A resource Based Economy and the Obsolescence of Money

There are just as many closed minds in the lunatic fringe

In some cases I agree with you but the people at the forefront of the zeitgeist movement are not closed minded at all. On the contrary, it is their tendency toward open minded thinking that led them to the concept in the first place.

The problem with the concept of applying the label "lunatic fringe" on anyone or any group is that the "lunatic fringe" of today sometimes becomes the genius of tomorrow. When you go back in history most of our highly revered innovators in science and technology were similarly ridiculed be their contemporaries. Old ideas are hard to shed. It's hard to let go of that which we are taught to cherish however empirically wrong or illogical it may be.

There will be a time in the future, as long as we don't annihilate each other first, when our current culture is considered, among other things, immature and lunatic. We live in a culture that glorifies violence and greed and then when someone kills for monetary gain we are shocked.

I'm just curious, what part of the concept that was presented would you consider lunacy and why?
