Imagine how the human race would progress if we didn't operate as slaves to a system of arbitrary tokens that we invented to facilitate trading.
No I don't have the answer - I ain't paid enough to work on that.
- anigbrowl 12y agoThose tokens are just proxies for the energy and material resources we consume. One can easily imagine power becoming too cheap to meter within a few decade, but if you want a steak someone still has to raise and feed the cow it comes from, if you want a house someone has to grow the wood or mine the metal used to build the frame, etc. etc. Money arises out the fact that resources are scarce and not always conveniently fungible.
