Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 bit short. but interesting. i'm intrigued by these sorts of people and people who live in their cars. here's his blog: http://zerocurrency.blogspot.com/ i think sounds like there is a documentary about him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 There's something odd about someone who lives in a cave yet has a blog. Doesn't participating on the internet make him part of what he tries to avoid? It begins with a blog but then he thinks 'hey if I get an iPhone I won't have to leave my cave to update my blog' then before you know it he's sitting in a starbucks writing a book about how he used to live. Shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theSun Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 the whole "money isn't real" argument is interesting but i think it's kind of silly. your $20 bill may not be useful as a $20 bill, but shit it's a lot easier to carry around money than things that are actually of value to you, like musical equipment and bags of apples. it's assumed that the money you possess is indicative of the amount of work you've put into the society. of course it's not always like that, paris hilton etc, but that's just how it is. with such a complicated system there's bound to be a large number of people getting off better than they should, and also many people who put in a lot of hard work and get fuck all.

chenGOD Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wish I could find the BBC Music article about the pianist Maria-João Pires. She's an amazing pianist who lives on a farm in Brazil, runs everything there through trade. You can go study with her, but you have to work on the farm. She uses the money she earns from performing concerts to develop the land (she grows olives and makes olive oil). Totally self-sufficient.That's making a difference. (she also calls classical audiences in france and italy philistines, fucking straight up lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tec Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I had a similar idea to this guy once when I was off my tits on mushrooms after a rave, miles from home with a large inviting forest looming ahead of me. If it wasn't for a fairly sober friend chances are I would still be living there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest analogue wings Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 some friends of mine own a property in the country. none of them has worked in years. they pay the mortgage from their benefit payments. there was a 60 minutes story on them a few years ago, lots of moral outrage that these people who had been given money from the government to tide them over until they find a job should instead invest said money in property. cos you know, who wants benefit sucking parasites to think carefully about their finances and plan for the future?
