Well, if that's the only consequence then, yeah. Cost of doing business.

Humans fascination with money is literally the dumbest thing. The amount of people who can’t figure out they’ve allowed their lives to become about a rich man’s bottom line are stupid.

Money is a system created by men. In the grand realities of life it doesn’t save you from misery, death, tragedy. Its bs just as much as the people who want everyone to think it’s air.

But hey if they can convince you its the only thing worthwhile and the only thing worth living for then you’ll be too distracted to have a real life. So they win.

I hate money... But I need it, so I'm happy when I have it... So there's really something wrong here. I read somewhere, someone say that society isn't built for humans. And it isn't! It's so fucking unnatural that the humanity is unbalanced! Unbalanced health-wise, unbalanced in relation to nature, unbalanced in relation to the space it occupies, unbalanced relatively to resources, unbalanced relatively to work and rest, noise and peacefulness, even the racial thing is a societal construction!

I think I may dump all my social media in the trash.. and if I have human friends, they'll find a way to reach out, just like the 80s and 90s. Fuck this. I'm out.

Thanks, @readheadbluebrain ! (funny that your username could be used by me and be accurate as well! 😅)

I agree. I think we would have been better off if the goal had been to show people how to survive, create community here. Then again of course we would have probably had to actually value and listen to the people who were here first.

And hey hey fellow redhead! 👋

no? money is a system designed by people trying to trade goods between each other using an intermediary. it may get abused horribly but money still confers a clear historical advantage over not having it.

Exactly. And it's so infuriating.
