Sorry, don't mean to be dull again...what's your point here?

That mankind trades?

Is this counter to my argument that a monetary based society is outdated, and causes global strife?


Cavemen are examples that are going to suit my argument much better than yours.

For instance, cavepeople did not go out and mass hunt animals and store them in the cave, to trade them off for profit.
In early times, people were much less wasteful than they are today. They killed what they needed to survive, nothing more.

Today, we are wasteful. Why? Profit.

We build and sell things that are specifically made not to last. That way, when they break, people have to buy more/another.

We have the technology to make sustainable, environmentally safe products. We don't make them though, because not enough people can make enough money off of such things.

Everything we do is for profit, and it's rediculous. We are slaves to getting money.



He who has the most toys... what?
