Yes. The movie admits it doesn't have THE answer, rather A partial answer.
Thanks for the additional information.
Also,
I think if you think it would require billions to accomplish you may be
missing the point of a resource economy based in principles of
abundance. One of the first steps in moving into this direction is
creating and distributing already available abundance to ween our self
off of a monetary system. I am uncertain of exactly how to go about
this. The first thing I am going to start is creating a technologically
savvy self-sustainable community that relies on as little money as
possible pulling its resources from abundance in the immediate
meta-community. Also by generating discussions such as this one on how
to start doing it on a larger scale, while exploring other ideas such
as the ones you mention below.
Another way to transition into
a resource based economy from a monetary debt based economy is by
creating small localized monetary value based economies. Many
communities are already doing this.
Thanks again for the info,
zaq
