Money Versus Value

If you were born and bred in the consumer/corporate culture of the US, it takes many months or maybe even years of concentrated effort to understand that money itself has no value. Even worse, it's a parasite that absorbs human energy because it's all issued as nonsensical "debt".

A value decision has a totally different basis than an "economic" decision, which only make sense in the context of a nonsensical/illusory game version of reality. There's really no basis for translating between the two. Price, for example, doesn't "represent" or approximate value. It's a different category. It's synesthesia.
