money is just a way to track power, goodwill, and reciprocity living in the wild isn’t free either. stuff comes from people and work money is natural enough. but what’s not natural is when power, goodwill, and reciprocity are disembodied and intermediated to an extreme https://t.co/iwlfhhiqQB
when power, goodwill, and reciprocity become wholly disembodied from living relationships, living in a village, when one man can own a billion more of these tracking things than another, when it becomes calculated to precision, social bonds weaken
i respect money, but money can be taken to an extreme the mandate of money runs away, and we lose all sense of value — we lose our very own confidence that there was another way to live once because it doesn’t seem realistic
the web doesn’t always match, in fact it often doesn’t match the single minded drive to make more money but it’s imperative becomes slightly different: not to maximise and colonise but just to survive, in a way that feels alive https://t.co/M3XUKtb13Z
