This is a real question. Everything seems to be about money right now. All of our lives depend on it and, more and more, most of us have less and less of it. And, we are told, when we run out our society will collapse. Thus, I ask, do we really need it?

You can’t eat it. You can’t sleep with it. You can’t nuture it. You can’t do much with it but buy “stuff”. Yet, when we look deeper into what we all need, we must ask, is money necessary to this end? I don’t think so. There has to be another, better, way.

But this is all babble, isn’t it? (You say…) People are dying and suffering because they don’t have money! It is so obvious! Are you that blissfully ignorant? suffering from white privilege in the extreme?

I just ask. What would we do if we didn’t worry about money and we provided our basic needs to each other without it? With all this money that the world has, how extremely negligent has humanity been in providing for basic needs? Can we imagine a different world? Can we make such a place on Earth?
