    Only reason people even need money is because we actively destroy the spaces we would need to live on the land without it.

      No person is wholly self-sufficient. Every person depends on the efforts of other people to live, survive, and thrive. Those efforts have value, and so we exchange value to other people for what we cannot supply for ourselves.

      Money is a fantastic way to do that. Money is what we all agree represents value.
