A world without money | Jade Saab | TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh

[ausphilreid]

A world driven by passion & love instead of survival and fear

[ginnikaur]

I'm in tears... It feels so good to realise that you're not alone thinking against the way usually everyone does! ♡

[jellewierda]

The world without money is not extreme. The world WITH money is extreme!!!

[skeleteleton]

Imagine if society evolved from a foundation of cooperation rather than competition.

[BrightLight]

A world without money is the next stage of our evolution and its coming.

The education systems would see a huge difference if money wasn’t an issue. Many teachers love to teach but are limited because of money. This is something that needs to be addressed even in a capitalist society . But in a world without money, we would see tremendous improvements in our educational system.

[oshynzahraajessica]

I truly believe that if all of my families and my needs are met, I would be so much more involved with society and would go above and beyond with helping fellow man kind.
I would truly have a better, different life that would be healthier than now.

[Slicked]

I wish more people knew how humanity doesn't need money to grow and cooperate

[trevormasterson]

Its very difficult to explain these concepts to everyday people and I thought this was a very concise and eloquent presentation. Essentially this is the same futurist vision that Jacque Fresco set out as The Venus Project decades ago. There's needs to be a higher platform that like minded people can voice this message from so that its shared and developed quicker.

[pepsiconcola]

I didn't expect someone having the same vision as me about the ideal society. I feel a little bit better now.

[colleencant]

Wonderful, I couldn't have put it better myself! For years I've been telling peole we can live without money, I have ideas and dreams about it but I've only ever been laughed at in the face. Thank you, this has given me hope.

[popcultureoverdosed]

This is the type of world that NEEDS to happen. We shouldn't have our worths decided by paper bills. Without money, we could be free to truly live our best lives and be more emphatic to others.

[nightowlnativeflute]

The fact that this video only has a little over 2, 000 views and very few comments is an indication that people aren’t ready to move forward with such an idea. If this was a video on Kim Kardashian or JayZ then it would have over a million views and thousands of comments. It’s a shame 😕

[nightowlnativeflute]

It’s kind of ironic but the some of the Native Americans tribes lived in a society where currency didn’t exist.

The history of Native American and currency is a fascinating one. Many American Indians had quite sophisticated forms of trade and currency, whereas other tribes, such as the Inca in Peru, managed to develop a complex and advanced civilization without money. It wasn’t until the Europeans came and dismantled this way of living.

[hawkcybergear]

This is above all my favorite Ted Talk ever.

[Luchoedge]

such a relief to hear what I've been thinking for years now, and realizing I'm not alone in these thoughts!

[jwatkins]

Absolutely. Money is now the most limiting factor to fulfill our collective human potential and needs to go for us to become a type II civilization. At the root as mentioned is the feeling of indebtedness, giver and receiver. Hard to overcome without seeing oneself as having no self, but maybe there's a way...hopeful.

[themateus]

I love it, this kind os thinking is trully necessary is not a utopia, is our survivor in question.

[godnotavailable]

This guy perfectly puts into words what's been on my mind these past few days, given how bad inflation is right now.

[colinwalpole]

Hello Jade, My Name is Colin Walpole. I have only just discovered this video, well done and congratulations. In 2017 I wrote and published 'A World without Money or Politicians' and in 2018 'The Lives and Deaths and Terry Toft', a novel set in the future, where there is no money. You can't understand how pleasing it is to know that I'm not alone in my thoughts of a fairer society. I am currently working on another book on the same subject. Thank you.
