great questions and answers Jonathan! I always have the same questions and answers! When I was young already, why are there trees everywhere but all trees with food are not everywhere? Also they always created the problem in the first place. Last time I had to pick up my parents wiyh tb car. Had to park at the hospital (paid parking). My mom told me, there is a great parking app, not filling the meter anymore. The goverment is so smart she said, great innovation! I said parking was free 10 years ago. They created this paid parking problem and I allready pay goverment and car taxes. Why must I pay again??? Funny that people doesnt see who creates all the problems to control us.
i wonder about things like delayed gratification. i wonder about GIVING people the FREEDOM to settle for less than what they could get. i think about things like a parent letting their child touch a hot pan to teach them about heat and why it's dangerous. Would you remove that lesson? How can anyone grow when they are invisible? How could cold beer ever be as good as it is after a long day of mowing and weed eating? To sit in the shade and get an ice cream headache from powering one down so cold it has small chips of ice in it. i LIKE the pain in life. i may even love it. i dont want unlimited abundance (i dont think). But that doesn't mean i mind you having it. If you get it, pitch me down a blessing now and then. Tell the boys up top i say "hello".
One of the reasons I pitch unlimited everything in abundance is from the tremendous release from lies and illusions that it provided. Once I got a cable modem and a CD burner, I was able to download as much music as I wanted and this helped me evaluate music as a whole, especially the genre that I was listening to of “rap music”. Once I was able to hear anything I wanted, I was able to see the patterns and the preposterousness of the message and the limited talent that was there. Illusions and phony value can be created when things are restricted from you . But once you get to see behind the curtain and see the abundance of it all, do you realize how lame it actually is. Same with video games . Once I acquired the emulators and was able to download 40,000+ video games, I was able to than see it’s all the same thing repackaged over and over again . Gaining abundance of these two things for me freed my Time from wasting it on rap music and video games, but it also helped me save money by not having to pay for it, which also in return, saved my time of having to earn the money to acquire these illusory things . And through this, I determined that abundance and access to anything you want, then allows you to be picky and choosy without an opportunity cost other than the time that you invest . There always is a cost and the cost is your time but at least you won’t be wasting your time or your money .
Jonathan, Man, i have turned this over in my head a lot. By "this" i mean : unlimited abundance. i dont specifically remember you using the word UNLIMITED, but, it seems like what you're descibing. My knee jerk reaction is to disagree. But, i recognize a bit of hypocrisy in my challenging that idea. As a christian, i believe in eternal life. That's unlimited time. So, if i believe a thing like time might be unlimited, then why couldn't i believe in unlimited air conditioning or beach front property? In a case like beach front property, would the existence or creation of a living entity proceed the creation of a beach where that being might exist and call its own? And...if it were known before hand that the being in question would never choose to live on a beach, would that beach even be created? i dont know if i agree or disagree with an unlimited abundance. i DO believe in eternal life though i really dont know what "eternal life" is. i'd like to drink cold beer and argue this out in person. Regardless, you got me thinking.
@@jonathanlippe But doesn't it undo creation? Once the humans go god mode, what about the next in line? What about monkeys? Maybe monkeys already live in the abundance you're describing. What about deer? Do they finally get a break from the wolf? Does the guppy no longer swim from the shark?
@@jonathanlippe But, to your point, i remember when Napster started providing free music. Unlimited free music. i was totally against it. Now, i have access to anything ever recorded (almost) via CZcams. It didnt rob me of a desire to listen to music and as far as im aware, people still make music. So...i cant completely disagree with you.
The Lizard Iguanas lived in fearless total abundance on that island. They'd take in the sun, have lizard intercourse, eat the bugs that flew by, enjoy life. All lived in harmony with no predators.

Life is complicated enough without people making it more complicated.
I want to complicate the people’s lives that complicate mine.
Yes, you can produce your own power!
Yes. Solar Panels. But the price it costs it’s a wash.
Hello is anybody out there?
“Huhroah….. huhroah…?”
Hello Scott
