Why is currency so essential? - Lemmy.World

Simpsons meme aside –

Those with currency can have significantly more options than those without it. I’m of a privileged state where if I wanted to drop everything and visit another country for two weeks, there’s nothing stopping me financially. Not many people have that luxury.

Your comment made me realize that OP wasn’t asking about why we need currency as a society, but why people keep trying to get more money.

I hate when the post title and post content ask two seemingly different questions, lol

Home - The XY Problem

Providing clarification is important…but to me, it seems prudent to just ask what one actually wants to know in the first place.

Honestly XY is hard to put into practice.

It wants the Asker to elevate themselves to the level of thinking as the Answerer and have the forethought to ask “the right question”.

But it lacks the perspective of what it means to be new at something. When you’re new, you have no context of what the hell anything is. So you throw spaghetti at the wall and ask is this how you make pasta.

I think in this case, the OP should’ve just chosen one question and put it in the title, then left the post text blank.

If the question they wanted to know didn’t get answered, they could’ve had conversations with the commenters where they gave more detail about why they asked the question.

A post consisting of two different questions in two different places (and nothing else) just seems counterintuitive to me.

Who dude, just answer the question. If answering or asking doesn’t appeal to you just move on.

I thoroughly enjoy all the answers I’ve received and the discussion around it. Sorry I don’t live up to your “no stupid questions” question standard.
