You watch movies, and besides violence and sex, they're all about how someone steals money, loses money, inherits money, and as soon as the guy gets the money, usually the movie ends - since then a happy life.  Really?

Then you live life, and what you hear around you is money, money, money.

What a pathetic way to spend your life constantly talking about money, trying to make ****ing money, worrying that you don't have enough money.......and life usually passes in this mousetrap.

So, what is your understanding of money and what do you value?

Going back in time, people traded goods.

Not a bad system, because you exchanged one product that you needed for another that you needed - meat for vegetables, skins for weapons, and so on, and so on.

But then someone got smarter and started selling things that had no significant practical value - diamonds, gold, silver.  You can live without all this, but you can't live without water, food, air, clothes and a list of other practical items.

And since precious metals and stones had some limitations, people came up with even more sophisticated ways to store value (or hide its absence), such as paper money, bonds, works of art, real estate and even cryptocurrency.   It can be anything and nothing.     

Let's think about it a bit.  I find an ordinary stone in the garden, but there are no such stones in other gardens, so somehow I manage to increase the perceived value of my unique stones, and I have money!  Previously, the cost of stones was close to zero, but now it is sky-high.

What did I get?

As we see and should already know, money is not a material thing.  Well, we can call paper or a piece of plastic on which money is printed "material", but...You know what I mean.

Money is just a promise that you will receive a certain amount of property, goods and services on the world market.

However, it seems that the amount of money available in the world is in the stratosphere and is growing rapidly, while the amount of property, goods and services is limited or may even decrease.

In other words, it looks like we've been living in a great scam for generations.  This was possible because we had not yet reached the limits of resource extraction or property development.  Perhaps because the scammers knew that they would not be able to fulfill all the promises they managed to collect during the game. they don't need to.  They're happy to just put on this ****ty show and control all of us.

Everywhere I look, the madness is terrifying.

Is there even a drop of humanity left somewhere - people who appreciate a good time and real values in our lives?  I bet there are fewer and fewer of them.  What a dark lost world it is.
