      It's useful to see money for what it is, a tool for forcing others to do things they don't necessarily want to do. Then you can translate need for money -> need for other peoples' services. You can also relieve your need for money if needs are met in other ways.

      imo this is only half correct. money is less coercion and more of a promise. the rich for e.g. don't stockpile money since promises degrade. they rapidly convert it into ownership over activity. the illusion that they own literal $$$ is bc of how their net worth is reported.

          money represents what society sees as valuable. thus the only two options are to either 1/ convert your personal value into sth socially acceptable to buy social goods like cars & computers or 2/ homestead away from society w/ only what ur two hands can build

          socrates for e.g. realized that his way of life was dependent on society providing him w/ his other needs. as a homesteader, he'd be busy all day instead of being able to philosophize. thus he accepted the judgement of society.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1390737237378158592?s=20 …

          it is said that socrates had a similar rationale for choosing to die! athens gave rise to his way of life and athens thus had the right to take it away

          i did. you say that money is a tokenization of force. my counterpoint is that while true, people act as followers in a hierarchy of value not because they are coerced but because they are promised a better future. it is a token of power and power is the opposite of force
