Addressing Roy Childs’ 1969 Open Letter to Ayn Rand
A frenemy of Mine sent Me a link the Roy Childs’ open letter to Ayn Rand from back in 1969. He is fully aware that I take the stance that We no longer need to account for Our energy added into a system – that it is an archaic practice and a very dangerous one at that. His stance is that We need money… He and I are both “an” but He is “cap and I’m “ab.” I will explain below.
This is the link I was sent:

My frenemy – I’ll call Him “Fred” – is an anarco-capitalist, wanting to see an anarchy with free market capitalism. An “ancap.” I am an anarcho-abundancist, wanting to see anarchy with no need for money, where We all live as richly as We choose.
And where there is no “authority” even created by having enough money to pay for it.
In reading the piece, it is very clear that Roy and I agree on the issue of controlmind (“government”) – either there is one or there isn’t. You can’t have “limited” controlmind. In theory, the US controlmind was to be limited – but as We can see, any controlmind will expand. The psychopaths drawn to the power of a controlmind will create “problems,” manage the “reactions,” and sell “solutions” that give Them more power.
I tend to avoid the term “voluntaryism,” because that is associated with making money, although, in abundancism, all work is voluntary that is done by Humans, but it is done because People want to do the work – They love the work, or it Ethically solves a problem that is affecting Them. Either way, no monetary motive is needed.
With the advent of robotics, cajoling People into doing work They don’t want to do becomes unnecessary. The work no One wants to do is boring, repetitive, noncreative. And that is the work robots do best.
Then there are all the “jobs” in Our society that deal with moving money. Overall, they merely move the flow upwards to the psychopaths at the top (promoted there by money – see Why Does Money Promote Psychopaths? below). About 80% of the “jobs” out there are ones that push the gelt upwards.
Given that, without 80% doing things that need to be done for society to function – food production, infrastructure, transportation, textile creation, tool manufacturing, etc. – We have plenty (though Most cannot afford all They want, and plenty cannot afford what They need; food is discarded, having spoiled before sale leaving Many hungry that would not be if They had had access to the food when fresh), it is clear that We don’t need 80% of Us working.
Cashiers, sales, accounting, marketing, advertising, tax collecting, debt collecting, casinos, insurance, Wall Street, banking, politics. With no need for money in a society of Ethical sovereigns, these jobs are pointless.
And that means that plenty of Us will be available to help solve problems Ethically as they arise.
It means that We can return to families – something the moneyed psychopaths are working to destroy. We can spend time doing what We love to do with the Ones We love. We can go on adventures, learn things, join with other families on projects, live Our lives to the fullest. Fulfill Our potential.
Quoting from the letter:
We "younger advocates of freedom," incidentally, are not "befuddled" by our anarchist theory. The theory which we advocate is not called "competing governments," of course, since a government is a coercive monopoly. We advocate competing agencies of protection, defense, and retaliation; in short, we claim that the free market can supply all of man's needs – including the protection and defense of his values.
Here is where the money matter is starkest. In a society where Humanity is all living richly, having all We need and most of what We want, protection and defense of values (and valuables) becomes virtually unnecessary. Though there theoretically could be some unique thing that One owns and anOther wants it bad enough to choose the unEthical behavior of stealing it, this would be a very rare event. With most things, they will be available freely.
This would be a problem that taking the thief out of social circulation (jailing Him/Her) would solve for.
With the Betterment Ethic in place of the slave’s creed, the work “ethic” – work really hard and You will, in highest probability, scrape by until You die – We will seek to better things for One anOther, large ways and small.
All Ethical values will be protected – You can do anything You choose as long as it is Ethical. Anything that breaks the Laws of Ethics – Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do – are open to Ethical consequences, but all else is Yours to do if You choose.
And all who care may solve for One that has broken the Laws.
Of course, when money is in the mix, the motive to break the Laws rises to extreme heights. Because money use ensures poverty (We cannot All succeed – only a fraction can), plenty will be motivated to steal, rob, thieve, lie, cheat, dupe, burgle, embezzle, bilk, &tc. And then, “protection” is a needed thing.
And in a moneyed society, the psychopaths promoted to the top, even in an anarchy, can pay Others to do Their dirty work. Bribing and paying hush money, buying Others to kill competition, and otherwise creating an “authority” of money. To be truly free, an anarcho-abundancist society is vastly better than an ancap society.
Overall, I agree with Roy Childs. Relinquishing Our sovereignty to anOther(s) will only lead to Us being brutally controlled, and controlminds are not required. I just heavily dispute the “perfection” of capitalism.
Fred, My frenemy, is in lust with money, which I don’t grasp at all. Why retain a tool that promotes psychopaths to the top, allows all kinds unEthical things (because People can be paid off), pushes Most into poverty and desperation, and allows a “controlmind” of sorts of the Ones with the most money and agendas?
Who can buy and control all avenues of information flow, buy all “medical” research and facilities, schools and publishing, food production, water suppliers, and on and on, making Us subject to Their whims and agendas…
No need for a controlmind when You have trillions You can use to buy the behaviors You want.
Why retain that tool when it is archaic? When We have the technology to end the need to account for Our energy added? Yes, the moneyed Ones have hidden and suppressed the technologies that offer free energy access, making accounting for Our energy – irrespective of token, from eggs and hair cuts (trade/barter) to electronic bits – quite pointless.
Even if We ended “fiat” setups, the psychopaths presently in control own nigh all the “precious” metals, and would still be able to pull strings. They could still buy all the People They use. All the things They use. And the foundational problem that money creates – psychopaths in control – will not be solved for.
Just imagine what a better world We would have if We all were living richly, not worried about finding some way to plug Our energy in to receive the tokens to worry about food/clothing/shelter for the moneyed “masters” so as to survive. Just imagine the freedom in doing what You love to do, for the social lauds You receive.
Imagine families learning, loving, exploring together.
Imagine a world without the need for money or controlmind. And grasp that We can create it for All. We just need to wrest the technologies the psychopaths hide from Their grip. And to that end I have offered what I know of one such technology, and I will hope You have the wherewithal to experiment and share successes freely.
Sadly, I do not.
As My regular readers know, I ask for no money as payment for My work for Humanity. I ask for payment in shares. Please, if You feel My work has value, share with ten or more People. This will be the only way the information is spread.

The Abundance Paradigm – A Novella by Amaterasu Solar

My father taught Me never to believe anything. He told Me to place probabilities and adjust them as new data come along, asking the question, "Does that explain what I see?," when evaluating data. He was an aerospace engineer, and worked with T Townsend Brown (see My featured vid on Odysee or YouToilet). From a very early age I was concerned that the way I was told things worked, in terms of government and social affairs, did not explain what I saw. So the first few decades I worked to determine WHY this was.
I wound up in banking, seeing the flow of things in the headquarters of a major bank in Los Angeles. I became intimately familiar with the flow of money, and economics. I asked the question, "Why do We use money?"
When the web arrived, My research capabilities flourished, and I learned much that explained what I saw, but the only explanations I found for why We use money started with trade and barter, which are still money in a direct form, and did not answer the WHY. Then, I came upon the explanation that these were used because, with a finite amount of stuff, it was to ensure that We got Our "fair share" in a scarcity environment, in exchange for the work We added.
From this I realized the WHY. We were accounting for Our energy input into things. And that We needed to do this because the Human energy was scarce compared to what We needed to be produced (back then).
I also discovered that over half Our planet's wealth was "owned" by fewer than 100 Humans...
I was very interested in psychology, too. And studied it deeply, being fascinated by psychopathy, focusing on that aberration, learning that They had discovered a gene that manifested Individuals who were incapable of love, compassion, caring, and empathy for Others – primary psychopaths. Seeing that the wealth was so disproportionate, and that the families who "owned" it inbred, what would explain what I saw would be that They wanted to retain that psychopathic gene. Given that the wealth could feed, clothe, house ALL of Us (and give Us freedom) abundantly and many times over, and yet None set forth to care for Humanity, I had to give probability approaching 100% that They are psychopaths, as that explains perfectly what I see, and answers My quest for why the way I was told things worked did not explain what I saw.
And I asked... If I was a psychopath, with enough wealth to buy anything and anyOne I wanted to, and given that money = power (power over Others is something psychopaths seek), would I be motivated to create a false "reality" for the masses and thereby manipulate Them? I think You can figure out what answer I came up with. And would that explain what I see? Absolutely.
Now, given that money is merely the accounting token used to account for Our Human energy, it would follow that free energy would threaten fully the accounting for Our energy. If I was a psychopath, with enough money to buy sites like Wikipedia, the media, the education system, etc., would I do all I could to suppress and hide free energy?
And given I personally know that electrogravitics offers both gravity control and energy from the aether (the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe), and that it went into black projects, such efforts to hide and suppress would explain what I see completely.
So I am neither a "conspiracy theorist," nor am I a "conspiritard," but rather... I am a conspiracy analyst. And given this analysis, knowing that conspiracies are the NORM in history and that they didn't just stop some years back, I conclude that conspiracies abound. That explains perfectly what I see.
Love always.
An-crap is a thing, that thing is an oxymoron.

My question for him is can he debunk the math in chapter 9.
I agree. You cannot have anarchy and money/power over Others. Good point!!!!
