What is money?
We’re told it’s a tool.
A way to exchange value.
A neutral system.
But look closer.
Money decides who eats.
Who rests.
Who receives care.
Who survives.
Not in theory.
In practice.
If you cannot afford food, you don’t eat.
If you cannot afford shelter, you are exposed.
If you cannot afford care, your body is left to fail.
No one has to act.
The system does it for us.
In my book, How to Control Humans, I remind us what other methods that we’ve tried.
We did human sacrifice.
We did child sacrifice.
But we’ve settled on what we have now.
A system where survival is conditional for all.
We call it “earning a living.”
But look at the words.
You must earn the right to live.
And so we stay in motion.
Working. Competing. Producing.
Always busy.
Always justifying our existence.
Not because we are naturally meant to live this way,
but because stopping feels dangerous.
Because stopping can mean falling behind.
And falling behind can mean losing access—
to food, to shelter, to care.
This creates pressure.
Constant, invisible pressure.
And under that pressure, something happens.
The system begins to resemble a meat-grinder.
Those who can keep up, continue.
Those who cannot, struggle.
Those who fall too far… disappear from the system entirely.
We call this efficiency.
We call it productivity.
Sometimes we even call it natural.
“Survival of the fittest.”
But this isn’t nature.
Nature does not create artificial barriers to survival.
It does not require symbolic tokens for food or shelter.
We do.
It’s a massive freemium live RPG.
Those who can afford the vestments of power are spared.
Champions are lauded for their trek to the apex.
The masses are left to suffer and die.
We made this.
A machine that never needs to raise its voice.
Because it doesn’t have to.
It simply asks one question:
Can you serve?
And if the answer is no—
then you are isolated.
The choice is nothing or service.
Nothing leads to suffering and death.
That is the machine.
The question is not whether it works.
It clearly does.
The question is:
Who does it benefit?
And the deeper question:
Do we still need it?
