Money has really no value, its just paper but we believe it has value because were told it does.

want a mindfuck within a mindfuck within a dream? jesus was an alien
@jesuswasanalien
Not only do I not think Jesus was an alien, I straight up think he didn't exist at all in this world ever. Watch Zeitgeist, it will explain it way better than I ever could.
well I don't believe Jesus was the son of god, but sadly, there is proof that he did exist. they found like some burial thing about him? that apparently led to his grave? idk. I stumbled upon it. but yeah he did.
No one knows if he was the real deal though. sooo we just let it slideeee
Money is the dirtiest trick ever played on mankind.
How cool would it be if we lived like the old days and just traded things! haha
Not to be that guy, but money actually does hold value. And it's made out of fabric's, not paper.
well yeah but not as much as we think it does.
yeah the cost of producing a 100 dollar bill is probably like 5 cents lol
If money is made from cotton then we can make money from hemp. Hemp material is awesome and very usable.
true, but not only does it hold very little actual value in fabric, i would imagine that it would hold less true value than the pre-dollar fabric because in order to use it as fabric you would have to spend money breaking it all down again.
so really printing money is basically spending money to convert real value into fake value...fail.
Craziest thing was when I read his in depth comment and then your comment said 'what loll and I was thinking the same exact words as were in your response.
nothing really holds value in a universal sense, but that piece of fabric can get you weed. that is value in my book
Technically, the dollar hold's no actual value anymore. It used to be representative of a certain amount of gold in our treasury, but we aren't on the gold standard any more.
What he's trying to say is that if humans were really smart we'd notice we didn't need money we could do with out it we just need to help each other out and keep doin things its not like money is whats fueling machines powerin plants operating tools ext we are what make things happen not some piece of fabric with printed words saying its worth something.
the only reason money has any value at all is because theres so much of it
Well, if your gonna get all analytical, nothing has any real value, People give things different values.
people give things different values, based on money. which has no value except what were told. woah. money has WAY too much control over us, but at the same time, money is powerless... without us. we are the only reason the concepts of money and measured time even exist
by that logic there's no reason to ever debate anything because every word and concept in every dictionary was created by humans, meaning going on highdeas and sharing your ideas (like this post) with everyone is pointless.
shame on you for devaluing highdeas ;)
I wish we could go back to seashells and bartering
Fuck that! I aint about to start walkin around with a gang of sea shells in the pocket
Man I always think about stuff like that it's mindblowing
*Weird
