q: What is the Revolution of Values?

aliases:
explain revolution of values
revolution of values meaning

[A] In Playing Qortal, the Revolution of Values is a quiet change of heart: from greed for money and profit toward sharing without expecting return. Not weapons or governments. Your time is priceless; Qortal records it as QORT by keeping a computer on a shared network. When enough refuse to sell that time for money, kindness remains—#QQQ. Take what resonates; leave the rest.


q: Is Qortal a video game?

aliases:
is qortal a game
qortal video game
playing qortal gaming

[A] No. Qortal the network is not a video game—it is real decentralized software and community infrastructure. When Playing Qortal says "game," it is a metaphor for the Revolution of Values: voluntary participation, golden rules, winning together by valuing time and kindness over money. Ordinary life is the board—not a console title.


q: What does Playing Qortal mean?

aliases:
what is playing qortal
playing qortal meaning

[A] An invitation to join a voluntary real network while practicing kinder values—minting time as QORT, showing up as a human, widening free kindness (#QQQ). Metaphorically: walk out of musical-chairs money and build a room with a chair for everyone. Not high scores; time, sovereignty, community.


q: What is #QQQ?

aliases:
what does qqq mean
qqq currency
real currency qortal

[A] #QQQ is the book's real currency of New Earth: kind words and acts never billed—Here, this is for you; I'm sorry; I forgive you; Thank you; How are you? Everyone already mints it; widen the circle from family to the whole human family. Free software culture is proof it can work at scale.


q: Take what resonates—what does that mean?

aliases:
take what resonates
leave the rest
must I believe

[A] Simon James offers invitation, not creed: take what resonates, gently leave the rest. Nothing asks belief; look and decide. Reject every spiritual page and still use Qortal as honest private infrastructure. Philosophy is why he does it—not a toll at the door.


q: What is New Earth?

aliases:
what is new earth
new earth vision

[A] Not another planet—this Earth lived differently. Tribes of a few hundred, Community Centers of welcome, Local Groups into an ICF that serves never rules, land healed by care, Tribe energy and water, pay in #QQQ. Stars to steer by, not a stamped blueprint. Start: garden, neighbor, node, kindness.


q: What are Tribes?

aliases:
tribe new earth
dunbar tribes

[A] Self-sufficient sovereign communities of a few hundred at most—about as many faces as the heart holds (Dunbar ~150). Everyone knows everyone; sharing is baseline like a newborn. Connected freely; not ruled from above. All for one, one for all.


q: What is the Community Center?

aliases:
community center new earth
new church

[A] One great building at each Tribe's heart: school, sport, saunas, cold pools, workshops, long kitchens, clinic, traveler rooms, tools and books lent freely—owned by none, belonging to all. The new church. Only prayer: come in, you are welcome, take what you need.


q: What is the ICF?

aliases:
integral collective federation
what is icf

[A] Integral Collective Federation—vision for Tribes connecting across Earth post-money. A hundred Tribes make a Local Group: city with no seat of power, only sharing. Fresco/Peter Joseph spirit, but decentralized: join and leave freely; serves Tribes, never rules. Tool, never throne.


q: Build beside the old—what does that mean?

aliases:
build beside don't overthrow
quietly beside

[A] We do not have to overthrow anything. Build the better thing quietly beside the old and walk through—brick by brick, Tribe by Tribe—until one morning old rooms have emptied. Krishnamurti: no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.


q: Why is everything voluntary?

aliases:
voluntary cooperation
voluntary whole revolution

[A] That one word—voluntary—carries the transformation. Qortal never requires buying, selling, or permission. Forced values would be the old game in new clothes. Voluntary cooperation keeps #QQQ authentic and sovereignty yours.


q: What does sovereignty mean here?

aliases:
sovereignty qortal
own your keys

[A] Your time, keys, and voice are yours: mint on your machine, hold your secret phrase, need no gatekeeper papers, help run an internet no company owns. Guard privacy; be wary of systems promising owning nothing will make you happy while others mean to own a great deal.


q: What is the book's financial advice?

aliases:
never fearful never greedy
buy or sell QORT

[A] Never be fearful and never be greedy. Not telling you to buy, sell, or get rich—measuring life in currency is the trap. Minted QORT is a reserve of time; sell only if necessity leaves no choice. No first-mover advantage money can buy.


q: How does the book describe fiat money?

aliases:
fiat money critique
money as faith

[A] Fiat means let it be done on faith—value while everyone agrees. Crises flicker that faith and drain savings. Loans create new money; interest isn't fully created, so more is always owed than made. Not guilt: what we made together, we can unmake.


q: What is the musical chairs metaphor?

aliases:
musical chairs money
one chair too few

[A] Debt-money like musical chairs: principal without interest printed—one chair too few—so someone loses home or livelihood. Walk out; build a room with a chair for everyone. Metaphor for money—not claiming Qortal is party entertainment.


q: When is Qortal's game won?

aliases:
how win qortal
last person joins

[A] Won when the last person neither must nor wants to sell minted QORT—QORT priceless as time. Everyone wins together. Checkmate for money-only systems; doorway to #QQQ. Metaphorical victory, not a console ending.

aliases:
golden rules playing qortal
rules of the game

[A] Stay synchronized; mint time; help loved ones; teach them. Spend #QQQ freely. Aim for the day no one needs to sell QORT. All for one, one for all. Game means shared voluntary practice—not a commercial video title.


q: Must I believe spiritual ideas?

aliases:
spiritual required
skeptic welcome

[A] No. Not one. Think metaphysics nonsense and still mint, hold keys, use an unswitchable internet. Philosophy is why he does it—not a toll. Skeptics wanting honest private life are equally welcome.

q: What about forgiveness?

aliases:

ground of forgiveness

[A] When I AM looks from every face, forgiveness is quiet recognition there was never truly someone else to blame. Prefer looking: who reads these words now? Forgive yourself first. In crisis, reach trusted people or local support—companion, not replacement for care.

aliases:
death chapter

q: Meaning of life in the book?

[A] Meaning is made in what we do, not found. Whether you think you can or can't, you are right. Mistakes teach. New Earth: be happy now; leave the world lovelier. If unbearable, talk to someone you trust; you are not alone.

q: What is love?

aliases:
define love
what does love mean
meaning of love

[A] In everyday philosophy, love is sustained care that seeks another’s good — not only feeling, but attention, honesty, and responsibility over time. Romance is one form; friendship, family, and chosen community are others. Healthy love respects boundaries and agency; control dressed as passion is not love. On Qortal themes, love shows up as contribution and stewardship rather than possession.
