I don’t know if you’ve read my statuses on the end of money, but it always interests me when I see findings like this. Money essentially has to stop being the motivation if we want to advance at a faster rate.
I dunno, I just find all of these variables very interesting.
Probably not for a few generations considering how heavily influencing it can be. Thing is that once the majority of mechanical jobs are taken by technology, then that leaves jobs that require cognition, I don’t know if people will team up with others who want digits in return for their work, because that wouldn’t allow for optimum group thinking power.

Amazing studies and very well narrated. I believe that past the point of a secure life, making more money become obsolete. People realize that their time is short and that they should spend it wisely, fill a purpose, work towards things that matter. That’s one of the reason, in my opinion, why a lot of people don’t complete their PhDs for example. They realize that, if not led by a purpose to make things better, their end-reward no longer has a high value.

I saw the original TED talk about this a while ago, it’s pretty amazing.
I agree — good stuff! TED is amazing!

Not sure if money will ever stop being a motivation for some people.

Imagine a world where most humans don’t have to work. I wonder what that would be like…
