RE: Today Is the 45th Anniversary of The Most Destructive Event In Modern Monetary History

in #money8 years ago

really money is infinite while it exists, its form may change or more accurately convert... but as a means of exchange it will always exist until the day machines can create free food, water, clothing, shelter, tech etc...

Sort:  

Nature already invented free food, water, clothing, and shelter. She even put it all in one plant and also made it the most powerful medicine on earth--it's called cannabis. But for those that like a challenge, she also spread the resources all across the land. People just forgot how to provide for themselves.

Its just a plant. It takes slavery to convert into useful things. Living naturally is free yes, but it can be seen as a kind of physical slavery. Because I have to slave away for hours a day to grow food, build and maintain shelter etc etc. The reason machines exist it to eliminate all forms of slavery so I can have free time all the time.

#1 It's not slavery if you're doing something you enjoy. #2 Cannabis is one of the easiest plants to grow, and you don't have to do anything to it to make it food and medicine. #3 If you depend upon it, you will always be a slave to the machine.

Go and grow enough hemp to eat etc and come and tell me if it was fun. It would be pure slavery. Personally, I appreciate how machines make my life easier and see how they could one day make life totally free of slavery. I don’t see the dependence as a negative thing, as it is a worse kind of slavery to revert back and not use them.
Also hemp is not easy to grow. No food is, it takes care and lots of attention to get a good yield. Something I'd rather let machines do so I can forget about doing it myself. Machines are a way for humans to move past limitations.
