First of all, thank you so much for your work of educating. This past year, I have found the idea of a Resource-Based Economy with the main example from The Venus Project and just started educating myself about the problems that need to be solved to get to that point. What is your thought on that idea? Do you think it's possible?

What have you found as the best/most effective way to talk with people who don’t believe in the ramifications of our current economic system?

So far, I have found others’ reactions against a resource-based economy as:

• They are content with where they are right now

• They feel the problem is because there are too many people on the planet

• They don’t believe that others will truly act appropriately - others will take what they “own” or become lazy and take advantage of others. They don’t see the possibility/benefits of working together without the rewards [money incentive].

• They don’t believe that the bureaucracy that the [new] work involved will be properly managed
