"Well herein lies the problem doesn't it? If I knew, then we probably wouldn't be talking about it right now lol"

That's the very definition of special pleading.

Nothing will replace the soft touch of human Hayek skin. NOTHING. Trust me, I've tried. :P ok I'm done talking about her. Here's a pic before I quit:

You really think a fuckbot will replicate that?

It was taken on page one, broseph.

I won't dispute that.

But you're still wrong.

Money may disappear, but not until we're all jacked into the matrix together

"You really think a fuckbot will replicate that?"
Too sleep deprived to properly compute your response I hope you get I was joking.Goodnigth Yall

Genogza,

Ed, I do see your point and I agree with you. I never pointed to money as something that corrupts and leads to dishonesty. That can be attributed to greed, and human nature.

If you read my carpenter example, you are left with someone who is wealthy in a moneyless society. Now consider there would be lots of other people all with their own individual talents all producing unique items. If there is no money then people might turn to crime in order to get it, since they might not have what that person wants for it. Or maybe they might start selling their bodies or something else that people like Fresco would class as abhorent behaviour.

And as I asked earlier, how would you make a film in a moneyless society? But you know this is still in the hypothetical scenario of having a technology that can create exact replicas, chances are that is so far in the future its not worth thinking about anyway and it STILL can't work.

In a society that is concerned with more than just finding food and making shelters all day long a moneyless society just isn't possible.

My point was about money today, as we know it will inevitably change and the system will evolve.

I agree but I don't see how it can "evolve" to the point where we don't have some form of money.

Can we reach a moneyless society after maybe 2-3 more systems ahead, like we went from Feudalism to Democracy/Capitalism? Probably.

Can we do it right now? Nah.

Once resources, energy, and utility aren't consequence free, there will be a need for money in one way or another. In Zeitgeist world, all resources are abundant and have no consequence. The most I see happening in the far off future is advanced desktop production where a good number of things around the house (including the device itself) won't have to be purchased in the traditional sense, but can be made right at home (you would still need to buy the materials needed to manufacture them though).
