I've been really hit with the reality lately that my time is more important than my money. Sure, the money helps the time be better spent sometimes, but it isn't he be-all end-all. I think eventually we are going to see a more socialist approach to things even though people are going to freak out about that. My hope is that it would be some form of socialism without the money aspect tied to it. If you think about the idea of a utopia, it's largely everyone supporting everyone else. I keep going back to Star Trek and the idea that money wasn't a driving factor anymore but the pursuit of knowledge.

Star Trek is one of the utopias that only seems to exist in the movies. It is not that it isn't possible, but it can't work with a system even remotely close to what we have now. What is likely a move toward that, is being able to accurately track the value of activities. Would be interesting to see 1000 years into the future.
Yeah, I don't expect it to happen over night. I think they had to go through WWIII before they even got to the point they were at. It's still interesting though.
