Money is the way people are payed for their labour in order to transact for goods and services.

When a government or central bank possesses the hability to expand the money supply, it can dilute the currency’s value. This process, known as inflation, systematically diminishes the purchasing power of an individual’s wages and savings.

However, the consequences extend beyond the erosion of personal wealth. Persistent inflation, even at a seemingly modest rate like 3% per year, creates a powerful incentive for perpetual economic growth. For a company to simply preserve its value against rising costs and a devaluing currency, it must generate returns that outpace the rate of inflation. This fosters an environment where businesses are pressured to expand continuously.

If we accept that money is the primary channel for economic energy and that productive employment is essential for a healthy society, this framework raises a critical question. A system that structurally requires constant growth for mere survival, rather than for meeting genuine demand, draws comparisons to pathological processes. Some would argue it resembles a cancer: a system whose logic of endless expansion can threaten the stability of the larger organism it inhabits.

Money should be a store of value and medium of exchange.

The issue with our current monetary system is it’s controlled by states.

The only way out of this failed experiment is a money that cannot be controlled by anyone.

Completely agree. Greed as displayed by Billionaires is a clear sign of mental illness. Instead most people look up to these lunatics…

Some standing desks have an interface that can be used to setup diverse automations. For I example I made it automatically rise when it detects that it was on seating position for more than 40 minutes.

While I agree, self hosting is not an option for the average person.

I believe big tech must be forced to work for the consumer interests somehow.

One way could be introducing decentralised alternatives, that present a solid competition.

Car makers test exactly that, and for good measure since cars can and do crash!

What are you suggesting, that we buy cars that didn’t pass crash tests?

To me it seems like you arguing something similar for AI.
