I am not alone among the great thinkers of the world (ahem!) who believe that if civilization endures at all, surviving obstacles such as the Singularity, P*tv*nesque world wars and economic destruction, and alien invasions, it will likely progress to the point that human labor is no longer needed for anything. No labor, no way to earn money, ergo no need for money.
If I had the choice of being reanimated in a civilization wherein I had to do slave labor (such as the one we are in now) to feed my face, and a civilization much more advanced than that where I don't have to lift a hand to do anything unless I want to, I would readily wait for the latter.
I haven't been following all the conversation in this remarkably fast-growing thread very closely. Does the above answer any questions?
Fondly,
FD
