That's a really unfortunate situation for those men and future actions going forward. That's a sticky problem to address too. Now what are your thoughts on solutions to bringing change to such a situation there? Convergent vs divergent thinking. I can't imagine the complexity of the problem. I don't know the answers.

Hire a drill sergeant. Set a really annoying alarm in the other room that forces you to get up to turn it off. Sleep early. Drink glass of water by bed side. Splash water on face.

Where does one go to find these magical mushrooms. I heard it's legal in Denver, Colorado to use them now. Im down in Colorado Springs. Curious where. My question is where to find them...

Ok depends on how determined you are to save. Saving is kind of a habit of making trade-offs. OK so.. Step one. Get a used RV, fix up a hail damaged rv, or build a tiny home. Cut cost on the biggest expense rent. I recommend auctions bc I got one for like $4k and fixed it up. 27ft rv that could sleep 3-4 people. Step 2. Get a roommate to live with you and split expenses halfway. Buy a plot of land out in the middle of no where or camp out on BLM land full time for free for a week. Logistics gets confusing with managing tanks. Get a thousand trail annual pass membership and live in the rv parks to the max daily limit. Milk the dang system. Would really cut costs. Camp out in Walmart parking lots or cracker barrels for free. Then use... ioverlander is the best app out there to help find free places to Camp out at. Or campendium some places have free water and electricity. Another app is harvest host.. Camping on wineries or farms but I believe they only allow one or two days. I'm sure someone could negotiate something. There's another site that people can share their driveways or use their land for free. Only a few days though. Step 4. Find a goat farmer and offer to help them out then negotiate a rent plan. (I'm currently paying $300 month in Colorado springs/includes utilities) Grow your own food & fast. (if possible/able) Eat 4 eggs for breakfast every day. Great source of protein. Buy frozen bell peppers. Using a slow cooker is perfect for making bulk meals and soups. Cuts costs with adding cheap ingredients such as vegetables and pasta. Eat peanut butter sandwichs every. single. day. Chicken breast is super cheap in bulk. Bananas are relatively cheap and healthy too. Bread is super filling. Buy only nature own 100% whole wheat. Super cheap and is OK healthy. Download an app called fooducate to help find healthy food at grocery stores. Drink only water and nothing else. Invest in a berky water system. Travel berky is a Long term investment that pays for itself. Best filter on the market. Don't go anywhere in your car or waste gas. Don't buy coffee at coffee shops. Maybe tea. Danger/warning: Do not get a girlfriend or a wife. Avoid 99% of them at all cost. Delete tinder & Bumble. Don't buy them drinks at bars. Get you a flip phone. (I don't have one bc I'm addicted to my galaxy s9) At the grocery store try and use the store apps for coupon deals. Buy only what you need. Come up with a list of essentials on a printed document. Preferably, get an electric bike or scooter to get around town and to save on gasoline. Plus, be physically fit. Only buy essential items for staying alive. (Pretty much just food and cellular device bills for internet access to YouTube.) Sell anything that is taking up space. Only have the essentials. Nothing else. Watch all expenses like a hawk. Track them with killer attention. Pay off your credit card in full each month. Or don't have one at all. Use YNAB to allocate funds and plan the budget. ... Now to take it to the extreme mode I met a dude up in Wyoming that was living out of his tent and camping in a local park I was at. In his 20s. Would go to local grocery stores and get free food out of the back dumpster. Dumpster diving. It's amazing how much food is wasted in this country. Perfectly good food too. He would snack off fruit and random food. He had a tray of cinnamon rolls at one point. I ate one without knowing where it came from. Now he lived almost 3 months without spending a single dollar too. He also was walking from Montana to Mexico by foot. 30 miles per day by foot. That's not exactly an easy life but it's doable. He was living off the kindness of others too. He seemed like a homeless person if you ask me. Really really cool guy. Stage green for sure. ... Basically this has been my plan for 2020! It's allowed me to not work for like half the past year. I was able to travel from lower Alabama to Yellowstone NP during this pandemic. Did it solo with no help. Did not spend a single dollar on rent for the first 2 or 3 months. Living in random ass places. Was not easy. Then now I'm living in Colorado Springs super cheap on a goat farm while most people my age are losing a ton on rent. Yes, I'm living in an rv trailer when it's snowing outside right now but hey I'm more than comfortable with less rent. Plus I've been able to read + learn about life + travel. Now.. Living on the road full time. I've met a decent bit of people that live out of their cars/vans. Seems a little unrealistic if you ask me. Vans seem viable for the short term but still not much space and would get old quick. Showering and going to the bathroom would get old. Travel trailers have a pretty decent amount of space. Pretty unique systems. Plus being able to disconnect and drive into town. I have a shower/bath in mine. Has hot water heater. Floor heater. A/C. Propane fridge. Bunk beds. Stove. Has essentially everything I need and more. Feels like I'm in a miniature apartment that can move anywhere. Plus, install cellular booster and a wifi booster. I can pick up wifi from extremely far distances. Plus, I worked from the rv remotely. I haven't met too many people my age that live in an RV full time. I'm 27 right now. Mostly have seen people in their 30s and up. 27ft rv has been perfect for me being solo. Plenty of space to cook and do some yoga. Encourages me to be outside too. Wish it had slide outs for more space but I'm content. Class A RVs seem only viable for campgrounds. Plus it's not easy to get off road and find boondocking locations. I had little to no issues with camping out in the wilderness. I did get stuck on a hill once. Plus, broke the black tank valve on accident (don't ask) Class B seems perfect but super expensive typically. Yet if it brakes down you'll be in a unique situation. Plus not as convenient as a travel trailer. Truly a smaller travel trailer is ideal for one person cutting costs. Allows for mobility purposes and cuts cost on fuel. Also limits a person to the essentials. ... Other crazy option is join the military and live on a military base full time. Don't spend a single dime. Don't go any where. Go to work and nothing else. Eat only at the chow hall only for free. Basically prison life but you're getting paid to be there. Literally surrounded by fences and security force guys. Yet a little more freedom than prison. Did that and I was able to save up wayyy more than most people in my early 20's. Nearly zero expenses and saving 3k per month income. Was able to accumulate over $30,000 within 2 or 3 years at the age of 23. I was bored out of my mind though and not exactly happy with my life choices. However I wasn't in debt. Yet the ability to save is unheard of compared to most options. ... Last option I've been contemplating with a buddy is buying an acre or two of land. Get a couple buddies to pitch into this new venture. Build a village of tiny homes. Dig a well system for water. Install a bunch of solar panels and build lithium batteries with parts online. Create a redneck septic system with water barrels(not sure if this is legal). Then invite people to create an intentional community. I would be the overlord and set the bylaws, covenants, conditions, and restrictions for this village. Pull together resources and live off the land like true hippies. Grow a few gardens. Milk them goats I was talking about and buy an army of hens for eggs. Survive off the organic+non-gmo-grass fed hens. OK I'd like to see someone beat all this advice.

Not exactly films bust a few good YouTube videos. Films.. Into the wild Tree of life Matrix

5:00-6:10 Makes good sense. People should heal from their childhood trauma and toxic shame before bringing someone into a shame based world. Passing on trauma from generation to generation.

Curious how emotionally aware people are on here Are you hyper-logical.. In your head..?Monkey mind most of the time? Withhold expressing yourself? Numbed out? Tune down emotions and ignore them? Or... Are you more in your body..? Connected with the sensations..? Expressing your feelings? Aware of subtle emotions? Understanding your emotions?

What to say when you talk to yourself by Shad Helmstter : Programming creates beliefs > Beliefs create attitudes > Attitude creates feelings > Feelings determine Actions > Actions determine Results --------- Then also, I'd say identity is deeply rooted in our habits. How we see ourself creates a loop of action taking or not. Identity based beliefs. I am "xyz".. I am a runner. I am a swimmer. Connects with a role of certain actions. Identity based > Process orientation > Outcome focus

Playing chess♟. Play consistently and building a habit over the years. Playing a few games each day adds up with time.

Pretty good chance you were born normal, innocent, and freely expressing yourself without shame before you could speak. Self-love and self-acceptance were with you automatically by default. ?? Why should you want to heal? I'd say because deep down you have value and worth. And the idea of worthiness is just an idea. ⭐⭐You are worthy to exist⭐⭐. Whether you know it or not there is value in you. You were born worthy of love. Now part of you holds that true value. If you can point to this thing called "worthlessiness" then do it. Where is worthlessiness at?️? What does it look like?️, smell like?, taste like?, sound like?? I can't see it. ? It probably doesn't exist in physical reality. It's an idea? in your head?. Just the belief of shame ? inside you is getting in the way. The voice of shame ? is the belief of "I am not enough". Which is a false belief. It's a psychological wound most likely. Truth is, you are valuable. Value really is perspective. If the the glass half full ? or is the glass half empty?. Which is true? It depends on your perspective. Is the cup worthless? ? If you haven't had water in 3 weeks then yeah its worth something probably. I'm saying you have value by worthiness of being alive. Now worthlessness by the measurement of what? Society? ? Me? ?Who creates this so called measuring stick of your so called worth? What type of worth we talking about? Monetarily or net-worth?? Dude money is invisible and it comes and goes. ?Even some of the wealthiest people feel not enough. They strive for trillions to find enoughness.?‍? What is enough by definition ??? Define enough? A baby would eat a dollar?? if you gave it to the child. It's a social tool. Well social worth?? Social value? Social status??????️ That's all social conditioning to categorize you and organize the system. Has nothing to do about you for being you. A baby holds zero social status and could care less what clothes holds the greatest value.? Baby has no intellectual value too. It can't work. So its value of labor is worthless.?? Would you shame that child and say you're a worthless little child bc you aren't doing anything but taking. No that's silly. ?? You are taught to feel an anxiety towards not having or buying "stuff". This makes you a good consumer and enables the marketing to mess with your buying behaviors. ??? Self-esteem?? Now then what is esteem? Self-image? Self-ideal? Self-acceptance? Why can't you accept yourself? What's blocking this? Why the lack of self-respect? What personal values do you even hold? Well honor your personal values and don't feel ashamed. Typically the voice of a care taker or an authority figure put this silly narrative of I'm unworthy or I'm not enough. That voice ?️lives in your head on autopilot all the time as self-judgement. The more you feed that silly voice, subself, or belief the louder it gets. ? Most the time as a child we think in terms of "black⚫ and white⚪". The critical factor ?allows all ideas as truth to live in the mind. No critical thinking. Either I'm a good boy? or I'm a bad boy??. People either like me or they don't like me. They love me or they don't love me. Bro Life ain't that simple. Just because someone doesn't like your music doesn't mean it's worthless or bad music.? Just because someone doesn't like your red hair, doesn't mean your red hair is bad.?‍? Just because your mom doesnt like your autistic friend named Larry. Doesn't mean Larry is a completely worthless dirt bag. Larry might have a unique skill. Just because someone doesn't want to date you, doesn't mean you're undateable. Just because you got fired at waffle house, doesn't mean you can't get a job at ihop to contribute value for someone that likes breakfast food. Heck if you can flip pancakes you're worth something to someone that values pancakes. I like pancakes.? Just because one person doesn't see your value, doesn't mean you are valueless. Value or worth is a complex thing in this thing called life. Hopefully this connects a few dots. Spend a little bit of time and understand this emotion called shame. Here's a video of an old whistling guy that has some decent information. ?️

It's ok to cry. Awesome for you to open up and be vulnerable enough to speak up. It's necessary for you to speak up and let it out. Crying helps heal broken bonds. Healthy grieving is something that we must all must express and not repress. Sounds like you have blocked grief from the trauma. That we must have healthy grieving to let go of our losses that we had in our past. Grieving the past trauma associated with family is normal. I'm in the same boat b/c I've essentially gone "no contact" with my family. It hurts because my parents weren't emotionally all there. As well as grieving the past abusive relationships with men - Going through heart break is hard as well as the trauma that you experience there. Getting physically active and going to they gym gets all those hormones pumped out of the body. Also, for me personally I notice an instancant change in my emotional state when I drink a glass of ashwagandha. Emotions are there for a reason because there's incomplete grieving. Hopefully this video helps anyone that is confused about grief and bottling up heavy emotions. Many people are taught in childhood not to express their emotions. Shamed for crying. I highly recommend speaking up like Preety_India did. It's perfectly normal to cry. Don't feel ashamed.

I'm cool with collaborating with someone about habits. Determining if an accountability partner is viable. I'm currently listening to the audio book Atomic Habits. My interests : Discuss habit cycles Create list of habits & priorities Discuss environment design Discuss apps & tools Build keystone habits Watch and track habits Create habit contracts for reinforcement Constructing mind maps for brainstorming

OK so energy. What is energy? I sit and think about the concept of energy. Why do we call it energy. Electricity & batteries? Solar & Thermal? Radiation? Kenetic energy? Potential energy? Vibrations from sound? Nuclear power? Chemical? Is money a form of energy? Food & Calories ? Mitochondria & ATP? Sleep creates energy? Stamina & physiological? Will power from the mind? Emotions as energy in motion? Thoughts and ideas? Attention is energy from the eyes? Sensations? Conciousness? Everything is energy? So... energy can not be created nor destroyed. Energy is just transferred. Entropy is a weird form of energy that seems chaotic. We go to sleep for the purpose of recharging our energy. We eat plants or animals to convert into ATP energy. Other insects or animals can eat us for a source of energy. Such as a parastism. Emotions carry a weird energy or vibe. Can people take your energy or attention? Music creates a form of energy in vibrations through sound. We can feel energy from a roaring crowd of people at a sports game. We use a defibrillator to send electrical energy to re·sus·ci·tate the heart (put consciousness back in the body¿). Even an amazing speech or deep intimate conversation can have a form of energy. In the state of flow a weird momentum of energy comes out. If there is a soul is it a form energy? Energy is such a weird thing to think about. Just putting some thoughts out there about the concept of energy. Feel free to add if you know something I didn't think of. Correct me if I am wrong on anything.

I recently discovered the whole concept of "parts work".. Or having sub-selves. Who am I? I am a mixture of different selves? But who is the authentic self? Who is the child self? Or is it children? A family? List all of your characteristics... Positive characteristics Negative characteristics Then get a friend to objectively list your characteristics. Both positive & negative. Then identify these subselves based on your past or the fragmentation of your personality. When did you first create this characteristic? What caused you to act this way? Seeing all the puzzle pieces that make up you. It's hard admitting the parts of ourself that we don't want to see that are in the shadow. Especially to others or hearing it from others.

I'm sitting down breaking down and contemplating the idea? of habits. Basically collecting ? as much information and summarizing the information into an online visual aid with Mindomo?. I figured it would be awesome to collaborate and share ideas to build a concept map?️. In this way the links could be posted on actualized.org for everyone to view. This will help convey vast amounts of information ? for others to understand. I figured building habits is a very important idea. Considering how it can have an echo effect in life. Changing a small habit can lead to a domino effect and a momentum. Such as Journaling everyday ? or just meditating, reading, exercising, and any other habits. Here is the concept map that I am building: https://www.mindomo.com/mindmap/habits-508a45a3e5645a9876da4edc3bda59ac My thoughts about this map. ? Sharing thoughts on top habits... ? Sharing tools and resources that have help you.. ? Sharing any ideas about habits that can add value.. I will try to organize the information in the map with images and recommended thoughts/ideas.

Here's my opinion: Habits habits habits. Someone doesn't build a skill overnight. Small decisions of your past add up to who you are today. Start with micro habits and build them up slowly. Life seems to be a weird cumulative momentum of good vs bad habits. Build awareness of your current habits. Meta-cognition.. How does memory and learning even work? How does the brain operate? Attention and intention.. The better attention you have then the better you can focus to build habits. The more awareness you have of where your attention is the better you can focus intention. Energy.. Understand how much energy you have. If you're always tired then it's hard to even get focused or even think clearly. Food/water, exercise/stretch, and sleep. If you have certain sleeping habits then that's one problem. If you have certain eatting habits then that can be a problem. If you have certain habits of not exercising then it only gets worse. What about addictions vs habits? What addictions do you have for coping with life? I've heard beeminder is a good way to help with building habits. Just start slow. Even with typing it takes steps to get fast. Getting in a state flow with the process. Focusing not too much on the outcome but more focus on the process. In the military they start off with a few small habits. Doing push-ups then raise the temperature. Basically "boot camp" is "habit camp". Small habits. Making your bed in the morning. Folding clothes. Standing up tall. Then slowly cleaning the whole room. Becoming more and more organized. Seeing your life as systems. Life systems of thinking. Giving all the items in your life a purpose to become more efficient with where you allocate your energy. The more you own it becomes more bogging on the working memory of the mind. In chess it's about being flexable with your memory. Being able to be a strategic thinker. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Moving slow builds a momentum. Playing hundreds of games you build speed. Playing too fast will cause mistakes. Play at a comfortable speed. Hope this helps bro.

So looking back to the 50's the baby boomer parents were acting authriterian. The 60's kids were challenging the rules of society. People were asking more questions and the collective consciousness was waking up. People were focusing on love. People were becoming more open-minded. Free thinkers were expanding. People were questioning authority and beliefs. What caused this movement to slow down the momentum?? Were people corrupting the movement from the inside? Such as people stereotyping hippies and giving a mixed message? Did drug abuse get out of control within the movement? Was the banning/demonizing drugs the shifting point? People having babies/families another reason? I don't understand how such an awaking shifted more towards vast consumerism and corporate america. Was technology a cause for this shift? The rise of electronics? Baby boomers started orienting more towards materialism and being workaholics yuppies. Why? It went from one extreme to the other..

I also found this useful. Creating a check list of items to buy. Such as for a car. This is listed for the travel trailer. Random ass things I spontaneously think of. Organize and prioritize. Then find the item off offerup, Mercari, or ebay for a fraction of the retail price.

OK. So I was curious to hear how people organize their commonplace book. I was curious to get some new ideas. As well as sharing some of my own ideas. I have a notebook specifically for ideas. Any ideas that come to mind I add to a list of ideas. Then organize & prioritize. I'd like to become more focused with this list of ideas and plan a few days to do deep contemplation for each idea. Slowly work down the list. Starting with ideas I see have the greatest value. I see that I'm in the stage of Convergent thinking. Listing as many ideas as possible. I plan on coming back later on to do the divergent thinking and deep thinking. Trying to create a system of thought to balance out everything. Not allowing my monkey mind to invest time and energy aimlessly or mental masturbate. More intentional with how I use my mind so that my mind isn't running all over the place. I'd like to keep things simple to access. Not too many notebooks to get scattered and lost in the information. Trying to find the balance. A balance of attention & intention. I have 4 Notebooks 1. MAIN 2. PROJECTS 3. GOALS 4. MISC I prefer to use the desktop app b/c it's easiest to enter information. I am using the app on the go to quickly add ideas. I am trying to get in the habit of planning each day in a journal. I keep projects in a separate Notebook to break down large projects into actionable tasks. I want to get better with setting goals but not sure how to arrange them. Curious how people arrange their goals. I use tons of internal links on my idea page to have a quick way to access information and brain dump information/organize. I try to use plenty of images in my pages to keep it creative and interesting to dive in to. Important ideas to improve the system : Attention & focus .. Mindfulness Distractions & monkey mind Contemplation - Not becoming scattered with the information overload. Organizing - Creating an unorganized information system is worthless. What have you done that has helped the most? What are ideas do you see worth prioritizing to accelerate this? What ways do your organize your system? Such as lists & columns.. Curious to hear what you do with your commonplace book!

I've kinda arranged my goals in this way. I'd like to break down goals into categories and set microgoals each month. Trying to figure out exactly the goal setting process but I do like the format so far. Written goals are more often complete then those that aren't written.

Another example is with having project folders. I see having a dedicated place to organize projects is helpful for project management. For example, I have a travel trailer I'm working on. I basically walked around took pictures from all angles. Drew out all the things that need to be fixed. Drew out things I'd like to upgrade with a different color. Then labeled on the side the tasks arranged in order. Highlighting the critical tasks in red. It's helpful to glance at instead of walking around and wasting time having to remember everything. Pull out the phone and it's right there. Then delete the task as I go along. Easy to create like a mindmap too in order to break a task into subtasks too. Then visually see it with photos. Talk about mind mapping. It's very simple and clean.

@Mike Book So for right now you can see that I'm just adding random ideas. Creating links on one main page for all the ideas. Then slowly build a page of interests. Then hopefully I plan on reorganizing. Prioritizing based on categories. Then dedicate a certain amount of time to find information further down. Breadth vs depth. Next I just have a daily journal to brain dump. Talking about the day. Then a separate journal for strictly planning.

@Mike BookYeah man, I've been looking in the forum for someone discussing directly about their ideas for the common place book. Doesn't seem to be anyone discussing or collaborating. If there was a discussion it was mostly about which version or simple things. Feel free to post on here what you have going on. I'm still working on my little system. I'm more curious about the foundation and those that use it on a daily basis. Integrated into a personal wiki or a 2nd brain to collect information. The brain is a processing machine. Not a memory machine that hold RAM. The brain gets bogged down after a simple math problem. Let alone all the daily tasks we all hold each day or projects. I have tons of questions about ideas that I get curious about throughout the day but it's never intentional thinking. It's more scattered like, hey let's ask the all knowing Google real quick and not really comprehend the full idea. Compared to observing with pure intention and having a more clear understanding. Especially directing attention at the top 20% of ideas that appear important. Especially these days with the unlimited amount of things to direct attentions towards. Helps to organize and allocate energy more intentionally.

The Amazon Ecosystem is a little more dynamic than what meets your eyes. Created an FBA business back in 2018. Started selling in early 2019. It's hard to really control the growth of Amazon because there are 1000's of entrepreneurs trying to start businesses on Amazon everyday. The competition and risk is insane for most of the products. However, the return on investment is unheard of. I joined the Amazing Selling Machine back in 2018 which is the top course for Amazon. An expensive one to join (~$5000). Also attended the Sellercon event in Las Vegas this past year with 100's of other people. Really opened my eyes to how this machine works from a business owners perspective. Let alone hearing the perspectives from people all around the world that came to this event. At the event they did discuss Concious Leadership. Sadly, most people are more focused on generating profits instead of marketing being more concious. Feeding peoples biases and needs instead of spreading truth. Honestly, my business was created with a focus on mindfulness and awareness. The business products focus on coffee/tea. I wanted to communicate a story that we should slow down as a society. Instead of how most americans rush out the door mindlessly. That we should really become more introspective and aware of how we are living. Communicating higher conciousness and marketing to people that are like-minded. Also, I've spent a decent bit on hiring people for projects.. Spent hundreds of dollars on photographers, webdesigners, marketing company, graphic designers.. So in someways it creates opportunties of others. Amazon is making a killing with the advertising system they having going on.. Inorder to compete on Amazon it's all about Converstion rates & getting ranked on the search engine. The A9 search engine calculates crazy algirithums to rank people.. The amount of money the businesses spend on Ads and the converstion percentages.. So inorder to really compete the business owner has to have enough money for advertising or some source of traffic or a popular product. Amazon loves to keep everything on it's platform too. Feeding it more money to gain a stronger postion. Amazon has multiple massive streams of income but also wants to see external sources generating leads.. Really the main concern I have with Amazon is how they are catoring more towards China. Considering most of the inventory in the fulfillment centers are sourced from China predominently. Since labor costs are so cheap there. The factories that make the inventory are competing directly on Amazon. Why sell to a 3rd party when you can have the lowest cost to make the product? Makes it much more difficult to compete with someone when they can source a product directly to a fulfillment center for a dollar cheaper per unit. So why have a middle man when they can control the whole process? Amazon is willing to help anyone that helps it grow. Let alone how ruthless some of the sellers overseas can be with blackhat marketing methods. It's a crazy game to deal with competing in the US. Let alone how the Amazon customer support is towards sellers. In regards to the business ethics side.. With small businesses being impacted.. I think innovation is the name of the game in business. Unless other small businesses can come up with a similiar system that is as fast and affordable.. Unless consumers are willing to pay more for something that was also probably also from china too. Really difficult to find affordable items in America because the cost of manufacturing the item is too expensive. There wouldn't be enough demand to meet the high cost of supply. Other thing I'm curious about is AI. With autochat robots such as "Manychat" becoming more popular we will see this integrated in the process of Facebook/instagram. That was one of the big topics at Sellercon. As for the way the employees are treated and the conditions it's really hard to say because it depends per country and per the exact fulfillment center. That could be partially true. However, if we're talking about Amazon.UK then the fulfillment centers are likely slower and relaxing to work at. People in the UK aren't as hungry consumers as us shopaholic Americans. Nowww... In high dense locations I'm sure the working conditions should justify higher pay and things might be more chaotic. Such as being near a massive city. I'm sure you can look at the locations of fulfillment centers and see the impact it has on the local trucking companies & the road systems. Where as in low density locations the employees should be accomidated for the conditions. Personally I have no clue on that aspect of Amazon.. I have talked to some employees that work for Amazon and have heard reasonable hourly pay. Depends on a couple variables.. Now idealistically, it would be nice if all employees were getting paid equally.. I do think it would be interesting if employees received shares of equity rather than being paid with hourly. Such as employees receiving the option to receive micro shares & of ownership based on percentage of contribution towards growth. Receiving dividends in perpitutity. However I think it's hard to measure this kind of stuff. Investing time into a company vs captial. It's alot harder to measure time and distrbute things fairly. Personally, I wish there was more of a interpersonal relationship side with businesses and customers. Seems like as businesses get bigger it's harder to know who to trust or what to trust. Let alone the equity side that capitalism should be sharing wealth. The people that generate the vast amounts of wealth should be more transparent and held accountable for how they are contributing to society. Instead of gratifying one's own selfish ego. It's really hard to communicate this stuff.
