Virtually every one of us rely on society for our nutritional needs. We are empowered through one another to do what we want with our lives, without needing to obtain the knowledge to eat from the Earth. We work together to specialize in our respective gifts to society, earning our share and eating from the production of society. Aside from those who possess the skills to grow and collect all of their own food, we eat the products of the knowledge of others.
We determine the worth of goods and services using money, our medium of exchange, which is a wonferfully fluid metric of value. Today's money system is almost entirely virtual. Our earned wealth is now stored as a value on a network of computers. What are these points and how do we decide how many new ones are created each year? Who decides how the new points are spent? It doesn't cost our rulers anything to create them, yet they loan them out with interest and tax part of our incomes to pay for wars, etc. Life has become a game of collecting points, but in fact we are still working together for our own survival. We are working together, feeding ourselves in a system of slavery. Humanity must awaken and learn what money is and how we can use it together, not have it used against us.
