Money is like ATP. 'wealth creation' is creating a process that takes in radicals like oxygen and transforms energy from a useless or dangerous form into a tokenized usable form.
Though it can also be interpreted as giving money an infinite shelf life by embalming it. Value is "preserved" by transforming it into a different form so that it can be extracted with the same potency at a future date. Either keeping up with or even surpassing inflation.

Like real food with real preservatives there's something that feels "off" about this even though technically it may be perfectly safe and has many practical uses.

Seems similar to why deflation is usually considered worse than inflation. If money magically gets more valuable in the future, then there's no incentive to use it. The present is sacrificed for the future yet tomorrow never comes.

So what are some "true" forms of energy that's usable for humans? Literal forms of energy like carbs, fat, protein don't always give you more life energy. Chemicals like caffeine or meth seem... artificial.

What seems to energize people the most seems to be some aspect of "Love". Can love be preserved? Or does its very definition contain an element of "that which cannot be preserved". What's the relationships between Love and Now?
