The good news is that greed motivates by the invisible hand to guide people to harmoniously do what other people want (more often than it guides them to steal or destroy). If people are motivated by ideals that don't involve greed, how can they be swayed if their ideal is flawed? At least the greedy can be kept in the boat with money. <BR/><BR/>Even post-singularity there will be money unless there is only one leader in charge. I'd prefer the first case. And even if we're in the second, the person in charge can do more by using money--except getting rid of money.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555526307893787579noreply@blogger.com
