15. You're probably right that we would agree over a wide range

But the problem goes far further than wages and wealth distribution. Because of money -and money alone- we are setting ourselves up for disaster via Climate Change. Virtually no one arguing against doing anything about CC actually believes CC isn't real or that we aren't the cause. They argue about it because of money, either fossil fuel profits or the raw cost of addressing the issue. Without money, one would have to be an utter lunatic or completely immoral to not address CC. That holds true across a wide variety of issues.

We are destroying ourselves for a game that we made up, bears only a tangential relation to reality, and which benefits relatively few of us overall.
