Power Or Money ?

[BADecker]

I will prefer money. When there will be money so Power will be in your pocket. Or you can buy the power.

The main thing is that shat do you think about power?

Is this politics power or anything else?

If you are thinking about politics power so you can buy the politicians with money or you can win elections with money.

So money can buy the power.
Therefore I will prefer money.

The question is, what things do you want that can't be purchased by money?

For example, let's say that you are old, like 90 or 100. If you want to continue to live, you need something that money can't buy. And, nobody knows how to extend a person's life to, say, 300-years-old.

If you figure out how to live to 1,000, let me know about it. I would like to get my hands on this kind of power, too.

Why is that a good idea? Sounds pretty narcissistic to me.

Death is natural and it exists for a reason.

Well, I assumed folks would understand that I didn't mean as a quadriplegic or similar, for the last 900 years.

I mean, to say it clearly, both in good shape physically and in good shape spiritually... like spiritually saved when I do die.

Death isn't natural in the original sense. Before the Great Flood of Noah's day, people lived hundreds of years. Some may have lived over 1,000, but we simply don't have record of it.

Since then there has been a natural decline in years, because of sin. But more than likely, there would have been no death if there had been no sin.

Elon Musk probably has the right idea in the wrong setting. What I mean is, if nobody died, and there was standing room only on earth (after a while), what would people do? I believe God made the universe as big as it is, so that people would have a place to go if there was no death... you know, like for a billion years... but really, forever.

But you are right practically speaking. For a person to live 1,000 years, even in complete physical health, he probably would be drawn away from God, and not be saved in God's salvation at the Resurrection after he DID die.

You missed the point. And you probably didn't even click the link:

https://www.prb.org/articles/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-on-earth/#:~:text=This%20major%20change%20in%20our,ever%20been%20born%20on%20Earth.

Can this planet host 120 billion people and their material needs?

Unless you mean only the Elites (a few thousand people) should attain immortality, while the plebs will be "immortal" in the Metaverse.

Death is natural (I mean by natural causes). Accept your fate. Nobody is immortal, nor should be.

I missed that there even was a link. I'm looking, now.

The part of my point that you missed is, if we all lived to be 1,000 starting today - and I mean in good health - think of all the inventions we would think up. Thinking is limited by lack of time to put everything together in different ways.

The point is, if we wanted a trillion people on planet Earth, living all those extra years would give scientists a lot more time to figure out how to do it.

And about populating the universe, how old is Musk?, and he is thinking about Mars already. What if he and his technicians had 500 years of thinking under their belts. We'd be out to the ends of the Solar System long ago... especially if you add the method To the Stars by Atom Bomb - https://newatlas.com/orion-project-atom-bomb-spaceship/49454/ - which we could have done back in the late 1960s without 1,000 years under our belts to think about it.

Btw, regarding your link, current evidence is corrected by the eye witness reports of the Bible. Several of the oldest copies of the Bible - before 350 A.D. - show that the Earth is only about 7,500 years old since the so-called 6 days of creation... when mankind was made.

Money! With how the world is corrupt nowadays you can buy as much power as you want with enough money.

Also, power is for those who need envy and respect. I don't need to be a politician or a local leader to be happy in life but I could use some money to not only help my self but also make people around me happy and comfortable.

Death is natural (I mean by natural causes). Accept your fate. Nobody is immortal, nor should be.

I agree but we could use some more time on this Earth. I accept that I'll die but I'd like to at least become old. 90+ without losing my mind in the process would be satisfying and money can help with that. Healthy eating, good doctors, medicine, it's all for people with money.

Power is Power,
Money is also Power.

So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?

Politics is power.
Science is power too.
Weapons are power.
Money is power.
Religion is power.

Think about all these.

Depending on the situation every single one of them can be lethal. See how we listen to the scientists (or so called "scientists") during the pandemic, before covid19 not as many people gave a shit about the doctors unless they the ones that became sick. Now healthy or not, people listen to the doctors especially when they speak about covid19.

Then the war started in Ukraine. People started to listen to the politicians.

Inflation is rising? It is time to listen to the bankers.

Getting old? Religious people come to your aid and show you "the way".

And this goes on and on...

ahah I like the picture! and your thoughts as well!

It's a difficult question. You can earn money from a power but you also have more power using money. I'll choose money because money will help you make friends with power people

Money is just everything.  Money can bring you power , with money power can be earned . I don't think it is possible to have power without having money . Money is powerful than can give birth to power and everything.

Out of power and money - I would choose Money
i dont want power I just want to have my own private beautiful life.  . . power is expensive and it would end soon.
SO I prefer to be powerful by having  money may be 10 million dollar

[Iroh]

Power and money goes hand in hand and are entwined together. With money, you could get a certain level of power but with power, you are certain to have a sizable amount of money.
I would opt to have the power over money. I could literally do and change things(for the better) with power but with money, there are limitations on what you could achieve or get done.
  Not everyone is swayed or moved by the whiff of money and i for one would prefer to wield the power than to have all the money in the world. Having money doesn’t exactly give you power

Money isn’t everything. Admittedly, money could buy you a certain level of power but you forget not everyone is swayed or can be bought by money. You definitely can not earn power with money. Perhaps you should understand what it means to earn something.
Money is definitely powerful that can give rise to greed, pride and selfishness.

I want someone to answer this question honestly:

Would there be porn and prostitution WITHOUT money/capitalism?

Would women do it for free?

And no, I don't mean having sex just for fun with men of their preference.

[Techkoy407]

power or money?

both are very influential in this life,
if someone has both that's great,

but sometimes that power and money is misused
be a bad thing

and sometimes power is used as an opportunity to steal money or corruption, that is also very bad
 
so in my opinion if only power and money is not enough there should be an addition that is

conscience

if we had power, money and conscience,
that would be a wonderful thing.

You should first know that prostitution solely involves the solicitation of sexual services for money.
There are male prostitutes as well.
If women or men do it for free, money doesn’t change hands and therefore can’t be regarded as such.
Do you ask questions like this for the fun of it?

Power is Power,
Money is also Power.

So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?

I want power. Both of them are just similar, but I will go for power because with power you can command and get money, but sometimes even with your money, you may not be able to have the power, especially if the power you are seeking for are with other powerful people who may not be able to release it.
A statement says power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely. Also money does the same thing . But it is better you have both power and money in moderation.

I want money and I want a lot of money - I have a lot of plans which only needs fund to complete not the power.
But at the end money instantly bring the power.
Power is lethal - it brings pride and ego along -so does money- if you are not going to control it will control you

Money is materialized (crystalized) product of past power (labor, efforts, fraud, forceful action times the time).

I am not in favor of prostitution; I am against it. However...

We could all avoid a lot of interference by government in money affairs if we simply did this. Set up a trust or corporation or LLC to own our money. We ourselves would be the controller or trustee or president. We would have wording in the 'entity' which gave us the ability to transfer the control to someone else. Simply transfer the control to somebody else when we want to buy something.

The artificial entity still has the money; there was no exchange of money for anything. Since the 'entity' is considered to be a person by government, there isn't any personal tax to it for exchanging money. And, there isn't any regulation for doing nothing.

Many rich people use this method all the time to avoid taxation legally. This shows that power is greater than money.

I dont know which culture and society supports prostitution 
There are more disadvantages than advantages of this profession - and at the end these women has so much psychological and physical problems that they have to leave all this to go to an isolated life.

If somebody wants to be a prostitute and is allowed, that's called freedom. It's the results that make that person a slave.

So, how do we make a society that allows freedom. and doesn't allow slavery at the same time? There are three steps to this:
1. Figure out what society has to be like to do this;
2. Advertise it with good explanations;
3. Punish those who disobey, and reward those who obey.

Number 1, above, has already been done for us. It's in the 2nd thru the 5th books of the beginning of the Bible... Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. God gave the info to Moses to give to the people, the main stuff on Mount Sinai, and the rest of it during the 40 years that Israel wandered in the desert.

Because the ceremonial laws that Moses gave the people were fulfilled in Jesus, we don't need those laws any longer... except if we are Jews trying to obey what God made for the Jews. But the civil laws are just about the best that there are. And ancient Israel at the time of Joshua shows how these laws are to be obeyed. These laws include the Ten Commandments ahead of all the rest.

Back at the time that the US was set up, the theme of the Constitution was built on the skimpiest basics of the civil laws of Moses. Why the basics? Because at that time most of the people in America worshiped God, and understood the laws of Moses. However...

We of the US aren't any different than the people of Israel after Moses and Joshua died. Israel turned away from the laws, but came back to God when they were punished enough. And it is the same way with the people of the US.

This time in the US, many people don't understand the laws of God any longer. They have listened to the advertising of a bunch of jokers who don't even want to listen to the idea that God exists. God will save His people, but it might take the destruction of the US to clean out the unbelievers.
