Utility is key. We want an outcome and have been conditioned to seek it through traditional means.

Welcome to Hive. Following.

I agree. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the warm welcome! :-)

Capitalism motivates people to do things. At least we need to integrate apathy toward our peers and not just think about ourselves.

Does capitalism motivate us to do things? I'd like to know why you believe that. What I can see is that capitalism motivates us to be selfish, it motivates inventions only if they're profitable, it will never motivate us to do the RIGHT thing. That's what I see and that's what history shows. Weren't we "doing" things before capitalism? Could it be that necessity, curiosity and a wish for a better life are enough to motivate us to do things?

Without an economic layer, a civilization cannot prosper, thrive, and survive. Human consciousness is not ready to think at a different level and live in a world without a form of exchange or money.

Human consciousness is not ready...

That I agree with, somewhat. How is it then that in times of crisis we are perfectly capable to plan the economy? I agree that a world without exchange of goods and services is too far removed from our current reality to implement all at once right now. That doesn't take away the need to keep working to move in that direction, one step at a time. That starts with the realization that what we have now simply isn't worthy of our capabilities as the ruling species on this planet. We can do better, of that I'm 100% sure :-)

When we face a crisis, we need to react quickly to find solutions. In the normal state is the status quo without too much change in the economy. ;)

Private Property, Period.

Why?

It is a compromise between how things should be and how things are. I don't disagree with the ideology of sharing is caring. But many people have, historically speaking, made bad decisions. Therefore, I would prefer that I find a way to limit my exposure to people who may in fact hurt me or even kill me. So, I like free markets. I like competitions. I like walls. I want the freedom to protect myself. Ultimately, I believe in freewill, in giving people choices. And we all make bad decisions sometimes and some more than others. One of the problems with mob-ruling democracy is that the majority of the people can vote in a bad thing. Because many people can be crazy. Some people are smarter than other people. Some people can run faster than other people. Equality of opportunities can be good. But results vary. That is diversity. I want to limit how much decisions made by some people can affect those who are trying to remain independent. I believe in my body my choice. I don't want you to dictate what I have to put into my body to the extent that I am not actively trying too aggressively and everything, knowingly, with an intent to perhaps hurt other people with whatever I may put in my body perhaps. I'm also against pursuing legal action against pre-trial pre-crime which may violate the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments especially among possibly others as well to say the least. I like private property. I like that freedom. I want to do what I want to do. I don't want you to be my boss. I want to be selfish, greedy, etc, even if that is bad. I want the freedom to be evil or whatever you want to call it. I think it is not evil, actually, but for argument sake, even if it was, I want it to the extent I am not too aggressively hurting others, etc, etc, perhaps.
