WHAT IS THE MATRIX?


WHAT THIS GROUP IS ALL ABOUT



Busting a meme requires an open mind to investigate your own mindsets. Sometimes finding out the truth can make you feel deceived. Finding out the truth can hurt more then a kick in the groin, because it busts the illusions. Illusions we cling to and that made us feel secure in our lives.





The pain of 'truth' is however never a negative pain, but it is the pain of awakening, opening up to reality. It gives you the chance to deal with reality and to choose on the basis of the new found information.



This is what we are trying to do by Busting the Money Meme. Wake people up to reality and give them the opportunity to choose on the basis of the newly found information.

FIND YOUR WAY AROUND




This is not an average cosy discussion group. We have put quite some effort into creating a structure to assist you on the way to be more aware, in learning how things are not necessarily what they look like.


There are -- INFO -- threads


They contain... info. Info about the hidden world of Economy. Read, think, and remember the stuff that makes sense to you. We have tried to find all sorts of ideas how to make things work differently, so individual items may very well be ambiguous. If you MISS something - discuss this with one of the hosts. The threads are blocked from member input, to keep them clear of debris.


There are -- ADD -- threads



These contain info that you may add yourself. Just remember:

  • Only add info according to the instructions
  • Don't comment
  • Don't discuss

Help us keep this place tidy and clean to make it easier for everybody to find the info they look for.


There are -- DISC -- threads


Feel free to discuss anything related to money and busting the meme of it. If you don't find a -- DISC -- thread about the thing that makes your heart run faster, create one! Just use the tag to define it and add a descriptive title.

THE BRIGHT SIDE


We can't be serious all the time. You have two personal spaces here.


WE ARE THE MEME BUSTERS

When you have decided to stay here for a while. The thread to tell everybody about yourself, what you want to learn here, what you wish for when the time to implement a fairer economy comes, your experiences with sustainable economy and all that. Tell us!!!



THE LOUNGE - The Official Chill-Out Place and Social Club

The place for all off-topic comments. We are sure you will be more inventive about what sorts of things will be discussed here than we may for-see. So we won't even give any hints of the content here. Unless, of course, that you use your common sense and the general Care2 guidelines.

IN TIMES OF NEED

The topic for this group alone is sufficient to make people cry in the streets, throwing bricks and whatnots, crushing windows and noses. We assume that there will be heated debates, so here are a few tips on what and how and if.



  • We are here to present different ideas and discuss them - NOT fighting about which idea is the best one.
  • We are here to learn new things - NOT to argue if Capitalism or Socialism will win eventually. (In our dreams neither of them will anyway.)
  • We are here to make new insights and BUST the old paradigm - NOT to get angry and defend any old structure or system.

IF YOU FEEL A THREAD IS NEAR TO CATCH FIRE AND TURN INTO A FLAME WAR - CALL FOR PIZZA!!!

A call for pizza is a way to politely say to all concerned that you feel that the temperature is rising too high. If at least three persons have called for pizza within the same thread and within two days, the main antagonists are asked to step down and chill out. If it doesn't help - contact a host.

Example of a Pizza call:

Subject - Pizza call
Body - I would like a chicken, mushroom and curry pizza, please.





DID YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING YOU POSTED?



We all make honest mistakes from time to time. If you started to comment or discuss something in an -- ADD -- thread for instance, just relax and contact one of the hosts.

Heated posts are harder to redeem. Gladly though, our language has been fitted with ways to handle this. Say "sorry" and contact a host if you want a post to be deleted.

                 LINKS, LINKS, LINKS

They come in handy to make it easier for others to obtain info, but please use the LINK FEATURE - write "Link to homepage" or similar and turn that text into a link.

Why?
Links that are pasted into a post may be too wide for the page, and since it will not break, the width of the page will accomodate according to the length of the URL. We don't want that. It makes reading threads a pain.


How to use the Link Feature
When you reply to a post you will have a menu bar on top of the text field. Third from the right is a small chain - that's the Link Icon.

  1. Copy the URL you want to paste
  2. Go to the post you are composing
  3. High-light the text that you want to make a link of
  4. Click the Link Icon
  5. Enter the URL

ReadO: tag
2 years ago
One way to learn new things is to read a book. Reading a book may start us to think in new ways and of new things. Reading a book all alone, having nobody to discuss the topic with may be very frustrating. To remedy this, there will be reading-circles tagged "ReadO: (title of text inserted)".

If there is a text in the Book thread that you wish to discuss, start a reading-circle. If the text you would like to discuss is NOT in the Book thread - add a link to the text and then start a reading-circle.
