"oh i think you misunderstand, im thinking of a Utopia were money doesent exist (as we have technology that provides everything we need) im not an authoritarian either btw (as ive said like a million times, but you never listen)"

 

Getting paid zero, is getting paid the same.

i think the stupidity of that post is obvious, youre complaning that in a world were money dosent exist, that people have no money? i mean, in this world we dont have Dragons, but im not complaining that we dont...

besides, that was one idea i through out there for a Utopia, its completley irelevant to the debate

 

I see the problem now. You don't attach money to anything, it's just money.

Money is nothing more then the conversion of my time into something tradable. If I desire more things in my life, I must either expend more effort, or increase the value of my efforts to society. (work harder/longer, or learn a more complex skill).

If I expend the energy to do those things, I am rewarded with more tradable value, and thus can improved my quality of life.

The old saying “Money is time, and time is money” is 100% true. If we had no money, we would have no way of improving our standard of living through work.
