Thoughts

The world that we know, the one that we immerse and delude ourselves into every day, falls away to nothingness when compared to the beauty and complexity of reality; a reality that beckons our exploration and understanding. To become mired in the pursuit of money, material objects and medically-induced cathartic states is completely trivial to even the most base concepts of our planet, ones that a layperson could easily grasp but is, I feel, unable to appreciate because of the neurological sickness placed on us by our crass, ruled and completely backward society.

It is my belief that the concept of money and our trading our labour for it is absurd. We are not trading our time. If we were, we as living, thinking beings would be able to pursue matters and concepts of personal interest, while our time went about the repetitive and mostly unrewarding pursuits of acquiring funds. We have been collectively coerced into working for fake dollars, to attain fake goals, to keep the machine turning. No matter how much one decides not to believe in this system, they are indirectly forced to participate and hence promote it. The benefactors of continuing this way of life are not even close to the majority of our human population. This can be proven by the fact that a stock broker, one who literally contributes nothing to society (if you can argue this point, I would love to hear it) is able to make hundreds of times more money than someone who is directly benefitting people, which is what we were told the end goal is.

It isn’t. Obviously if such a system were what we think it were, in that it benefits and maintains a society through incentive-driven labour, there would not be the massive majority of human beings on this planet that are literally dying because of a simple lack of food, something that could be solved easily if the current system of incentive were done away with. There is simply no business interest in feeding the hungry, less financial benefit to curing cancer rather than treating it longitudinally, or ending a war that has fallen into the background of our minds due to it’s abstract goals and persistence.

A human utopia simply does not involve selfishness. The monetary system directly promotes selfishness.
