The human condition
5000-50000 ain't too long IMO. Money has been a nice experiment for sure, but I can't say whether or not that kind of trade has been very helpful. It is quite obvious that this system allows for one to gain much while at the same time causing others to lose just as much...
Yes the idea of beating someone over the head and taking their stuff is a bad idea, better to collaborate? Or simply give it all away??
