…At least according to this congressman (starts being interesting at 2:20):
What would you do if money and authority abruptly lost all (current) meaning?
It already did for me.
Unless you live in the rain forest within some isolated tribe , you’re either wrong or joking, rezy.
Even if you press your hands against your hears very strong, you still hear some noise.
…it won’t stop noise in the world either.
Of course, given your location, money and authority may not have the same meaning for you and for me, but you can’t tell your life would be the same if money and authority stopped existing tomorrow, as far as I can tell.
This is why all the “survivalists” have been stocking up on MREs and ammo.
We think they’re crazy now…
I don’t think it would be that bad, a return to hunter/gathering baby!
Apparently others feel the same way!
I live in a big city where money and authority are ‘essential’.
But you asked what would I do if these things lost their meaning…
So, for me, they mean nothing. I don’t understand why they exist. But I’m not saying they don’t exist here and that I live without them. I depend on money and I have to obey authority, but they make no sense at all to me. Just it. 
I would very likely die in short order. If I couldn’t go to the pharmacy and get insulin, I’d be shit out of luck. Not to mention that I’m unarmed and more than likely Bugman or harper would shoot me just to prove a point.
But I like to think that I’d go out with a witty or ironic comment as my last words.
After the cold war it seems ridiculous that of all things, a volume of bad mortgages could have the potential to bring modern civilization to its knees.
I think it would be cool if money disappeared, but the world kept running just as it always has.
I guess that’s the goal of socialism…
I know what you mean. But what caused the stock market crash of 1929? Probably something that also started out to be seemingly minor…

That caused the collaspe of the stock market in 1929. Even in uncensored advanced place history class books they dip into that a bit. So don’t go jumping to a nut theory like you always do.
If the system collasped there would be many deaths and chaos. Eventually life would find order again years later and billions of lives later. I’d most likely commite suicide or be shot. But the people that would come up on top are the same people that have always been on top. It would be really cool if some people did their homework.
I’d at least make an attempt at survival.
While there is an obvious parallel of events leading up to the great depression, what about the fall of the Soviet Union? A massive black market/barter economy developed there when money became worthless.
