Or they do but I feel like the gravity of the statement alone never really registers
Was recently reading a book written a long ass time ago by some Brit where he talked about how a lot of the value in currency (coins and paper of the time) came from the fact that they were all tangible
And now wealth/money is completely digital. Of course the fed still prints shit, but with the amount of people who use Apple Pay/venmo to exchange “money” from person to person?
Actually, does anyone know what I’m trying to say rn? Is money just a Trojan horse?
-read Debt by David Graeber
-as long as it still buys me food, gets me a warm dry place to sleep, etc it is very real to me.
Graeber is cool but he is part of a larger conversation about monetary history none of us should be left out of as materialists
