Why would technological advancements stop in a world with no money?

It wasn't capitalism that invented satalite communications, nuclear energy, the internet etc, it was brilliant minds. Capitalism just made it possible in a world were resourses cost money.

In a world with no money, these scientists and brilliant minds don't dissapear. Instead they have better resourses (because they are free) to invent better technology. I think, in a world with no money, technology advances quicker than in a capitalist society.

 

That's just silly. I can't believe there's still educated people that believe in such miths.

 

Why?

Genius' aren't driven by money.

Name a poor genius... Knoweldge used to just be the past time of the rich. The people in the past like Darwin weren't geniuses. They were largely just rich.

Arcimedes for example is a genius who was motivated by money.

 

 

I said that (the majority) weren't motivated by money, not that they were poor. I doubt Darwin came up with the theory of evolution to pay the bills. More likely was on a quest for knowledge. Darwin was a genius, how can you say he wasn't?

Einstien worked in the swiss patent office doing physics in his spare time when he wrote his 5 papers in 1905.

Because Darwin was just rich enough to go to a part of the world few people could.  Where there were animals who were very similar yet slightly different.

Furthermore Not all discoveries are made by what you define a genius.  Lots and lots of discoveries are made by smart people who really don't give a damn about what they're good at.

What if some of the people who are really could at medical technology right now would have rather been videogame programmers or car mechanics etc?

I disagree that the majority of people that event shit aren't motivated by money.

I mean if that were true capitalistic companies wouldn't be so far ahead when it comes to technology.
