Part of the problem is that money functions as a contract, enabling society, while we assume it to be a commodity to mine from society. Markets need it to circulate, while people try to save and store it.

The medium has become the message.

Blood is a medium, fat is a store. They are not totally interchangeable.

A medium is a public utility by definition. Like roads, or the air and water flowing through our bodies, it's functionality is its fungibility. It's not our picture on it, we don't hold the copyrights and are not responsible for its value, like a personal check.

We are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, circular, feedback generated reality.
