Did I really hear Mr. Watts propose working from home (WFH) as a way to avoid traffic, save time and reduce stress? Using the telephone and electronic communication as a means to save labor and increase vacation time and shorter work weeks. Stuff we take for granted. This man was truly way ahead of the curve!

We need more philosophers like Alan in this current world!

[jerdonclar]

As always way ahead of the times yet what he says is completely obvious

[danreyman]

Money is just a medium for providing goods and services to society... so yes we do need money. If I'm a farmer and I want to trade my corn for the pharmacies medicine, but they already have corn, then I'm in trouble, hence the medium. THE problem as Watts points out is government tax, skimming off the top and artificially printing MORE of the medium, then giving it to those who contribute little, or none at all. Then we all suffer the consequences. Money should be a finite thing, not printable, the government is no better than a counterfeit thief.

As for people playing more fairly about prices it would help if they had more invested in you, as a practical solution.

If we were lucky enough to find that an asteroid would hit earth in 5 years and prevent plant growth for 5 years we might be able to pull our heads out of our ases in time to see that we could easily produce enough food for everyone many times over if we decided to do so. I've talked to family about this many times but just last night one told me the world was overpopulated. It's fine that someone has different opinions but what is the purpose of saying something as though it were fact to someone you know does not believe it is close to fact. It's our animal instinct that desires hierarchy.
It's amazing how blind people are to particular kinds of obvious facts and how many dismiss logical reasoning with the repeating of what I term Satanistic mantras like there will always be the poor or it isn't "right" to get something for nothing. Fine, whatever but let's feed everyone first and then figure out what we everyone to do for it second or tie for first, I'm flexible. It's not that long a story of how it is it costs us so much more to not do what is actually right compared to what it costs us to insist that everyone do particular kinds of things in order to acquire particular things. Air is free because they haven't figured out a way to control it's distribution and meter it. You know much of the decision about how much of the world is going to be fed is done every year when we do the farm bill just before we choose again which healthcare plan we want sold to us for what we will need according to which celebrity convinces us to call one of the many providers provided for us as an integral though quite expensive part of our healthcare system. Now let's all get off our knees for a moment and sing America the Beautiful like we really mean or face the consequences as is only right in a free society. 👍

In todays world, money represents the level of corruption and dishonesty someone is willing to partake in.
