Money is a unit of measure, a necessary go-between because barter just doesn’t work on any but the smallest scales. If I need a root canal and I don’t possess any goods or access to any services the dentist wants/needs, what am I supposed to do?
Humans are wired to cooperate mainly if it helps them compete. Basically they cooperate more than any other animal. But cooperation is a means to the end of out competing other groups.
That said, there doesn’t seem to be any hard science either way, so this is just my opinion, and your opinion holds equal value.
I guess it could be said that the sort of wealth disparity that we have shouldn’t exist
what if we didnt have money and cooperated (fucking impossible though because of greed)
what if the return to monke meme wasnt a meme
It’d immediately be re-invented.

We would need a fundamental DNA shift in the population to get rid of money. Humans are wired to compete with each other.
We’re wired to cooperate. Not compete. That compete part is a relatively recent thing. Last couple thousand years. And not everywhere.
