No, it won't work. You get inequality even in money-less societies. E.g. most people use Instagram not for money, but they still compete, and feel good/bad due

No, it won't work.
You get inequality even in money-less societies. E.g. most people use Instagram not for money, but they still compete, and feel good/bad due to inequality - they compete for likes, followers, photo quality, ... - in other words, status.
It's deep in the human psyche. I don't think we can escape it.
- moate 8y agoI think most of us taking up this fight are perfectly fine with people fighting for status and visibility if there aren't children dying of curable diseases and homeless people dying in the streets.
- tomp 8y ago> there aren't children dying of curable diseases and homeless people dying in the streets Then that should be the goal, not eliminating inequality. At least, that's my goal - I see more downsides than upsides from eliminating inequality altogether (e.g. the downfall of communism, no Elon Musk, etc)
