I've been having this musing going around my head lately:
Money is an abstract expression of energy (I'd even go as far as to say that it's a metonymy of energy, using Lacan's lingo: "the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example 'suit' for 'business executive', or 'the turf' for 'horse racing'."). What they don't want you to know (and who's that? Them! *You know who, that's who!* lolz ) about energy is that it's FREE. Like, literally, it's FREE. Not in a "I don't have to pay for it sense" (but in that sense as well), but in a "it just flows around and everywhere and it's just *there* for the taking and using". It's especially fresh at the source. Moreover, it's actually infinite or nigh-infinite (any sort of energy has a tendency to expand infinitely unless met by a counter force of energy... I think? lulz), materially it just appears to be finite - but it's a so-called "illusion" - energy is finite only in an enclosed system that does not allow for the free flow of energy. Dissolve the system... see what happens?
