So, I'm flipping through RD's stuff, and he said something rather uncanny.

Ok, so I went through a bit of a spiritual awakening four and half years ago, and I wrote an essay that was like a primer on Christianity.

In the beginning, I addressed money, "As my mother just recently corrected me, “The love of money is the root of all evil”. I keep thinking it is just “Money is the root of all evil”, but money itself is just a tool. I even find the production and variation in currency to be of great beauty, because people have used just about everything to trade and barter throughout time, from coins to giant rolling rocks to grains of rice. Even the salt of the earth itself was a huge moneymaker in its heyday. But I digress. My point is simply that money has had its heyday as well; there will always be importance to money, but there is certainly room to embrace other forms of exchange."

I circled back around at the end with this bit, "I struggle daily with who I see myself as and who I really am, but at least I have the knowledge that my self-image is but a figment of my imagination, and that reality is a different entity. Therein lies the true nature of “reality” as a whole, but in the most important human aspect. In that way can you see the value of objectivity, without disregarding each person’s subjective experience. The effort to THINK and GROW from your thought is essential to life. It is life. Try it. There will be pain and suffering, but the chance to understand beauty and love that are unattainable otherwise is worth the cost of admission. So use your real currency, and value it."

He speak a few times on it:

"Let this endeavor be a part of this world’s history to establish its informational currency sovereignty.

You must have currency sovereignty.

Your currency is your own."

Also,

"Our currency is INFORMATION-BASED.

This is an inevitability when a species has been mining asteroids for millennia and gold loses its luster."

Interesting, no?
