Avoid the midwit trap. We call them poor.

LMAO

Plebs together strong

Agreed. Great convo and I think our viewpoints aren’t that far from each other

With widespread homologizing power I mean a power structure across cultures assimilating these to something new, unified. Typically empires. I think the only thing we don’t agree on is our interpretation on how societal abstractions arise. You seem to champion the bottom up approach. I’m suggesting the bottom up always leads to top down. Both are needed i guess. If you were right there would have been barter societies that made the rise of money necessary. But there was no such thing. No barter societies to be found. Money was almost always a thing of empires because that’s what empires do: abstracting, standardizing, co-integrating and scaling the cultural patterns they find.

How so?

With „hardware key“ he means his crappy wallet though. Yikes.

The hero we didn’t deserve lol

Please indicate where I stated empires „decided what money was.“

Cheers

Agreed. Money is not „real“ in so far as it is an emergent phenomenon. It is indeed linked to perception. That’s ultimately true for anything though.

Hahahahahhaha … hahahahahhaa

Faschismus ist wieder überall groß in Mode. So wie vor 100 Jahren. Amüsant.

😅

I don’t see how that’s a bad thing
