Free Energy and Societal Outcomes

Electricity Trajectories and Free Energy #2

From the first post:

The conspiracy goes like this: dozens of inventors over the years have created Free Energy systems, and the plutocracy/ oligarchy/ global elite has squashed them. This was done in order to maintain the money and power gained by controlling oil or natural resources. If these free energy systems were allowed to flourish, we’d have perfect peace and prosperity world-wide.

The assumptions in this theory are:

• Free energy devices will be easy to make and replicate

• Materials will be widely available and won’t require mining

• The source of our conflict as a species is lack of sufficient energy

• The cause of poverty is lack of sufficient energy

• We could all spend our time being better people if we just had free energy

Taking these one at a time:

Assumption: Free Energy Devices will be easy to make and replicate

This is most likely untrue. Those of us who have been looking at the free energy realm on the internet see pictures of devices that are made in someone’s garage or basement. If these were functional, it would be dramatically easier to replicate than say, an iphone. The idea that there are zero good samaritans in the entire world who have the brilliance to reverse engineer a device and also post the design to the internet? Hard to believe.

Assumption: Materials will be widely available

Reading the notes about Thomas Henry Moray, you find that he appeared to be using a material that he did not understand, and could not get more of.

Keely was also unable to replicate his results if he wasn’t in the room. According to Steiner, this was because it was Keely’s own spiritual forces that were participating in the phase shift.

Assumption: the source of our conflict is scarcity of energy

Then why, in a day and age where middle class western people have the ability and income to travel around the world in 24 hours, has conflict not subsided? If access to more energy = less conflict, our world should have less conflict then it did a century ago. On an economic basis, access to energy is less expensive than it was a hundred years ago, and access to computing power is orders of magnitude less.

Assumption: the cause of poverty is lack of sufficient energy

Again, the costs of energy and information have decreased dramatically, including for people in objectively poor regions. I don’t want to go through the arguments, but I believe the cause of poverty is societal and cultural.

Moreover, much as would happen in a rollout of Universal Basic Income (UBI), and as we saw actually play out with stimulus money printing during COVID - adding (fiat) money to a system only devalues the currency. People who favor the idea of UBI hold the false belief that it is possible for that sort of money printing to co-exist with a fiat currency. Now, if the currency were fixed (i.e. not fiat, such as Bitcoin or gold) it is possible that a UBI scenario would not just devalue everyone’s money. But that’s not the system we have.

Now analogize that over to energy: if, magically, free energy devices were available to everyone in the world it would make it so that the most impoverished people in the world could cook, heat, light, and communicate with greater ease. But it would not standardize or level the economic playing field.

Finally, AI fanboys continue to forget about all the tasks that humans do that “free energy” won’t alleviate. Such as cleaning bathrooms. Sewing clothing. Cleaning teeth. Cooking food. These tasks are, apparently, very difficult/ undesirable to have machines do.

I’ve long said that if someone could come up with a robot that would actually clean a toilet, every middle class house in this country would probably buy it. And why hasn’t this happened? A toilet is a pretty standard object.

Because most of my experience is with clothing construction and manufacturing, I know this intimately: while it is possible to standardize clothing and make it by machine (without much human input) the costs of doing so generally do not make it worth it in the market. It has proven out that humans prefer variety in their clothing, and it is still cheaper to buy made-in-the-usa clothing (sewn by human beings) than to buy machine loomed goods. You probably own some items that weren’t made by people directly. They are socks and pantyhose.

I’ve met plenty of highly intelligent people who still don’t understand how clothing is made and why humans are still sitting at sewing machines in the USA.

Assumption: we would all spend our time being better people if we had access to free energy

Based on assumption #3, where almost everyone in developed nations has access to more abundant energy and information resource than at any time in recorded history, why would we think we would jointly develop into a higher spiritual level?

It’s a misunderstanding of cause and effect.

Simply, if we as a human group were spiritually more developed, it would not be possible for oligarchs and plutocracies to arise, and block free energy systems or other cultural freedoms. Stop blaming others.
