let's say you have some neighbors. different culture. different language. different gods. e.g. Cats vs Rats. it's very difficult for them to get along. well...what do they mutually love? the best solution thus far? MONEY

going to start w/ a beautiful notion and then end with offending everyone: first, the beautiful notion: Community is held together by mutual Love for the same thinghttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1395862565679288321 …

everybody loves money. y? because money is a token of power. it allows you to get what you WANT without having to resort to force however, not "everybody" loves money

the hippies who keep saying "you must step into your POWER!" don't love money. they see money as evil even though they agree on personal power and the freedom that comes from not having to constantly project force
Show this thread -
this is because they are shadow projecting. often because the money system once judged them as worthless so they spend the rest of their life with that chip on their shoulderhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1360619311740538886 …

however money is neutral, it doesn't judge as worthless. it judges when one is not contributing to SOCIETY. and as a hooman construct, society is FLAWED. thus its judgement will be flawed relative to God's

the hooman has to make a choice. they must either integrate with society and accept its benefits along with all its judgements OR exit from society digging up potatoes in the dirt. (gold/guns/homestead still part of society!!) OR just scream at God about how unfair the world is

the hippie (or w/e u want to call this archetype) cannot see clearly bc it believes it has found "true" love. it no longer updates its mental model. it no longer sees moral uncertainty.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1393384779349852162 …

the desire for moral certainty in a world where it doesn't exist is the root of all evil "okay guys, EVERYTHING is God, except for this, this, this, that, and this. also fuck this thing in particular." it's just LAZINESS. "if there is no moral certainty the i give up on life!!"

so while money is not freedom, it is a kind of "art" that points to freedom hating money is like hating all the fingers that point to the moon and hollering "THE FINGER THAT POINTS TO THE MOON IS NOT THE MOON!!!!" while not even knowing what the moon looks like.

it's the SAME energy that has driven every holy war. some Truth is taken out of context like "thou shall not worship false idols" (same as moon finger) and then spends their life violently cutting off fingers and smashing idols
