There are two things in history that have recently happened. If we don't acknowledge the change that it has had on our society and start to readjust, the whole fabric of humanity will fall apart and anarchy will follow. If it hasn't already begun. And to trace these two changes back, you have to look at the history of the last 100.
First of all the history of education, how education was formalized 150 years ago. And how that formation of a formalized education left people no longer working within an instinct. Within their purpose within a structure of necessity, real-life skills, doing real-life things. We got sidetracked into what I can only describe as a factory to make factory workers.
We were trained to obey, to listen, to authority that getting an a and memorizing things and doing labours tasks was the most important thing we need to get back to the original reason. That we self-educate to fit within an ecosystem that needs the skills that we have. The second thing that has dramatically changed is the way we're no longer tribal.
We're not tribal in the way that we are meant to be original. When we were working together in open fields, where we all built homes together or caves, we all had a role to play. We would help each other. No one would sleep outside. There was no such thing as homeless. We've gone back in. When homelessness is part of the vocabulary, how has this happened?
Well, I basically put it down to the beginnings of banking. When the banks were invented when they were being created by the very people that across this problem, they wanted the banks to lend lots of money and almost make people work for the banks and the institutions that created them. And part of that structure was a mortgage.
It was almost like your destiny to buy a home suddenly, and that you should get into debt and buy that washing machine that you don't need, or that car that shows your status, and suddenly the image of what was important, shifted from community and friendship and connection to what we have social media, isn't actually to blame for this social.
Media's just a product, an outcome of some of the steps that were taken in the early days of banking. Now we all live in separate homes. We have our stuff. We're no longer thinking about the person at the end of our street that's homeless that has no food. We're thinking I want to make sure I'm okay.
And therein lies, the two biggest problems created in recent history. If we don't address, first of all, the need to be back to our tribal instincts and help each other and learn to reimagine education, to not control us, but to free us, financial literacy, understanding how the financial system works, thinking about how it's possible to give people purpose, teach people what purpose is, teach people that taking a risk and going out and hunting is the fun piece of life. Not waiting in the cave for someone to bring you a fish. And when you want another fish, Begging them to give you one and they'll review you in three months and let you know, if you will, you are in control of your own destiny.
We need to unplug people from the system that has been engineered. Even money itself has been created as the holy grail in modern society of success. When of course anyone that's successful will tell you money. Doesn't buy you happiness, in fact, it only makes you happy if you're already happy. So how do you get happy?
We go back to our basic instincts. We care about each other. We start realizing that we have a purpose and we're not meant to chase an immaterial, pointless product, like money.
