>>47878322>You seem overconcerned about human nature in the conventional sense of being a set of predetermined, preprogrammed behaviorsIt's actually the opposite, I'm admitting that it's arrogant to think one can model human behavior relying only on the knowledge we can possibly have for two reasons: what we can observe is limited by our five senses, and such system would require to defy causality.
In the case of the latter, the Scholastics defined a theory of value in which only God knows the value of a thing as you need to know the future use of it. In practice, they coincide with the Austrian School and their subjective theory value.
I've read a little about the "Resource Based Economy" and it sounds to me like central planned economy with some sugar sprinkled on it. Moreover, what they criticize of "capitalism" is the mistakes of utilitarism and keynesianism. Mandatory fiat currency and central banking indeed waters down people's savings through arbitrary and endless emission. That's why I personally view cryptocurrencies with optimism.
About human nature, to a certain extent people adapt to their terrain in order to search ways to organize themselves, but there are certain rules that are shared through every civilization that have passed the test of time. When these values, which rule what we perceive as good or evil in a deeper level, are put into question, cultures and civilizations fail.
Of course, on top of those, people search through trial and error ways to organize, protect, feed themselves and devise ways to transcend materially and spiritually. To think that one can remove man from their context (be it motherland, spirituality, or the legacy of their ancestors) is the biggest mistake progressivists make as they are seduced with reenginering society from scratch, but I believe mankind spontaneously find their way.
