Facebook … the New “BarnYard”, But Not One For Billionaires!

Ever had a job in the BARN YARD … trying to catch sheep, herd cattle or god forbid try catching pigs or chickens?

There is so much going on and only the experienced farm hand actually gets anything done that’s worthwhile while everyone else runs around expending lots and lots of energy getting sweaty and looking forward to a long cool drink.

Almost two decades ago I participated in a course called Money & You and we played lots of games, including one called the “Barn Yard Game”. It was noisy … there were people yelling, music playing and it was hard to think.

I mean it’s not easy to think at the best of times is it? One of Henry Ford’s famous sayings is “Thinking is one of the most difficult tasks there is, that’s why so few people participate in it.”

Well when people are telling at you this, and telling you that … suggesting we do this, inviting me to do that, it’s even harder to think.

So my strategy with Facebook and I do enjoy the part of catching up with family goings on, is that I now logon, have a look round and then log off.

I am staggered how much time some people spend on Facebook … it’s now the Web’s Ultimate TIME SINK and it’s growing by the month.

Evidently there is some growing disquiet around Facebook and like others I am seriously considering erasing (if that’s possible) my account … and simply staying with the healthy, green networks I belong to including Your Healthy Planet.com of course.

I honestly doubt that the future billionaires, the people who are leading the conversations towards growing a healthy, green and sustainable future spend too much time on Facebook … chances are they have leveraged that out as well.

Is Politics Relevant to Your Future on Planet Earth?

Australia has just terminated Kevin Rudd as it’s prime minister and replaced him with Julia Gillard as Australia’s first ever female prime minister, but what relevance does that event really have?

“Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to final moment. The race is between a better informed, hopefully inspired young  world versus a running scared, misinformedly brain-conditioned, older world. Humanity is in “final exam” as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe as mind, with the latter’s access to the design laws —called by science “the generalized principles” —governing eternally regenerative Universe.”

“Human minds have a unique cosmic function not identifiable with any other phenomenon—the capability to act as local Universe information-harvesters and local problem solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, xxxvi Introduction to Critical Path, c1981.

R Buckminster Fuller According to R Buckminster Fuller, considered by many as one of the most important humans of the twentieth century (c1895 – 1983) politics would be irrelevant by the year 2,000AD. Fuller made some fifty predictions throughout his lifetime, and this was one of only two that did not come true.

The other prediction was that poverty and hunger would no longer exist by 2,000AD and yet one billion people will go hungry today.

There have been many assertions that politics and ‘big business’ are one in the same, that they work together for mutual gain. In Australia we have seen a number of Prime Ministers take a ‘stand’ on issues that they believed were in the interest of the country, like taxation reform, health care, a resources tax and others … and do that at their peril.

Invariably the “power brokers” have their way and often one persons political career is ended.

These people of  integrity cannot back down, or take a side step. It is not in their making and we have seen that today in Australia as the prime ‘ministership’ changed hands.

What alternative do we have to a political machine?

Solar Is A Life Saver! More Than You Know!

And SOLAR is much easier than you think … as you will see in the following article by Barbara Young. But first consider the following …

“In general we have the capability, which can be fully realized within ten years, of producing and sustaining a higher standard of living for all humanity than that heretofore experienced or dreamt of by any.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path (p199) c 1981

Imagine being paid a substantial income every day … more than you currently believe possible, and imagine that you are receiving that income courtesy of an ‘individual’ who already provides for all life on planet Earth, and has done so since time began; that individual being your SUN.

Solar energy for everything ...

Located a safe 93 million miles (149 million kms) away from the nearest protoplasm the sun provides enough clean natural energy in one day to power the entire United States of America for the entire year and a half.

Simply by capturing five days worth of radiant energy we would provide sufficient energy for the entire world population … and it is entirely conceivable that “cosmic accounting” may indeed be the natural accounting system of our solar system.

Our streets have been ‘paved’ (lit up) with ‘gold’ and we have literally ‘walked on by’ without really giving it a second thought.

Is it any wonder that our ‘made up accounting system’, which is based on a paradigm that is no longer true today, (that there is scarcity on our planet – due to advances in technology this has not been the case for some forty years now) is about to either implode or explode. Thankfully nature has an inbuilt safety factor that is extremely generous by any conservative engineers judgment. Read the rest of this entry »

Is Warren Buffet’s Money Wealth, Or A Liability?

The definition of “wealth” according to Buckminster Fuller is “the number of days forward you can continue to live (at your current standard of living) if you stopped working today”.

In many developed countries, including Australia and the United States the wealth of an average person today is a matter of days, or weeks … in other words while they generally own a house and a car plus other possessions they must keep on working to continue to enjoy them. If they lost their employment the vast majority would have to spend their savings, sell some possessions or even downsize their house and lifestyle very quickly to survive.

Warren Buffet is in the media a lot, and at 79 years of age many articles about him focus attention on his 2006 pledge to give 99% of his assets to charity, particularly through the Bill Gates Foundation. Doing so, he said in a recent letter on Fortune’s website, would leave his lifestyle “untouched”. Read the rest of this entry »

How Can You Benefit By Creating Your Healthy Planet.com?

Amazing Tesla S Sedan

Ever heard the saying “You must start with the end in mind”?

Owning a Tesla S Electric Plug-in sedan would be a wonderful start wouldn’t it! No emissions electric vehicles will soon be a regular site on roads all around the world.

To create a healthy, sustainable and abundant planet for everyone to enjoy we must first develop a clear picture of what that looks like, and then we must keep that picture in mind … some people I know call that “stiletto heeled focus”.  It must also be a “global picture”.

It is obvious today that the vast majority of people are kept so busy simply trying ‘to make ends meet’ that they rarely have a chance to look at the bigger global picture, (except for what they see on the television) let alone attempt to understand it. But in reality it isn’t that difficult to understand once you become a little bit informed and you realize one CRITICAL FACT.

That critical fact is that THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE on planet Earth … and thanks to technology it has been that way now for some forty (40) years or more, and again thanks to technology it is becoming more and more obvious that we can indeed look after everyone at a very high standard of living, whilst at the same time repairing the damage we have incurred to mother earth.

“The success of all humanity can be accomplished only by a terrestrially comprehensive, technologically competent design revolution. This revolution must develop artifacts whose energy-use efficiency not only occasions the artifacts’ spontaneous adoption by humanity, but therewith also occasions the inadvertent, unregretted abandonment and permanent obsolescence of socially and economically undesirable viewpoints, customs and practices.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, p199 Critical Path c1981.

Your Healthy Planet.com is one such example of an artifact designed to conserve energy while producing exceptional results through it’s use in particular of cooperation and synergy. Imagine 5 million individuals, businesses, sporting and social clubs and groups working together, each one having a small but essential impact on our global realization of a healthy, green and sustainable future.

Your Healthy Planet.com's NEW Member's club and advertising directing is launching soon.

Competition of course can only exist when ‘scarcity’ exists, whether real or implied. Traditional marketing still in place today thrives on competition and the “it’s gotta be you or me” belief system. But it doesn’t stop there does it!  Competition itself is the basis of much of our economic system, which again is driven by Malthusian-ism … an economic paradigm from the early nineteenth century, kept in place by ignorance, greed and selfishness.

There is of course no more futile example of “competition” than the game of war … again, the advantaging going to the most technologically advanced side.

Yet ‘Bucky’ Fuller could also see that the developments or weaponry of modern warfare could, and he emphasized the fact that it was definitely “touch and go” if we as individuals would let go of our concerns for protecting our jobs or our individual ‘rites’ to certain benefits such that a global willingness would prevail and our global investment in “killingry” would almost overnight be transformed into “livingry”.

The World Game that Fuller envisioned was to be a place where individuals or teams of people came and competed, or cooperated, to:

“Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”

Your Healthy Planet.com sees a future full of health, wealth, joy and abundance and its context of abundance ensures that it must and can only happen and include everyone.

If this is the future that you want to see for you, your children and their children’s children come on-board today and invest a little in a Founding Advertising subscription from only ten dollars a month, you will be glad you did.

Is Money Destroying Our World?

My mentor is a great departed American R Buckminster Fuller whom we are all starting to hear more and more about. Considered by many as one of  the most important humans of the 20th Century he invested the last 55 years of his life seeking to make human beings a physical success on this beautiful planet.

He was clear that it was absolutely possible, and he was equally clear that you can’t make money and sense at the same time, they are mutually exclusive.

As a close colleague of Henry Ford senior Fuller designed and built an amazing Dimaxion car (see video below) and his Dimaxion house that took 15 minutes to complete all the housework … and this was in 1930’s.

Fuller’s intention with his designs was to “to make sense” and provide an artifact that helped humanity become a physical success on planet earth, not to just make money.  Speaking of making sense reminds me of an article I saw short time ago where Volkswagen gave their design engineers a task to deign a small fuel efficient car capable of achieving 500mpg I think the figure was. The designers took on the task, and the result a car that never reached the production line but exceeded the deign brief by achieving  1,000mpg I think the figure was.

Fuller also said that the vast majority of people are being what he called ‘unevidently selfish’ … i.e. we look like we care, but underneath we’re actually improving ‘our lot’ even at the expense of others which means we do not believe or do not understand there is plenty, in fact an incredible abundance for everyone.

And the critical point is that since around 1970 this is no longer integrity, i.e. it no longer works.

Today we spend over 2 1/2 times the amount of money we need to provide a very high standard of living for everyone on our planet, just to ensure that the naughty, the bad, the wrong person doesn’t get more than they should.  Sounds insane that we are spending more than 2 1/2 times more money so that we don’t have what we all want.

In 1952 Fuller declared that we now had the resources and the know how to provide for every human being on earth at a very high standard of living. He actually saw that this was quickly becoming possible in 1917.

“Being a technologist and US Navy officer of the line in World War I, I realized back in 1917 that
the possibility of doing progressively ever more with ever less might mean that at some not too distant date we might attain such a magnitude of accomplishing more work with so much less resources that we would be able to take care of all humanity at an unprecedentedly high standard of living.”
— R Buckmister Fuller. p111, Cosmography c1983

This was then proven in 1971 by a group of some 1600 International Scientists, that for the first time in history we had the capacity to provide for everyone of earth. Fuller also said that when we actually understand that, and we start working cooperatively rather than competing,  we will create 4.5 billion billionaires (c1970).

Today that could equate to ten billion billionaires (http://10billionbillionaires.org), and one of the design goals of Your Healthy Planet.com’s cooperative marketing place which is getting closer and closer to it’s launch.

“If you were spending one thousand dollars a day and you had one million dollars to spend you would last approx 3 1/3 years …. BUT if you had one billion dollars and spent one thousand dollars a day it would take you 3,300 years to run out of money. There’s a BIG difference between one million and one billion dollars.” — you can do the maths.

What do Warren Buffett and Bucky Fuller Have In Common?

Warren Buffet, sometimes ‘wealthiest person’ on our planet … and R Buckminster Fuller, sometimes called the “gentle genius” and “grandfather of the Universe” who often was penniless? What do they have in common?

Initially I thought NOTHING in common, then I thought of a program I saw years ago that looked at Warren Buffett’s life, his business Berkshire Hathaway in particular of which he is Chairman, and his philosophy of success.

This morning I was looking at some of those philosophies and how we could apply some to Your Healthy Planet.com and it’s Ethical Marketplace. The one in particular is that Warren and his business partner have never taken a salary at all and have become two of the wealthiest men in the world from the dividends they earn.

At Your Healthy Planet.com we are doing the same. As the Founding Member and CEO I earn my reward income the same way every other member does and that is the way it will stay. Imagine if we can bring on-board healthy marketing consultants, healthy copy writers, healthy financial planners et al who similarly love what hey are doing and are financially supported by the structure.  It means more profits to go into building holistic education centers worldwide.

How’s This For Abundance – 7 Hours and Your House Is Up!

Watch this brief 2 minute video of Buckminster Fuller’s house being erected and see how long it takes …

The house took just seven hours to put up … and yes, I don’t believe there is one square element to the house. Squares you see don’t exist in nature. The design for the original Dimaxion home was completed during early 1930′s and prototypes actually built by Beech Aircraft in 1944 in an attempt to employ people after WWII, but if failed because of a “scarcity consciousness”.Back in the 1970′s Buckminster Fuller said that most people were in fact living as slaves, with little if any freedom. Many similar assessments have been made by other notable people in recent times.

Fuller also said that power structures use the “divide to conquer, keep divided to keep conquered” philosophy and they still do.  Those who have distinguished that fact are 90% of the way to being FREE.

Simply by distinguishing something exists provides you with the option … I will or I won’t, however most people still appear unaware. Before Fuller’s death in 1983 he had said that one of the most IMPORTANT messages to get out to people is the fact that our planet has the capacity to provide a high standard of living for everyone … that “you or me” is no longer integrity, but only “you and me”.
