And by implementing such a system, you take from everyone. By tracking it, you cheapen it. You turn creativity towards making worthless kitche, you turn true moments of connection with Grandma into a chore to justify your own existence.

The solar system and beyond are finite, but not on a human scale. Even if we figured out cheap at-home immortality tomorrow, we'd never scratch the limits

Humans don't breed infinitely. Already we're coming up on that limit - the drive isn't there anymore. We're falling below replacement levels, partially because we've poisoned ourselves (and planet), but also just through lack of desire. It's hardwired into mammals, if not all Earth life... We limit ourselves at a certain point

If you can't see a future where you can just live without an accounting sheet justifying your existence, look to the past. They used money - not like us though
