money, etc

hella cash yo

society "revolves" about the acquisition and disposition of money which is strange if you think about it because money is just ugly little strips of paper, actually most of the world's money supply (something like 80%) is virtual, it's just data in machines it's not even real. we think we like to pretend as kids when we fuck around with toy soldiers and dolls but it's really the fat cats in wall street who are doing the high-power pretending, moving around imaginary money from person to person. those douchebags take the fun out of everything

say what you want about capitalism, it's true that it brought about countless inventions that make our collective daily lives better and at its essence celebrates the ingenuity of the human species but i think it's ultimately going to bring about our demise because it's the ultimate source of extrinsic motivation. every time a promising young artist chooses to go into business or banking or whatever instead of what they want to do the future gets a little darker. you think i write this shit for fun? this website is my only source of income atm (LOL wow i'm fucked)

in any case the ability of money to influence human behavior is unparalleled and when you take into consideration the fact that money is an artificial abstraction it's p. astounding. also i'm sure you've seen something like this before

so apparently money is analogous to heat. i guess this explains why girls find rich guys to be "hot"

but there is another implication behind this particular semiotic specimen. heat is a basic manifestation of energy, so this analogy equates money with energy, the lifeblood of the very universe itself. is that taking it a step too far? in the words of that weird dude from waking life, "it's bad enough that you sell your waking life for minimum wage, but now they get your dreams for free."

what a depressing state of affairs,

join the revolution today! fight the power! burn all yr cash

i would if i had any
