enslaving itself to serve systems designed to maximize the numbers of intangible monopoly money is some computer database

I love that part so much. I guess there might be a typo.

I love to ask people if they know what money is and who creates it. It mess people up. The best answers I got to the question: "Who creates money?" was: The Cosmos and the other one was Satan.

I even ask 3 friends of mine which hold university degree in economics and clearly they didn't knew who created money yet they thought they did but when I ask them if they had any course on the subject they admitted they never had any or read anything about it.

Further discussion on the subject as always lead to illogical statement by them.

"The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled." John Kenneth Galbraith

I would just then ask them what is the source of your information if you never read on the subject and proceed with the quote below from Maurice Allais 1988 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics.

"In essence, the ex nihilo money creation practiced by the private banks is similar -- I do not hesitate to say this because it is important that people understand what is at stake here -- to the manufacture of currency by counterfeiters, who are justly punished by law. In practice both lead to the same result. The only difference is that those who benefit are not the same."

Yet they would still argue non sense. Which intrigues me. I would be like really? He's a nobel prize... It doesn't mean he's right but I know he is because I've studied the subject for more than a hundreds of hours maybe many hundreds.

I would just ask them: "Who get the newly created money and why?" Most of the time they say government. Then I would ask then why does government have debts to which they'd answer something never really realizing or admitting how far reaching this topic is and how odd it is that nobody seem to know and not even university graduate in economics are learning this and even Nobel Prize in Economics don't know according to them.

We're all chasing money. Some people are dying over it, yet nobody ever stop themselves to know what is it we're chasing and why some people are dying because they don't have numbers on a screen.

T'is quite the rabbit hole...

And, perhaps it comes back to the simplicity of how the mystics of India described it: maya.

T'is all illusion.

And how caught up in it, we get.

And, what opportunities might exist upon the recognition of it all as such - expanding to realize our own power to play within that illusion, rewriting the code to change the projections on the screen of "reality" - starting fresh upon a blank canvas, having wiped away the illusions of previous projections... 🤔

"...But, without a heavy dose of psychedelics, a near-death experience, or some profoundly rare epiphany into the deeper dynamics of this shared holographic reality occuring on this dimension we call "Earth," most might be left to wonder what the fuck is going on here."

Very interesting post @rok-sivante, we are changing as humanity continues to improve on knowledge and understanding. Hopefully we won't crash and burn before true enlightenment arrives. Steemit is a step in the right direction!!!
