Why do You say that "Money is power is not quite correct?" If I have a large amount, I have the power to pay Others to do what I want Them to. I have the power to buy the media, publishing, schools, governments, and thereby teach what I want taught, whether true or false.

Money is power over Others.

In the future I propose, People will congregate, in small communities or large, by family, beliefs, interests, goals, problems to solve. And Some may choose to be hermits, not congregating at all.

We can choose the level of richness We want to live at. And We have no need to trade to survive. Not saying We cannot trade, but that it will not be necessary for needed things. We can travel, explore, and enjoy Our families. And no money needed. Period.

Ayn Rand failed miserably to take into account that money systems will promote psychopaths to power. If We were all Ethical, not psychopaths, money systems would flow well enough - though Most would live in poverty, and We all would be slaves having to account for Our energy added.

But money does promote psychopaths to power - to lie about the climate, plan demics, and all.

The best is to not have positions of power. A solutocracy is vastly better than and system that gives Some power Others do not have. Solving problems Ethically rather than passing legalates ("laws") and enFORCING them.

And "testing" People for psychopathy is invasive.

When We strip Them of any tool to widespread power (any money at all), WEF and all will have no power. They will have the Individual power We all have and no more.

I offer:

Money... Do We Need it?
