The idea you are describing is not a new one. It is a good idea that would work. The only reason it doesn't work is because people want power and control. The only way to have power and control is to use a form of currency that can be manipulated like the dollar (inflation for example). If we went to back to gold standard then it would be harder to manipulate and therefore control the people. Humanity is capable of using appreciation as a form of currency. I'm sure it is somewhere in the future of our evolution as a species but for now it is just an idea. I believe the reason that ideas like that pop up when you're high is because they are so obvious and easy that you become aware of them. If the "people" had power this is how life would be and instead of working we would all be exploring the stars and creating out own civilizations...i'm sure there are enough life sustaining planets for every person in the universe if we'd focus on that instead of killing each other btw. But as long as the elite bankers rule the world then...these will just be mere ideas.Okay so heres how i feel about all this, i dont like the idea of money but thats never gonna change. I believe that we should do the things that we are good at and that we like. I dont believe we should have to pay for anything, i think that if we all just did what we do and contributed it to the society as a whole then there would be peace because there would be no need to want, no need for greed, no need to stress over am i gonna be able to feed my family. We should be able to go to a market and take what we need and only what we need and not have to pay for it because we are in turn providing some sort of service as well. Maybe thats just things i come up with when im stoned but i really think its the way it should be....i know it will never happen but i still like to think its possible. I dont know if that makes sense or not but you seem smart so i think you understand what im getting at.
