One of the most obvious lessons to be learned from Worgl is: Hierarchy subjugates

Another obvious lesson from Worgl is: Savings --> Hoarding is part of the problem.

Savings concentrated in the hands of the Hierarchy: https://archive.is/WjwB9

- that is the 2x/3x/4x/[X] Whammy! The Whammy that keeps on whammy-ing . . .

The Solution? It has to be Direct Change by the People

But how? It has to be both Push and Pull

Push: the Indirect Hierarchical System is evil

Pull: the Direct Reciprocal System is good

Hence: "Turn away from evil and do good!"

The Worgl Currency is but one example of the Direct Reciprocal System

It is a start - but not sufficient - it has to be Full Spectrum - for Co-opecracy

The Worgl Currency is an example of the Periodic Reckoning Currency

- backed by nothing more than the Promise of a Promising Future AND Periodic Reckoning

- the core elements of the Direct Reciprocal System

- for a true caring culture!

I think what it showed was that money is the governing factor and it doesn't have to be based on a usury scam, it can actually be based on care. It also showed that no matter how successful a money system is, it can be shut down by the dominant one. Another benefit of the Wörgl currency was, due to the dynamics of net present value, it shifted the people's thinking from short-term to long-term (seven generations?) which is essential for planetary care.

In a nutshell:

(You can use this framework to analyze & reimagine all our systems:

--- monetary, financial, economic, political, media, education,.... )

The Problem:

Indirect Hierarchical Paradigm & Systems -> Full Spectrum Usurpation

The Solution:

Pivot to Direct Reciprocal Paradigm & Systems, for Full Spectrum usurpation-free Dom

Reason:

Indirect Hierarchical Systems are, by their very nature, susceptible to usurpation.

Direct Reciprocal Systems, by design, are not.

Yes, that would be great. How do we get people on board?

Push and Pull:

Turn away from evil: Hierarchy

- the entire present system is Slavery X.0 - Full Spectrum Usurpation

- they have everyone mind shackled

and do good - as the Good Samaritan did: Reciprocity

- let's free ourselves of our mind shackles: https://youtu.be/9jBgo7UipqY

- the People of Worgl showed us the good - but hidden in plain sight by Hierarchy's mind gatekeepers ever since: https://saidit.net/s/WritingsOnTheWall/comments/bufb/the_true_enlightenment_from_w%C3%B6rgl/

Here's one idea how we can exorcise evil from the system:

Here's the bigger picture i shared earlier

for Full Spectrum Usurpation-free Dom:

- Full Spectrum Direct Reciprocal Systems, for Real Democracy

--- rather than the sham: Indirect Political "Democracy"
