doing their part to help. Moneyless Society is highlighting the real, heartbreaking, unimaginably horrific stories of regular people living through this nightmare with their families. We brought on Mohamad and Halaa, a doctor and law student to tell us their heart-rending stories of bombing, mass death of family members, and to use our platform to uplift their stories in the hope YOU will help. They're raising the money to buy their freedom, to buy the lives of their family from this monstrous system. They need $7000 a person to get their families out of a war zone, who are mostly sick and elderly or young children. This is a show about finding hope in the wreckage, it is a horrific but inspiring story of human goodness in the face of annihilation, and the amount of hope at the end-- entirely depends on how much YOU the listeners take up this cause and help. Campaigns here, donate and share, not just in social media but directly with people who will help!
