Topic: Would you rather live in a 'moneyless' world? (Read 2471 times)
Forget about the complications and negatives of living in a moneyless world for one second, but don't you think humanity could finally advance?
I don't know about humanity, but I do love money quite much and simply could not live without it
No. I can't imagine a liveable place without money.
Why did you interpret my words as condescending?
A monetary system is the opposite of sharing. Money constricts humanity's progress and is the cause of all that is wrong today.
Money enslaves us, only once we share will we find true freedom, only once we share will we find true peace, for to attain true freedom and inner peace, we must realize we are all one.

Because you act like you are above us and assume that no-one here understands the concept of sharing and co-operation, or even what a monetary system is for that matter. Granted most of the posts in this thread expressed a belief in the need of either a monetary or barter system, but once more if you actually read every post you would see that there is a few of us here who feel differently.

Can anyone recall the concept of sharing?
Working together? For the betterment of everyone?
Anyone?
Jesus, I don't believe you are in any position to be so condescending, besides if you actually read every post in this thread I think you'd find the answer is, yes. Working together? For the betterment of everyone?

Money is a useful tool to have. If I brought back a deer from hunting and I offered somebody part of the meat if he'll help me cook it, he might be like, "No way, I don't like venison and anyway I'm roasting a rabbit I caught." The idea of money probably came about because people were getting a lot of that, so they decided they needed some kind of a place-holder they can use to exchange goods and services that are available now for goods and services that might be available later.
I feel like it would be impossible to live in a money less world now.
If there will be no money in that world there has to be something else similar to money.Like in the movie 'In Time' it was shown that time is used as money.There will always be something in money spot even if it's not actual money itself.
Probably just end up being a bartering world.
I can live in a moneyless world. That if everyone is living moneyless. I dont want to get jealous..

there could be a point based system which accredits your education, knowledge, skills, work done, achievements etc into state regulated profile that is then lets you have access to better job, services, items, holidays etc according to your staus. though if you are disabled or unable to work then you can still receive basic support - being disble dont make you useless though, can still do education, art, music, phylosophy or whatever. able people that dont want to work should get help and encouragement or even punishment if needed. basically it would be a some form of socialist system. so yeah moneyless system in 21 century digital world is quite possible in theory, though in practice only if the international banking kabal system is toppled and some wars are fought over then we could get there within 10-30 years or so. but people infected with greed and corruption will have to be taken care of or/and rehabilitated somehow.
Currency is an optimal way to transmit information from consumers to the manufacturer of goods.
Even socialist republics are using money to maintain the delivery of information about the requirements which should be fulfilled.

It's impossible at current civilization development stage, so no sense in this question. You won't understand how to live in such world, just like cave man won't understand the modern society.Even socialist republics are using money to maintain the delivery of information about the requirements which should be fulfilled.
it's almost impossible to live in a world without money today
You cannot survive without money because we all depend on this People at the beginning of civilization lived without money.
If they wanted something they exchanged with something of the similar value, food for food etc.
Of course, in modern society something like this is not possible but I can imagine that paper money will gradually disappear and replaced with cards or just virtual money.
I don't think that virtualization will be the end in the evolution of money. I think we will ultimately live in a 'moneyless' world, but not in the way most people in this thread might think.
Money as we know it could be replaced by an highly efficient automatic barter system where each good and service is directly exchanged into other goods and services based on the requirements of the people doing the barter. So money as an intermediary would become obsolete. Actually it would be a recourse to the beginning of civilization but with improved efficiency due to technological advancement.
ya.ya.yo!
world where everyhere using only bitcoins through mobile phones
sounds like heaven

Sounds like enslavement. The distribution of wealth of bitcoin is hardly better than the dollar.
All we must do is remove money and acknowledge karma. There will be a race for energy, happiness. Everyone will do as much as they can to spread as much love around them, as they will learn that it all comes back to them.
If you have to be paid (bribed) to take care of your fellow men, then something is severely wrong. There is a complete imbalance of spiritual energy if humanity lacks basic feeling such as empathy and compassion.
When we have people dying of thirst when we have machines to desalinate salt water and people dying of hunger when our world produces enough food to feed 10 billion, that's how you know something is not right.
People have been living and harvesting food for millennia, they didn't just forget how to grow food, greed is the cause of the desolation of mankind.

I would prefer that. If everyone had to trade instead of grabbing for dollars, then people would only have as much as they contribute.
If you insist on trading for goods you may as well stick with money. It is by far the best tool to facilitate trade. However, if people weren't so selfish and petty, we could move on to a gift economy. (Not to be confused with charity or an actual exchange of gifts.) The world is a place of abundance, believe it or not, and scarcities are manufactured for the sake of profits. You wouldn't be so worried about what other people were contributing, since it wouldn't entirely matter, but I feel that mutual aid is nonetheless the ultimate goal. If we became responsible individuals and got our priorities straight, we could (for the most part) do as we wish and our "job/work" could be something we loved doing, even ever changing as we grow intellectually and spiritually, supported by all and not just a means of supporting ourselves and family.
Sadly, I do not see us ever giving up money, luxuries, militaries, various religious beliefs or any of the other many things and ideals that we believe we cannot be without, yet are the very things which keeps us seperated. Hence we are doomed as a species and will condemn multitudes of other species along with ourselves to the same dismal fate.
Have a nice day.

ABSOLUTELY! It's called a gift society and is based in love. It will never happen.
I could see this 'not-reality' happening right now:

People's priorities would have to change and it would take a great deal of responsibility. So ya, never gonna happen.
