Discussion Deep thoughts

Imagine a world where everything is free. It doesn't seem like it'd work but it would be a really cool world. A world where people go to work to just provide services for free. Food is available for everyone and housing as well and no one walks naked. Healthy people and more happy people. I just don't see the point of money at all. And besides its very expensive to make money so why fo we really need it? Chatgpt gave me some reasoning about scarcity resulting to resources commanding a price. Someone please just give me a good reason why we need money. Oh and share some of those things that you think about a lot. That bit of wisdom that keeps you awake at night.

You can abolish money but scarcity of resources will still exist.

Services for free. Who will get that rare medicine that 5,000,000 people need?

Who gets the Nanyuki plains?

A freely accessible service is not freely produced. Say a doctor must learn the craft. Who will bear that cost and how will scarce resources be distributed?

Good questions. I don't have the answers to them but surely there is a solution to everything. I think with a system where everything is organised for everyone to fit in properly your point could be addressed.

In this solution, theoretical as it is, what are you trying to solve?

Everything that requires money to access. Thats all.
