I just thought this, i know it's kind useless and well unimportant but what do you think our world now without the idea of money and trading. I mean only working for your own survival or your family's survival. Your good are just your own goods no trading, your hunt is your hunt. Just like what wild animals do, their food is just their food they never give it to someone even of the same specie unless they are in a group, a clan or in a family.

Well, that would be a step, or even more than one step backwards, going back to animals and living like caveman or something. But the idea is good, Star Trek depicted the future as an idealistic society, where there is no need to use money, there is no poverty, no hunger, no wars among humans (there is conflict with other alien species but that's a different thing). I think that's what we, as a race have to strive for, but I don't know if it's ever going to happen. Just think about it, if we wouldn't care about religion, about other beliefs, about the color of our skins, about country borders and political views, and joined forces, together, all humans, we could explore space and diminish all problems of our world. But we're too self-ignorant and too egotistical to do that..
