"I do not believe making money in order to consume goods is mankind's sole purpose on this planet. If you're wondering what I believe our purpose on this planet is, I'll give you a hint... it has to do with Creating and Sharing." Bill Hicks

I disagree. 1. Our purpose is reproduction. 2. Creating and sharing WAS possible in communities with subsistence farming and not more then 150 people (Dunbar's number). That is because people know each other in small communities good enough that social shaming prevents enough from cheating. Beyond Dunbar's number are rules, leadership, money, taxes, (police-)force and all the other stuff needed.

You want rules or taxes? Can't have both.
