Money is only a middleman

You cannot eat it

It doesn't provide shelter

It is only a medium of exchange

And when you have more than you will ever need

It becomes entirely obsolete

What is really important

Is the control over the resources and labour

And money is only one way to get that

Just like a car might be how you get to work

But if you took it away

You realise you could walk.

Catch the bus.

Ride a bike

Hitchhike

Beg, borrow or steal.

Money is only a middleman

The jury is still out on this point. Sure, there are incentives in play that will propel a diseased system without anyone being at the helm. But at the same time, there does seem to be an awful amount of coincidental evidence pointing to certain people/organizations. Although, deep down I don’t think we know the actual names of the puppeteers, if there are any. Why would those people want to be anything but anonymous? And maybe they don’t all gather to talk policy in Davos, but instead have ways of communicating that wouldn’t be known to the rest of us because what good is money and power if you can’t even keep shit secret?

But I do agree that connecting to the earth, doing what is ours to do, empathy, etc is a winning strategy no matter if we’re fighting some cabal or simply correcting the course of humanity.
