>giving it to others is not natural Money is a completely unnatural invention - nothing about it is “natural”, so I don’t see this as a strong argument.

  > Money is a completely unnatural invention Not unless human society itself is "unnatural". The reasons why money gets invented are common to all human societies that get beyond the tribal stage; money is as natural as the human societies that invent it are.

    >Not unless human society itself is "unnatural". Society is created by humans. Therefore it is man made, not made by nature. You don't have to change nature to change society, you can change society by changing humans, which is a very specific subset of nature and not very representative of nature as a whole. The problems that can easily be solved by money may be natural but we still get to decide how we implement money and the way we do it can create human made problems.

      > Society is created by humans. Therefore it is man made, not made by nature. Okay, then that just means "unnatural" is not a bad thing, unless you think society is a bad thing. But if you think society is a bad thing, why are you taking advantage of the benefits it provides? I assume you are, because if you weren't, you wouldn't be able to post here. > you can change society by changing humans Really? And how do you propose to do that? Particularly without grossly violating the rights of the humans you want to change?
