    Maybe we should all specialize, and pay each other with our own goods, or better yet, a sort of representation of goods we all agree is valuable, so you can get one persons goods with anothers.

      Kinda seems unfair that somebody’s aunt should have to purchase insulin she needs to survive, like she shouldn’t have to work harder to have the same lifestyle as someone without a disability. Maybe we should just give her the insulin she needs to survive, and compensate the people who make it out of some sort of common pool of resources everyone is required to contribute to, in order to distribute the costs more fairly.

        When I was younger, I tried to design an universal constructor.

        Unfortunatelly, I was using Roblox studio to do this.

        How’s that for insanity?

        I also carved a log with a knife, hacking off pieces in an attempt to make a 3D printer

          It’s not insane! 3D printing is making huge strides. You were just a little ahead of your time.

          If we can run Doom on 16 billion crabs, then you can carve a 3D printer.

      That’s basically what happened before money was invented. Imagine being a shoe maker and wanting to get some food, can you convince the sellers to take new shoes for the food/groceries EVERY DAY?
