Thank you Chris for this line

Hi there TKS
It is now critical that we develop the vocabulary and taxonomy we need
to understand these systems through and through. In the case of the US
and the EU now, the money systems are now being arrayed against the
home Metropolis in ways normally used against countries and nations

Dear Brett,
in the meantime, there are some not so very difficult things one can do,
or rather: I did and do.
When still living in the USA in the sixties and early seventies, I
worked in a horribly poor area in Southeast Missouri, the northernmost
part of the Mississipi Delta where ordinary f
I agree. I am the system because I know nothing about how it really works.
I look forward to the day when we can all speak about comparative
money systems, with their attendant pros and cons, and social
implications, the way we can describe world cafe, open space, or

Then the syste
Yes. Banks had much to do with what is happening in Zimbabwe. And these days I
have to hear that as *I* have much to do with what is happening in Zim. I
believe we need to work at systems change by remembering how embedded we are in
it. This is why I long ago have up on the idea of neutral facil
Hi Chris,
The first time I saw you was in the circle in San Francisco 2008. Your kids
took part as well and "lived" the law of 2 feet, and shifted from butterflying
to bumble being. Observing this was great : open space life.
Your comments on the list are often a real contribution. So was your

Chris: I appreciate your reflexions and you sharing them with us. Being an
open space facilitator for me makes me change a lot and grow in many ways I
find that it is a progressive transformation of my life in the outside and
in the inside. Opening the space is at the same time so simple and at th

about the law codes that setup these institutions and enforce certain
very narrow behaviors in our banks and corporations. The laws
enforcing corporate behavior and money creation in private hands
extend back to 17th century Engla
I love this. So true.

Well said, Chris. Bravo! I find it is a journey of a lifetime to be open to our
blind spots!

Perhaps the more accurate statement is that bansk are necessary for THIS
economy, but not other forms of economy. The question to ask ourselves is
are we prepared to have THIS economy disappear overnight but having banks
disappear pronto. In 2008, the US government followed by others said "no"

"One thing is that banks are necessary for the development of the economy..."
Banks are not necessary to create money for the economy.
That is one myth we need to get over, pronto!

Dear community.
It's interesting how the video has generated many comments and open a
debate on banks.
We can not forget that the video is publicity, good publicity, very well
done. Fulfills its purpose of seducing. Makes you want to go to the bank
to ask for a loan (a joke). Nothing here is im

Great to see this topic on OSlist. Very very very important for
caring, concerned, and socially engaged people to educate ourselves
about this important and fundamental topic. In fact, there are
alternatives to this system and Sh* does not need to happen quite like
it does. The Sh* is a
Eleder As you may have noticed, we had a few problems with Banks here in
the USA. Some of it was due to outright incompetence, some to criminal greed
and some more to simple mistakes (both honest and stupid). All told it
looked like another day in Human Land with the good, the bad, and the ugly
