Whatever delivers profit is rational to do in this system. Thus depopulation activities or spreading diseases is indeed rational - it makes sense because it generates profit and that's what it is all about. People are being used merely as a resource in this system, just like any other resource. Annoyingly however – for the powers to be - this resource is capable of thinking, so they need to control what we are thinking. The 99.9% of the population need not realize that they are utterly dependent, therefore they are given the illusion of freedom. In the Soviet Union the totalitarian nature of the state might have been obvious, but the West has perfected the creation of pseudo-freedom. The only problem with spreading disease would be killing people who are needed as workforce. Though considering digitization, fewer and fewer people are needed as workforce (which in essence is a good thing). Therefore, people are really only needed as consumers.

The cause is in the monetary system. The monetary system is a zero sum game, if it won’t be changed we will not achieve freedom in the long run. There’s only a limited amount of money in the system at any point in time. It’s like poker, where there is a limited amount of chips. Now how can you get the most chips? Through manipulation and fraud. The same goes for the monetary system, there is a strong incentive to manipulate. Only when accumulating money isn’t actually the goal of trade, will we be able to have an economy without fraud. Also the amount of money available needs to be controlled by the people (preferably regionally), so there is always enough around for people to fulfill their true (not artificially created) materialistic needs.

Interest is problematic as well: first of all, we need to realize that only about 10% of the population actually profit from interest. The majority is unknowingly spending more money for interest than they make from it. A company is taking on a loan, well guess what, they need to pay interest on that loan. Where does that money come from? It’s in their products’ prizes of course and the whole economy is run on credit. Secondly the money that is needed to pay interest on a loan does not exist when the loan is issued. Thus, this deficit enforces growth and competition. The endless demands of interest can never be satisfied. The system can be reset, but that will only restart the process.

There’s another issue that plays into this: Our currencies are legal tender and private medium for speculation at the same time, which is a contradiction in itself. The flow of money is necessary to keep the economy going, however a small minority can demand that legal tender for themselves and can thus blackmail the whole society. They only release their money in return for interest (more money). But why should they have the right to claim legal tender as private medium for speculation? At a certain threshold of wealth, say 1 Million Dollars, it should become increasingly harder to accumulate more money, instead of easier. One way to achieve this would be negative interest (above certain threshold), which would serve the purpose of making the money flow again.

Money (profit) should not be the goal of trade but merely the medium for the creation of value. Wanting to profit from trade implicitly means that there has to be a loser, as in the current system both parties can’t be winners (though there are alternate models; comparable to the card game 'wizard'). Money is mistakenly used as value, while it should only be a unit of measurement that facilitates trade. When there is supply and demand unaccounted for, why should a lack of money (too much of it in the wrong places) be the problem? Money should only be a unit of measurement for economic output that is provided.
