/biz/ what would you do with your life if money were not a thing?

If you were granted food and shelter, what would you do once you wake up? What would make you happy? What would be the purpose of your life?

I think I would study theoretical physics instead of applied physics like I do now. Applied physics is great in a world with money because the whole point with applied phys is literally to make theory into technology, which then makes money. But if money weren't a thing I would just want to find out how it all works.

I would spend a lot of time enjoying the little things. I would spend more time with people. I would live somewhere with nice weather and a beach close by. I would study cosmology and particle physics. I would hope to be alive to find out if we're alone in the universe. I would probably read a lot more philosophy compared to what I read now.

The more I write the more this sounds like me in 50 or 60 years

I actually did theoretical astrophysics for a while. Trying to understand the dark ages. I lost all interest in the field after actually working in it...

I'm going to switch to experimental AMO. I'm at a really good school for it. Plus it looks fun as hell. Most of the AMO research that goes on here is at this weird boundary between pure and applied.

The only real reason we men are so obsessed with money is because that's what women want.

Nobody on /biz/ will ever admit it of course, but this is the truth.

Women will tell you that they don't care about any of that, but we all know darn to well that this is false.

A woman, by an evolutionary perspective, is hard wired to be attracted to a man who has resources

We on /biz/ compensate for whatever favorable traits we do not possess through money.

Is there women legitimately do not care about money?

Hard to say.

This is why we buy all of this useless materialistic possessions.

To flaunt our resources.

I'am fairly certain that all any man, regardless of the circumstances, would only desire a kind and moderately attractive loving woman to be cared for by.

Regardless if they refuse to deny it or not.

>I lost all interest in the field after actually working in it...
Why? I remember back when I was working on my master's (doing my PhD now) I had a subject called "Gravity & Cosmology" and I absolutely loved it. What exactly made you lose interest in it?

AMO sounds cool btw (Assuming you're talking about atomic molecular optics, right?), I'm mostly in the field of particle physics, including, but not limited to, quantum physics, nuclear physics and plasma physics. Not a whole lotta optics beyond the mandatory stuff tho

Humans have two primary functions:

1) Reproduce

2)Survive

So yes, you are indeed getting money to fuck bitches, though it may not be the one and only primary reason.

Your an autistic fuck if you believe otherwise.

I would probably kill myself because the implications of no currency would mean that there is virtually no purpose for economists.

To be honest I live for this shit.

All of the other sciences are either too boring or too homogenized.

Speak for yourself. I want money because it's money and you can buy stuff with it. Not everyone is so desperate and starved of pussy that in their mind everything is defined in terms of getting women. I have a friend like you, he never gets any but he's always talking about how he's gonna get pussy and how all his working out is going to make him popular with the ladies. Fucking obnoxious.

They can be cheap, anyhow. Unless you're really trying to have a long-term relationship, you don't really need money to bang them a few times and move on to the next. Not more than $100 per woman (for dates), anything over that and they're too expensive.

I would spend the rest of my life hiking across the world.
