Money is trust

I´ve seen a very educative video on the web regarding the money, the bank system and all the concepts behind the basics of our modern economy. I think it´s an important source for anyone who has a bank account and/or uses money. To understand the complex system behind all of our money transactions and the value of our paper values.

The money real value is not metals (like gold, silver or bronze) anymore, but our own personal values that are entrusted in form of debt to the bank. Since the money in our age is electronic, totally virtual – there´s no real/physic guarantee that it could disappear or have no value at all from one day to another in the worst case scenario or even because of computer crimes.

(The video is bellow, after the reflection)

The video has got a left-wing (liberal) tone and it could be confused with “false communist propanda” as most Americans (not only North Americans) characterize content that criticizes the status quo, instead of hearing and trying to understand it as constructive(yet destructive) advice.

People tend to prefer the simple yellow brick road and follow the wave of common sense progress. I believe in order to achieve progress, but for that is important to take active part and think things thorough even when they at first glance bother or offend. The exposure to different trues is the key to a strong progressive opinion. (even if the youtube channel where this video has been posted is full of nutty conspiracy videos that don’t worth mention)

I would like to hear your opinion on the video. How much it’s away from the truth? The information presented is trustworthy? Do you worry about the future of the economic system?

This is the first video, 1 out of 5. The link to the other videos is bellow:

To the creative ones

TED is a great channel of inspiration. This time, self-help for the creative genius – Ms Gilbert surely knows how to tell a history.

She goes over the inspirational process, a true class of semiotics around the self perception of enlightenment. The way people interpret their insights and transform them to memory and consequently reality translated in actions.

Olé!

TED Talks Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

About Elizabeth Gilbert
The author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert has thought long and hard about some large topics. Her next fascination: genius, and how we ruin it. Full bio and more links

Inspired by a surrealistic narrative, Captain Morgan’s commercial drives the beholder towards a predictable conclusion:

It´s just the TV.

Loja Zazzle

Estou colocando na web alguns de meus trabalhos de desenho gráfico à venda em diversos formatos através do site zazzle.

O conceito é simples, você cria os produtos, envia para o site e a loja online se ocupa de vender – como é o mercado de artesanatos. Só que melhor, pois não é necessário fazer nenhum investimento além do trabalho e divulgação.

Abaixo, a minha lojinha que já conta com alguns modelos à venda:
