I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG

Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them.  Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.

True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.

Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)

Maybe what you say is true and has reason for sufficient reason. But in my opinion even though humans are not motivated by money, humans still need money to continue their lives. It is true that he is devoted to science, but does he not need clothes? food? drink? etc. so in my opinion money is the basic thing that humans must have.

You are right about the cavemen painting 20,000 years ago not thinking about money. But in these generations where people cannot do a thing without money, I doubt if they have any motivations that does not involve money.

Bruh...

You don't know how wrong you're here. 99% of the people are motivated by money. Tesla won't be here,had it not been for profit. Money is what makes people get going, which is bad. Money is more important to people than anyfuckingthing else. I'd humbly suggest you read up on the shit that keeps happening in this world.

I can not say that people are not motivated by money because money is the number one reason why we are here investing our money in crypto looking for a better future. We strive everyday we work hard to earn money and this is the reality to us.

Well i do think there is something different that motivate people even for tesla. Back in there tesla are motivated to create something perfect that can deliver electricity to every home in the world. He even arguing with his senior edison who invented the light bulb. They got different ide and somehow tesla idea is the one that are success. I believe there is nothing wrong to be motivated by money and i do believe we do need something that motivated us to keep us a live, its not always have to be money but maybe family, job or anything else could motivated you to do better.

People are doomed to earn money to live a better life, and the more people gain, the happier they are. For this reason, I believe that money is a good source of motivation for people. It always makes people who earn more income more happy and always try to do better to increase their current income. For example, if a company pays additional income to its staff, it will be more efficient to see that the personnel work more efficiently. Therefore, I believe that money is a good source of motivation and morale for people. In the end, we strive to live a better life and we need to make more money to achieve this better life. So, what do we do to reach this life? We make money. We use money as a source of motivation to earn money and reach that life.

Unfortunately, this is the truth of the modern life which cannot go on if you do not have the money. I am sure that it is exactly money which motivates people to work hard.

People are very much motivated by money. They may say they aren't, but when it comes down to, it single individual will reference it in an argument they need to win.

I absolutely agree, even I don't trust my eyes if I read that people are not motivated by money. Money was and always will be the most powerful motivator ever. And people that have really enough money want just more money!

Even if the innovators are true to their intentions of helping the world be a better place to live in they are still under the payroll of large companies who are waiting for them to innovate to get paid. This is the current scene we are seeing now, the largest chunk of any billion dollar company is dedicated to Research and Development and they are not doing this to innovate freely but to take advantage and earn profit from what they do. We cannot pretend that they are doing this to help the world freely anymore.

In reality, things are even worse than that

The R$D departments aren't innovating for the betterment, well-being or welfare of humankind as many erroneously assume. They are innovating exclusively out of profit motives only. In practice, it often means that they may develop, design, or invent something very useful (say, a cure for cancer) but since they are exclusively profit-oriented, corporations don't necessarily try to market their invention as fast as possible, which you would expect from someone actually interested in pushing the progress forward and helping the world. They will likely postpone the production until their previous product is paid for by the market and its profit potential is fully exploited

People pushed onto something and do it with greatness is due to their personal desire, a hunger and thirst to prove themselves, and a call of a need. Hence, the pursuit of something does not involve a motivation by money. Hypocrite am I if I will not receive payment in exchange on what I did to others because that is my work and work need to be payed off. However, money is just a shallow representation and source of motivation. Because we know deep down inside that we are doing things in accordance to the burning fire of passion within us and because of happiness. We tend to cometimes do things for money but later did we realize that money is nothing if we cannot achieve happiness in there. At the end of the day, we are successful not just because of the motivation by money.

As far as I am concerned, for those people with true passion for something and creating solutions to problems, the idea of being able to create those solutions, make name and get recognized for it, is already a very huge innovation for them.

These days though, we would not lie to ourselves, that people in this category are a lot less as everyone is actually just looking for ways they can get hands on their money and even with all the passion to solve problems, create and innovate, you can still get frustrated if you are hungry. Just saying!

it is not true. people are just motivated by money, they think that money can buy everything but in time they realize that they made a mistake
all the necessities of life in the world are all rewarded with money, so of course money is our goal to trade to work even to do something evil, all the goals are very clear namely money, if they don't need money maybe they are very rich or they are approaching death became money for them had no meaning anymore.
that's right dude , all people in this world work in order to get money to fullfill their daily needs.no one working without any purpose.if they did it maybe they have no need

We have motivated the people by giving the way how can increase earning and have love what he did, many people do not love what they are doing and its why some of them could not get what they want.
These days, looking at the fact that you may still need some money to be able to do some of the things you need to innovate, it is still very necessary, However, for someone that is highly motivated by the desire to want to create things, bring about an impact to the world and be able to tell himself how much he must have achieved at the end of it all, will always find the drive even during any challenges as it keeps coming irrespective. It is how it is, but we cannot always have everyone thinking the same way, can we ?

As some are there to want to innovate, some are just simply out there for the money.

That is a very idealistic view of humanity. A question whether what really drives a person or what motivates them. I think what capitalism is gunning for is so that people are not lazy and just rely on other to get by. But then today, the elites have hoarded insane amounts of resources that others are left without.

This will varies because of the people's different way of thinking. Some maybe motivated becuse they need it, but some will not because they have it.

Money is not a motivation by the most. People don't see money as a motivation. What motivates them is the passion they have for something. The result of what they do or the positive outcome is also what they are motivated. Just like in bitcoin, I believe some of here makes the learning as the motivation for engaging in here. However, we cannot hide the fact that some of us are being motivated by money.

Exactly, passion makes them invest more into crypto even they are losing their value. Motivation is based on the passion they have because they will stand at peaks to feel joyful while they make little money. Money is not motivated which makes them feel more joy when their passion becomes true.
