1. money and greed is allowed because we refuse to condition it out of ourselves. money is just a medium of exchange, but what need of it is there when technology will soon be at a point of abundance? from ai to automation - almost everything that we spend our lives toiling to create will be able to be done without wasting years of our lives.
2. human experience is different than human condition. human's have been conditioned to suffer by having lives filled with things they wouldn't do if they didn't need money (see point 1). a human experience would be a life filled with following your curiosities, passions, and interests without having to worry about where your next meal's coming from.
i can tell by your 'hippie' comment that you're one of those who believe there's honor in working all your days for someone else to then give your effort to another just to live in comfortable and familiar fear.

I can see what you’re saying .. and really do somewhat agree. As far as the hippie comment.. I don’t know why, but complaining and even saying “fukin hippes” is funny and enjoyable to me. So no offense really, your comment just sounded like a hippy and gave me an opening to be able to say it.. lol
I’m a little of both really. I believe in hard work to get what you want, but also don’t believe in having to spend you whole life just working for scraps.
I actually dated a hippy for awhile. We went to hippy concerts, hung and partied with other hippies, for like a year or two. They talked a lot of that hippy talk, kinda like what you said, but when it came to actually lifting a finger to achieve it… They were not down at all. They rather just get fuked up and listen to shtty music.
Greed isn’t anything new. Be it in ancient days and all the way until now, you worked to get what you needed. Be it building your own home, growing and catching your own food, ect..
I understand the focus on money and the rat race is not natural to humans though. Following your passions, curiosities, has always took money. Unless you had a rich family.
Unfortunately as a kid we were told pretty much this though. There’s alot of people that are doing what you are describing, because they started working towards those goals young.
If you wanted to see what’s under sea as your interest, they worked hard in school, and filled all the steps needed to be able to do that. If the intestate were video games.. they learned to code hella young and worked hard on learning what it took to reach the end goal of making their own video games.
So what you are describing is possible. I don’t know, maybe I’m not understanding what you envision.
How are you suppose to get your next meal? Someone has to grow,ki1l, cook, serve it. They aren’t gonna do it for everyone for free. So how does this work? I’m one who can have an open mind to things. Back when everyone was just in tribes or part of empires, lived in the first cities.. everyone had to do their part. You hunted for the whole tribe or fished, help prepare the fish, gathered berries or whatever. Everyone had a job. No one just got to wander around doing whatever they want. Not if they wanted a roof, food, a horse for travel, or whatever you wanted. How do you get cloths? The seamstress needs materials, and sewing tools to make the clothes.. how do you expect her to cloth you for free. I’m open to it totally. Sounds great. Unfortunately I just don’t see how it’s possible without working for it.
