Here's a crazy documentary: The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

Tho they should have focused more how it is this Trade Society that pushes people to create such "industries" and "businesses" that put people at risk. If it wasn't for this incentive we would live in a sort of paradise by now.

I wasn't really replying about the trade aspect, but about the reason why users where unhappy.

I generally agree with what you have in mind about "trade". Though "trade" is a very broad word, and not intrinsically negative. We trade with people everyday. I can trade a favour from a dear friend with a favour to them from me. Or trade something I don't need but someone else needs with something they don't need but I do. So, as I see it, trade can also happen with empathy and love.

What you mean, I would maybe call it "commerce". But maybe that isn't the right word either...

I understand and I agree, this is why when this comes up I always say I mean trade inside our society - the marketplace. The need to trade in order to make it in this world. I explained in detail in the book from the post. Mutually agreed favors can be ok, for sure. But a company is not that, or a job, etc.. They are forced exchanged with consequences.

So the need to trade and the fact that trade is at the core of our society and you cannot do without, is the problem. That is what I mean. I hope I made it more clear.

Echoes from Below: Exploring Britain’s Caves - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

Here's a wonderful and positive documentary. I'd love to see a series about cave exploring since these are such alien places on earth :)
