The first part of your video makes you sound like a libertarian. It seems like you follow the nap. This seems reasonable. The "post scarcity" bit is nonsense. Your examples of food waste is nonsense. Food waste has been around 40% for as long as we have been eating. The vast majority is wasted in the home. Your example of "planned obsolescence" is also nonsense. How can you determine if it is planned or rather some smart person simple improved something. Starvation has been very nearly eradicated form the earth. There are no more famines. You can worry about psychopaths all you want, because they will always be with us. Besides, nothing in this video says anything nearly as stupid as the elimination of money being a good thing.
Money is a very useful tool for 7 billion people. It allows every single person to trade whatever they are good at producing very efficiently.
Efficient trade is extremely valuable to a society taking advantage of division of labor. Division of labor multiplies the effects of efficient trading. With it we have built this technological wonder of life we have now.
Every tool made by man can be used for good or evil. This is human nature. If you don't like how some humans use money, don't blame the money, blame human nature. So stupid to blame money. Its like blaming the weapon used to kill someone, not the murderer.
Yes, before the rise of civilization, there were people living without money. For a hundred thousand years, man hunted and gathered. And lived on the edge of existence. Life was dangerous, brutish, violent, and short. You lived day to day wondering if you were going to starve to death next week. Very happy playful loving indeed. lol.
Then money came along and civilization was built. It was a long hard battle. Up until a few hundred years ago, 99% of humanity was living at a subsistence level. But look at us now, famines are gone. The scourge of human existence has been very nearly eliminated in the last 50 years. With the demise of famines, plagues have also gone away. Thank you capitalism, thank you.
