I know if i were to barter content for design work (for example) i would try to get a design of equal value to the content i was licensing the person..
MONEY IS EVERYTHING
It's just that some people tend to put other priorities ahead of it and not let it consume them, like fathers who turn down job promotions because it wouldnt leave them with enough time for family.

I've lived just fine without seeing a dollar... lasted for a couple years. Yes, things I did or got had a monetary value, but that doesn't mean that it had anything to do with money.
For your argument to work, you have to say that "value is everything", not money.
Bartering was around long before money, it had nothing to do with money but people wanted to get equal value out of their trades.
How could it have been about money if money wasn't invented yet?
