Question to those whose ego not too big that lets them perceive themselves as better than others. If money didn't exist what do you think our life would've looked like
Its hard to imagine that humans could exist as a reasonably intelligent society, a d not devise a standardized system for valuation and exchange. So your question implies a failure of humanity?
I think you're applying your judgement based on the understanding of what humanity had experienced so far and not by the potential that is based on existing evidence .. you can't cast such a judgement and generalize it from this point of view..
@Burner thanks for asking me a real question i really appreciate it. respectfully.. here is my
Our emotional intelligence hase evolved significantly over the past 100 years
Since humans rights awarenes last century and technology advancement this century, we have grown exponentially .. we are at a very critical point in our development that will soon hit the threshold that could determine whether we're doomed to extinction or wake the fuck up and find a real solution to save our species from extinction.
The afte so many science literature and humans experimentation of breaking out the controlling institutions that holding our advancement up..
I recommend learn about the venus project and the zeitgeist movement.
There is more ti know than can be summarized here.. but this is a start.
@Neenz I think it'd be useful if we had terminology for how much people believed/ wanted to participate in religion.... The gathering of like minded individuals to share rituals related to a common world view/ belief system. It seems like most religions now are theistic (example xtianity, hinduism), but not all (example some sects of Buddhism). To me, this Venus idea seems very religious, and to me thats a turn off. I realize there are people on this site who are atheists but religious, perhaps like yourself?
Your implication, intentional or not, is that people who believe that money drives people to indiscretions believe that primarily because they have oversized egos.
A false positive. I run across people on this site all the time that are supporters of the present form of rapacious capitalism (not the only model of capitslism that exists) that by and large are legends in their own minds. They seem to have overly larger egos compared to the people that question our present model of capitalism.
well we would all have to work in harmony to sustain for the good of the whole ,possesions would be minimal ,only your needs ,wants would have to be something the whole community desired for it to come to reality ,Life a lot more leisurly and stress free in most ways ,but not sure how this would work when it comes to medicine and advancements in making the human race more knowledgeable and the sciences to advance
No internet, electricity, infrastructure, healthcare, limited diet, limited food production, higher infant mortality rates, diseases would be more widespread and harder to contain, ability to travel would be nearly non-existent resulting in increased tribalism, and we'd be lucky to live past 50.
Other than that it sounds ideal.
You really think that money is the source of our development
@Neenz money is the ability to get someone to do something for you they normally wouldn't. Money is the ability to create art, music, literature, discover the wonders of the universe, cure diseases, educate others, and so much more. The reason money allows us to do all those things is because no one person has to do everything just to survive.
Humans were on the barter system for a long, long, long time and life was generally miserable.
