Gotcha. What about people who the farmer has never met, but they come to him for food?
So the farmer can arbitrarily decide who gets food?
Well the farmer has to share though, right? So what do I care if he's mad at me?
Someone else will do it then, surely? I can just play video games and check things out permanently from the library and get free food from the farmer?
Who makes the consumables in a library economy? Why on earth would I farm for love of the game?
Well I'm sure he's the only one. This system sounds great.
Yeah, based on OP saying low WAF, I'm guessing maybe he didn't set up the content server? Ours is great, and I can read on my phone or 2-in-1.
Comparative Advanta-whoosy whatsits?
Seems complicated, let's get rid of it.
It definitely looks it (for me the lighting and the eyes) but I don't think it is. The bag in the bottom right might be puppy's first food bag, and I don't think I've seen many AI photos with just a partial thing like that that still obeys the laws of reality. If it's AI, it's heavily human involved to tweak things until it got perfect.
Because you seem hellbent on finding a way around the law.
Please show me the law.
I get that you're being flippant, but they also have more freedom to make way more money, say what they want even if they're assholes, protect themselves when they live out in the country, do what they want with their land, start a business with less regulation, etc. You could also just as easily say Europeans are free to have more than half their income seized to pay for other people's benefits, free to be thrown in jail for saying something mean about someone, etc.
I might agree with your specific points, but I think it's important to emphasize to anyone who blindly reads your post and is like "Yeah!!! America sux!" that there are unquestionably costs and benefits to both systems, and just because you value one more than the other doesn't make the other one wrong, it makes it different. If you think one is "right" and one is "wrong", I can guarantee you haven't fully examined the pros and cons. (As an aside, there are also tons of issues in America and Europe that make them good or bad places to live that are unrelated to this philosophical problem of what constitutes freedom.)
But there will always be people who value more freedom (freedom to) over more protection (freedom from) and vice versa. At one extreme, you have anarchy and the Purge everyday, at the other: living in a prison. Finding the right balance between safety and freedom is an ancient problem, and recognizing that the OP clearly thinks only their definition is the "right" one on a multivariate scale with many different equilibriums is the epitome of "Wake up sheeple" and assuming anyone who has different values than you is a rube.
In any event, attributing any of it to capitalism is just wrong.
I'm asking you because you're in here arguing for this moneyless, library society! I feel like if we can't answer super basic questions about how getting rid of something as universally important as currency would actually work, then maybe we haven't really thought it through.
Very interested to hear more though, particularly as someone who studied things like this and is now an economist who works in inflation.
