      They’re not making shit up. Purchasing future production is a very common thing. Shit, tons of Etsy shops operate like that.

      Money is a representation of the value of human labor. It’s how people can trade their work for the products of other people’s work without having to directly trade specific items.

      The ultra wealthy see money as a vehicle for power over the masses, because people need to work to live. They’re not hoarding that much wealth just to be able to buy expensive stuff.

      If all human labor is replaced with robots, then they lose all of that power. If human labor holds no value, then neither does money.
