Well yeah, people in the current society do need money.
Well if you don’t like money, why do you need it so much?! /s
No no, that’s a farse and a uniquely human construct. Name me even one other species of creature that utilizes anything even remotely similar to money to survive…
We don’t need money to survive, we just submit ourselves to the government that orders us to use it.
Edit: I guess the downvoters don’t understand any other way of life, like owning a piece of dirt you can live on and grow your own farm and survive self sufficiently…
And yeah it sucks, I’m not in a self sufficient area myself anymore, because government and corporations have taken that from most of us.
Gotta pay mortgage, land tax, rent, electric, water, sewer, internet, phone, etc…
Somehow the rest of the creatures survive without money.
Other species don’t need clean water, clothes, complex tools and growing food. This makes their life simpler yet limits their number and habitat.
Try to live in a village growing own food. It’s a hard work, especially if you have cattles or other domestic animals. Villagers work from early morning to evening because there’s a lot things to do. Living in a city is much easier.
Is it not true though that this is seasonal and overall people that live this way work less than the average person living a modern life?
It is not like you get home from work and have no chores etc. Realistically a lot of the work these people do is something that a person with a house would call chores / upkeep.
Are you trolling?
If you’re not trolling, I would point out that modern (knowledge) workers work a lot, sure. But harder or more than farmers and laborers? No way.
He’s not trolling, but my guess is he read Sapiens and that’s his current gospel.
Animals don’t need it!
Sure, but they also get eaten and die of tooth-rot.
People die of tooth rot while sitting in the emergency room, and even apply to be eaten, so what’s ya point?
Someone wants to be eaten= eVeRy One MusT bE eAtEn!!1!
How do I do that in our current society?
If I vow to never come within 2 feet of money ever again I’ll die within 2 months
Point is, if money didn’t exist in the first place, we wouldn’t literally have to pay for a box and piece of dirt to sleep on.
That’s basically the original scam, charging people to have somewhere to sleep. Like, doesn’t the Earth belong to all of us? Why do we live in a society where not only do you have to pay for facilities, you can’t even grow your own garden in said facilities?
We’re literally paying to get screwed. Everyone should have the right to find themselves a piece of dirt and go build themselves a log cabin and a farm if they so choose.
Again, humans are totally capable of being self sufficient, we’re just too fucking lazy and oppressed by big business and government to do anything about it.

I’d love that actually. But I guess we will have to build that society for ourselves, and our overlords will probably be violent about it if we try.
Uh yeah, until society can change one still has to participate in it
I mean wanting to not need money doesn’t mean that you don’t need money right now
I envision a world without cancer. But until then, pass the sunscreen.
