“Let’s just agree to disagree on this.” I mean, we can. But doing so is only to ignore that capitalism promises infinite growth of commodified material wealth in a finite world. So, sure. There may be people who are experts in certain things and that’s why they should be allowed to get paid for providing them to those who need them, but soon we’re gonna run so low on resources that the prices are gonna go so far up that nobody’s gonna be able to afford them except for those with… money. That’s a very real threat to our society. But sure, we’ll just keep working for money- which will continue going down in value- until people start wars over water, food, and land (the latter of which three has always been an issue with humans) because there won’t be enough to go around for the growing population.
