Are you going to take the vaccine?

...I don't see money as evil. It is only something we use. I call it cabbage. It is energy, a tool of exchange...

Of course, the tool itself is neutral. I guess what I am saying is that this tool was created only for the purpose of stealing and hoarding our energies. It is sold to us as a simple mechanism of trade, but STO does not require equal exchange for services or resources, that is a STS concept that we are so used to that we think it's normal. There is no downside for STO to function within a moneyless society and only advantages compared to using money.

STO people try to make positive use if that tool, but what STO is trying to achieve would only benefit from being achieved in a moneyless society and there would be no downside for STO from evolving to a moneyless society.

So I do not believe STO gains anything from defending the concept of money. Hence why I dedicated my life to raising awareness of what it would look like without money. Because people can barely imagine that it would be possible and even less how things would work without money.

You're probably right. Though I don't justify the money system and how it works, only that, as you say, the tool itself is neutral. That may not be the way to move forward. And eventually, I think it is a very safe assumption that there won't be any.

It's awesome that you have "dedicated [your] life to raising awareness of what it would look like without money." It definitely helps to visualize in a practical way a possible future. It works around and bypasses the existing problems.

I love Star Trek 4 when Kirk is handing out bills to the team not even knowing what the value is. And then they stand around looking conspicuous. It's hilarious.
