The value of money is in its utility as a means of translating temporal activities into physical assets. It is a method of accredited accounting and useful as such.
…no. not really. You are not going to get cows and pigs and whatnot completely free. You are not going to grow enough food to feed both them and yourself easily.
Capitalism sucks ass but its the system we live in. You can’t just say ‘nope I could make it all happen for free’
Not completely impossible, but… it might as well be. I live in an apartment. For what he claims is easy I need free cows. free seeds. at least a few free acers of land. free tools. and thats just the shit i can think off of the top of my head.
Yes its not technically impossible, but its also not technically impossible for us to start building a base on mars 3 months from now. Is either of these things actually going to reasonably happen tho?
i mean yeah, this is true, but you should go and try explaining the economics of the stock market, crypto, or government debt to someone from the medieval ages.
