This is all very reasonable, thank you. I want to be understood as saying that what I'm describing is an ideal that I see as not only possible, but the most authentic expression of true human nature (not the deplorable condition he has been in since the beginning of recorded history). Mankind is currently nowhere near authentic expression of that nature, and so I am not suggesting get rid of money today.

So much would have to happen first. A virtually ubiquitous recognition of our inherent connectivity must be established. Governments would have to be hundreds of years behind us, most likely. The dark souls that control the world today would have to be stricken from the Earth or utterly reformed. Deep "spirituality" (personal identification with something higher than mere carnal pleasure and survival) would have to be at the forefront of our society. Striving for material wealth as a primary goal would also have to be behind us. People would have to work from a place of true inspiration - and sometimes duty to their community - such that the work itself and what it directly produces is the goal, not tangential material rewards.

So yes, for the foreseeable future, you and I are in agreement. REAL money is a bridge that can carry us into that far-off future where the ideal I describe is more feasible. Fiat garbage has to go immediately, but that's another story.
