    That’s just a dream of power.

    I dream of living the nice life without any source of income/power, amongst a society where others do the same.

      I’d say less a “dream of power” and more “enough money to live my life, but not too much”. In that sense it’s different from just wanting endless money.

      I just want to be comfortable and to be able to experience my life. In our society, that takes (some) money, unfortunately.

      Totally agree with you though, in that it would be much better if we had a smarter society where money didn’t have to be involved to get that life. That utopic planet where they’ve moved beyond the antiquated ideas of wealth and power and everyone just chills and travels. I’d live there.

        Yes, not much or endless power, but still enough to pay someone to make stuff (eg bread) for you - I just still called that a dream of ‘some’ power, an ez life (that imo is technically possible now for all the billions of us).

        I’m just saying that I want bread without making it or make (pay) someone else to make it (I don’t like it). Idk, just a dream. Ppl need & want to work, but what they want. Perhaps a species somewhere can achieve something similar.
