Simply asking the question is uninteresting. Anyone can ask things like this. What’s interesting is if you can answer it and provide me some insights I haven’t thought of. It’s not like this question is new. How and why do we do what we do? Money is the most common shorthand for stored energy to do things that need help from other people (there are others but they’re slippery). Attention is the feedback we get from others that helps us measure if the things we do resonate positively or negatively with others. We only need money if we want to do things, bigger things more money. Want to free yourself from the need for money? Go limp. Want to free yourself for the need for attention? Stop caring what anyone thinks. But if you excise caring entirely you become a sociopath. If you eliminate money entirely you can’t reliably get anyone to do anything for you including feeding, clothing, and housing you.
