"destruction of money" isn't actually a thing since money isn't "real" what it destroys is "savings", e.g. the ability to tell other people what to do in the future (with interest) by delaying present day consumption

so anything that tries to prevent "destruction of money" (e.g. inflation) is trying to prevent a kind of indirect slavery however indirect slavery creates both cheap iphones and also the unsullied army that daenerys & her flying cats used to Free the People (ignore her ending)

there's no way to get people to join mass movements (b/c it requires sacrifice/enslavement of the self to the movement) or create extreme class/wealth disparity without some kind of indirect slavery (or promised future masterhood) mechanism

governments, egos, and other forms of centralized legibility NEED the ability to concentrate and muster up collaborative action this can be for border disputes or sticking the fork of food into the right mouth (yours) both require sacrificial collab of individual subsystems

however a healthy system is composed of both conscious and subconscious subsystems. blinking, jerking hand from fire, breathing, heartbeating, etc... putting these under conscious control is... suicide

aiming for a goal like "everything should be conscious" or "everything should be subconscious" is silly just like a bike that can only turn in one direction is silly.

when the conscious is emphasized over the subconscious, you get a model where brain-in-vat is considered equal or superior to whole body

vice versa, when the subconscious is emphasized over the conscious, you end up with a model where the stomach, heart, and lungs "pay their dues" so that they can buy their freedom and be their strong independent selves
