Explain with carrots

From time to time, explaining the principles of the OM (Open Money) system, no, no, and I will hear: “This is all, of course, excellent, only your idea is at best difficult to implement, and at worst is simply utopian.”

To dispel such doubts, I will explain the benefits of the OM system with a practical example.

Imagine that we have a vegetable garden. Someone digs carrots on it, someone takes it, someone takes it to the market for sale, someone cooks food from this very carrot ─ In general, everyone is busy with business.as a result, ten carrots are dug up, and only five or six are sold – 50-60% of the total volume, which, of course, is bad affects everyone who works in the garden. It is obvious that such a device of a garden society outrages all participants in carrot relations. To eliminate dissatisfaction, I propose to start counting carrots each time they are passed from hand to hand, and at the same time make this information public, that is, accessible to everyone. Someone will consider this unrealistic, but this has already happened with the banking system ─ each of your transfers is easily traced. You just need to make this information publicly available in all cases. Not only in the private banking sector.

 It is considered reasonable and fair that someone gets extra carrots simply because he has a good job as a carrier of carrots to the market or has an overseas carrot education, which he was paid for by parents with large carrot capital.

When they are looking for those responsible for the crime, then, blaming the transporter of carrots, they scold him as if in his place they would be more honest and would not steal carrots. However, no one offers to openly count carrots when we give them from hand to hand. It is considered normal to take a word that nothing will be lost or use a whole load of various kinds of private financial structures: from a loan to a deposit─ to ultimately justify the loss of the ill-fated carrot.

No one wants and does not offer to distinguish between the fact that a carrot, for example, by chance, was lost on the way from the fact that it was stolen or eaten. The final result is undoubtedly the same, but such a viewing angle on processes. This does not allow us to distinguish between those who really wanted to deliver the carrots to the recipient from those who initially undertook to carry the cargo in order to steal it.

 Such a social system in which it is impossible to steal carrots is called a utopia. On the contrary, this is not a utopia, because there is a solution to this problem and it is elementary.And that decision sooner or later should have appeared due to socio-technical progress, as well as the solution of any other problem that until some time was considered the norm: most dangerous diseases, mass crime, regular wars, etc.

And I’m not saying that we should correct a person, as many religions from communism to Hinduism suggest. The nature of each person is unique. Different people are born with different tendencies. There is, among other things, a tendency to take away someone else’s, or rather, take everything that is strong enough to take, regardless of morality and the public good.

Why should we wait until good people are born, when we can create conditions in which both good and bad will behave in the way that is required for the common good? This does not require a revolution, a coup d’état, the socialization of property, because to implement this idea, it is enough just to count the carrots and let everyone know how much and to whom the carrots are being transferred. What is actually done, in any profitable enterprise. And of course, a prosperous society should be built on the same principles.

 Further, having fixed the fact of the theft of carrots, it will be enough for us simply not to make a norm out of this and, as a result, not to create a class of people who have the right to steal carrots. To do this, you just need to stop trusting, that is, interact with a person who obviously steals a common carrot, give this person ostracism. Is this a “utopia”? In my opinion, “utopia” is to think that if you do not change a system that does not resist the theft of carrots and does not make the crime public, then everything will be fine. And this is when any historical experience shows that this is not so. History shows that the habit of stealing spreads rapidly and, when the majority can no longer tolerate it, it leads society to collapse, revolutions and other disasters.

There is an opinion that supposedly nothing depends on the people. It may not be from the people, but citizens and specifically, participants in the OM system will be able to make decisions that are important for the whole society, since from the very beginning they see that their lives and the lives of people around, the fate of mankind on our planet depend on their decisions. As a result, the OM system is initially not for everyone, but only for those who are ready to take responsibility for their lives in all possible aspects and forms.
