Every culture has some core ideals as the gravitational center. Be it Moses and the Ten Commandments, or the founding Fathers and the Constitution. Otherwise it will break apart and dissipate. Tower of Babel.

Our problem is the medium of exchange, the money has become the center of gravity. The medium has become the message.

Yet a medium is not a store. As these tactile, goal oriented creatures in this cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality, we see money as signal to save and store, while markets need it to circulate. So Econ 101 describes it as both medium of exchange and store of value.

Blood is a medium, fat, as well as bone and muscle, are store. Roads are a medium, parking lots are a store. The hallway is a medium, the hall closet is a store. The average five year old understands the difference.

So to store the asset side of the ledger, there has to be a debt to back it. Consequently our entire economy and the society built on its foundations, is dissolving into this economic Ebola virus, as all value is drained out as debt, in order to sustain the illusion of wealth, as figures in the bank.

The rich are living in penthouses of skyscrapers where the foundations have been corrupted.

When it falls, it won't be the bankers in charge, but the warlords.
