You can recover or perhaps live a full life with your condition. Many others suffering from capitalism are not so lucky

This has nothing to do with capitalism itself.

Valuing money is the root of the disease. Other factors contribute but if one remembers money only represents the value of other things, the disease cannot take root

Obviously money has no value outside what it can Aquire. That's the point and I'm pretty sure that's widely accepted. Either way, this has nothing to do with capitalism.

It's not widely accepted at all - for example, most people think oil is cheap because the people selling it would rather have money, but in reality the money is useless and the oil is very costly in ways finance ignores for now

Money is not useless it's a mean of exchange used to bypass the coincidence of need.

It's not useless. I ise it right now to bypass the coincidence of need and buy food.

You use the grocery store and trucks and farms and stuff for that; you utilize the money in getting them to let you eat, but if money wasn't invented it wouldn't be needed for that, so that doesn't make it useful

If money wasn't invented none of this would have been possible. You cannot get so many people to work together without money.

On the possibility part, of course it would. Money wasn't needed for any of that stuff. On the me getting people to work together part, you have it backwards. My ancestors with DNA similar to mine were probably pretty effective leaders in the world before money, but I can't get people to work together with money at all, everyone is extremely sick with capitalism thinking they need to fight over money and oil instead of working together.

Money simply allow people to work together. You are the person with that perspective of money. You are the sick person.

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 1 year ago

Nope. I understand the difference between money and wealth. I even made this infographic trying to help others think it through more

I don't even understand what's the link with this and what we were saying. From the beginning I have been describing money as a tool not the thing we want. You're just saying things without really having a conversation. Like you are on your pre made conversation tree. This conversation is pointless.

Sounds like you're projecting after having some scripted idea of what you hoped I would say to "you are the sick person" :/

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 1 year ago

I guess I can see how it came off that way after thinking more. Sorry if it did 🤙
