Eating and apple and pooping out the seeds might grow new trees, but none of those trees are likely to make apples like you ate.
Money is a convenient way to trade your work or skills for someone else’s. Like the guy who grafts apple tree scions together to make the apples that taste good grow in their orchard.
Now when the guy who knows how to grow hood apple trees decides he doesn’t want to compete against anybody else’s apples and squashes them, we have problems, and need rules to keep that from happening.
I like how you equated money as a goal to money as a tool and that because the latter is a good idea then the first one must also be a good idea.
I found this list of true-to-seed fruits and vegetables I thought you might find interesting. I found it on The Spruce.
Certain heirloom apples, such as Antonovka
Polyembryonic mango seeds
Lemon
Lime
Orange
Peach
Papaya
Apricot
Nectarine
Heirloom tomatoes
There are tons of other heirloom vegetables, I don't know why they only mentioned tomatoes on their list but yeah.
