Money is only good incentive for manual work.

Unless you include every work that involves typing in a computer's keyboard as "manual work" you're obviously wrong.


An interesting TED piece on money and motivation:

Awesome.

But it is normal most people will still be in denial here , facts doesn't matter to them only believes philosophy assumptions and misguided concept of "FREEDOM"

Interesting video. Let's summarize some conclusions of the talk:

-Incentive often reduces creativity.
-Autonomy often beats management.

I would say the second conclusion is pretty libertarian. I remember you that the RBE is supposed to be scientifically managed.
While in an ideal anarcho-capitalism (I already claimed that I'm for free market but against capitalism), each individual is autonomous and takes his own decisions.

I'll go back to the first one, which I assume is the one you accept as a self-evident proof that we must destroy the whole concept of money. Because it's cursed tool that cannot be fixed. Is not worth to even try to fix it or think about it because is self-evident that the tool was broken already at its birth.
What you seem to blindly deny is that robots would not have been possible without money !!!
There's no civilization without money because you cannot reach that level of division of labor and specialization with barter. And you're not even proposing barter, you're proposing only gift economy. Gift economy is increasing each year thanks to the internet and webs like couchsurfing, but usually is not enough for complex projects that need high levels of collaboration.
Sorry, back to point.

-Incentive often reduces creativity.
So what. I agree with this. How is this incompatible with my claims?
