I watched and scratched my head as always.

I know next to nothing of money or finance.

It still stikes me as odd that we rely on something that actually holds no value whatsoever. If life imitates are so much why can we not say fuck the system and rip it apart and start with no system at all? No monetary system that is. Why do we need money to advance the human race? Why not do it for the good of our species and for our future in and off of this somewhat still green and blue marble? It is still to science-fictiony to believe in such things?

The advancement of humanity should be our goal not personal wealth. Of course the wealthy would have a problem with this but we out number them a few billion to one no?

The people with the money buy the laws that say otherwise. Currency makes the exchange of goods and services easy for everyone but laws say we must use what to bought laws dicate as currency.

Well... I often wonder if maybe the Lord of This World requires it, not only by man=made law... but by some sort of transcendental law which governs Man at his current state of development.... fuck because think about what happens if you subtract money from the picture by tomorrow.....

That would be like a catastrophic event, and in the end it would benefit only the most uncivilized forms of human monstrosity that you could think of.

Basically the same people who benefit now. The Ones with The Guns.

So does the idea of property, so do laws and religion. Pretty much everything can be traced back to force.

And so it follows that the fall of the dollar is in lockstep with the decline of Leviathan.
