Gunnar Jarl, consort of Queen Ywonne.
Greetings!
I see that you have thought a bit about economics in Ladonia.
But the point here is not to apply the economic system of other countries
to our ladonian reality. My dislike of the worthy queens "porky"
business is of pure aesthetic kind. I do not like the system of
the western world where everything today is built on money and how to get them.
Now I am very well aware of the philosophy behind Gunnar Jarls arguments,
I assume they are built on the thougts of Rudolf Steiner and mme Blavatsky,
shortly said the antroposophic thougts. How well they may fit in
on the daily life on the estate of Bjorksater, the do not fit in on the
ladonian system.
The point here is, in Ladonia as I see it, we do not use money at all. What we
do is to share thougths and creativity with each other. An "economic" system with
much higher values than the pure monetary one.
But alas, we are all prisoners of the moneymongers without heart and soul. We all
have to toil for our daily bread in the world and country in wich we live. So I
can not condemn our queens business with pigs. Especially not since it is
ecological and kind to natures rules. But in Ladonia, let us hold on to the
principle of sharing our creativity and not even think of being paid money for this.
As ladonians, we have a golden opportunity to raise ourselves over the level of
materialistic thinking.
