> what if we consider the revolutionary (LOL) idea of constructing our existences outside the system as to not rely on money for survival, but rather helping each other in the ways we need help as a form of exchange of resources... or perhaps people who have no money and instead define themselves in other ways...

It's a great idea, but what if it requires (as it is) a level of motivation that cannot be reached without money?

The System is refined, it has withstood many challenges, and as it adapts to each one it becomes stronger. Challenges powered by little more than good intentions are no threat.

"Heinrich von Kleist wrote his essay 'On the Marionette Theatre' in 1810. The calm statement of this work suggests a man firmly in control. A year later Kleist shot himself."
