    Flawed.
    First, he says, “I’m an American, I don’t believe in philosophy.” Whether you “believe” in it or not, it rules your life. The philosophy you adopt subconsciously or consciously dictates your values and actions.
    The most important question is never asked: WHY did people perform better creatively without a reward incentive? The answer IS philosophy. The word count limitation won’t allow me to go further, but if everyone wants a socialist dictatorship, feel free to adopt this idea.

    Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called “Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written”: EXCERPT: “Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him.”

    @MrIzzyDizzy You are 100% right on, the monetary system was created to enslave. We’ve created all our own problems. We have the solutions, the only issue is – how to get to a resource based economy from where we are now with minimal bloodshed.

  8. crudhousefull says:

    Most people know this…but creating an environment vs. saying “do this” and paying the employee is much much harder and requires a much bigger skillset than most managers and CEOs have. You can get the skills needed…but you have to do a lot of intrinsic work yourself…basically meditate your ass off so that you know what emotions are at play for each person

    @1redism why are you complaining?

  10. posiblub says:

    Great speaker!

  11. Majoritis says:

    This is the mindset that china has right now productivity increasing while wages remain the same. A desire to be on top. Plain and simple. America had that at one time. Hope we can get a new attitude.

  12. hautepower says:

    Also relate this to “Build a Tower, Build a Team” marshmallow challenge – found the same results.

  13. hautepower says:

    amen.

  14. silvercoin1111 says:

    Fantastic! Let science rule!

  15. MrIzzyDizzy says:

    @Teeteejay000 it would work far better if you eliminate a need for money altogether, by using better methods to produce abundance for all people. then you would have “100% “(intrinsic) time. see zeitgeist moving forward and zeitgeist addendum for a vision on how and why that would work.

  16. Teeteejay000 says:

    Hmm, will it work if a company offers reward, and intrinsic motivation?

    @JustPhilippeIt as Apple or Google are all about reaching the top of the world, and being better than the other company down the road

  19. JustPhilippeIt says:

    @Craigvr The goal of the company as a whole is profit – no doubt. The point of this approach is to enhance this goal by giving employees a sense of purpose and autonomy, to take advantage of their intrinsic motivation. Unlike socialism, this approach is all orientated towards the individual. The most successful brands adopt values and identities which go beyond just making profit, and which they project to/attract ppl with. These values are competitive in character too,

  20. Craigvr says:

    @JustPhilippeIt Companies make profits the highest goal because it is a indicator of the value they have added beyond their labor and costs. This is the measure of value they have added to society. The more society see’s a companies products and services adding to their intrinsic desires, the higher a premium they are willing to pay beyond the cost of bringing that product or service to market. Communism is based on the ideology that profit doesn’t exit. Socialism says it’s only a by-product.

  21. JustPhilippeIt says:

    @Craigvr Case study for socialism? I don’t think so. Things like the ‘ROWE’, Wiki, and Google’s working culture are only possible in a free-market environment, not a centralised and bureaucratic. The point he’s trying to prove here is perhaps we’ll thrive more by making profit a by-product or our intrinsic desires, rather than a direct and mind-norrowing goal.

    This. A thousand times this.

    @cobes11 You created a hypothetical character.
