barring post-scarcity as a concept, what would be the best way to eliminate the idea of "money"? we all know that money, or rather the pursuit of, is the root of all evil in the world. so how does humanity take the next big leap forward without some science fiction bullshit?

also there are way too many fucking frogs on this board

You're basically asking if everyone is ok with going on a Zelda item fetching quest every time a merchant has something they want but nothing the merchant will except as payment.

And the answer is no.

thats the endgame tho, have AI monitor everyone and plan the economy around that, make predictions and build around that.
that way the economy would always remain in balance, there would be no boom and bust cycles.
the AI decides everything for you.

how did money start? was it always gold or was it things people could actually use? was it like sumeria or whatever where they had little rocks that counted as i.o.u's? i dont think going back to precious metals is feasible at all, because its just another thing to hoard. i dont know what the answer is outside of billions must die etc etc

i know the end game, thats why i said i dont care for it. having some perfect machine model handle all of the fine print just takes the fun out of life. people live, people die, thats how the story goes. but some people live better than others, even though they still die in the end.

You are retarded and have a mental block called low IQ that prevents you from understanding basic economics. Money solves double coincidence of wants, I have an apple and I want a banana, what are the chances of finding a guy who has bananas and wants apples in exchange? See how retarded you are for attacking what solves this fundamental issue with bartering? We need money, it is a tool. The root of all evil is humans because they are scum, that's why we have law, which is also garbage because state dictates it instead of free market.

This is not something you can get around as long as scarcity exist which it always will. Your best bet is taking the courts from the hand of the government to lower crimes that occur over the pursuit of money, state dirties everything it touches, this is the realistic approach. Abolishing money is you and your ilk's pea brain fantasy.

This is retarded, money is a symptom of human desires being whimsical and as long as we have Imagination or Creativity then there will be scarcity, even if only artificial. People will always bandwagon on trends and social forces conspire with our biological desires to make this always true.

Until humans are all cyborgs that transcend our 'feelings' then money will be useful to those who want to exercise their urges. Once we're cyborgs we'll still have electricity and ultimately entropy as a unit of currency.

its not really that much about the individual but the entire world economy.
we dont have unlimited resources to support exponential human growth, as population goes up the quality of life will go down and thats a very simple truth, if we have to divide the resources across more people everyone will have less and eventually you have nothing and famines and riots and wars follow.
Its a funny paradox in this world, you keep promoting healthy families you will make this whole exponential problem worse but if you are promoting the destruction of the family and total control over reproduction and other human misery then you can make a sustainable profit. That paradox tells us everything we can expect from the AI.

Thinking money is the cause of evil or even evil itself is absolutely retarded. Money solves the double coincidence of wants. It's a tool. It is incapable of evil, much less being the root of all evil.

>> No.55451850

Money is a medium to exchange things. If you removed it, people would just use a different medium. Sometimes they would trade people. Does that sound better to you? Life is always going to have an unequal distribution of access to resources. People will always desire resources. These two statements are enough to show that life is going to be unequal ad infinitum. If you want equality, get a religion that has that as part of the afterlife.

Have you ever taken an IQ test? You could erase money and all knowledge of it and you would still have people hurting, killing and deceiving each other for various reasons. Only thing you would achieve is a simpler economy with barter for a while before people invented money again.

I reject this premise as a diversion from the truth.
It is the pursuit of reputation, which has always existed independent of money, which is the root of all "evil" in the world.
Reputation translates to trust, which is the power to be believed.

Nah, man, those who claim crypto is worthless in the real world got it all wrong. We've witnessed real-life applications even with BTC, for real. And let's not forget how the metaverse and cryptocurrencies are straight-up revolutionizing our everyday lives. Just check out what Apple is up to with its sick AR tech or what holoride is doing with mind-blowing VR experiences. These ventures ain't worthless at all, they're paving the way for a whole new existence.
