No money, no religion, no faith. 3 things I believe control this world in one way or the other. Is a world without those 3 things even possible? I've just been thinking a lot about - if I had my very own planet, how would I "run" it? what would I build? what kind of rules? write them down on paper? or just know as common knowledge - thou shall not harm anything?

Let's say money is gone there would still be some form of trade and barter. So the greedy guy would have more Horses or Land or Pickles than anyone else...

Learning to find satisfaction from within and without, learning how to enjoy what we are given and deciding on wants vs. Needs. Rid ourselves of Greed and thoughtless desire would go much farther then losing our money, faith and religion...

If we all loved one another unconditionally what do you think the world would be like?

Humans are not capable of this.
Plus, if we all loved one another there would be no war, no murder. The population would be at fifty billion by now, and growing. This is not a good thing.

Religion ad Money should be gone, but i won't say personal "Faith" is anything that harmfull, unless its forms an organization and enact laws.
But eliminating these are the real trouble.

Wow. Well I guess we have no other option.
The votes are in folks we just go on killing children and innocents around the globe because, well, if we didn't there would be too many people around.
So, are you saying war is a good thing?
Thousands of dead children - as a result of collateral damage and the general ravages of war - would beg to differ.

Strict bartering is ineffective (how do you decide how many chickens a goat is worth?)...it's why we invented money...to make barter easier. Like it or not. We need it.
