The anarchy of desire versus the tyranny of judgement. The heart and the head. Where would we be, without both?

More yin and yang, than God Almighty.

A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

A few millennia of conflating the ideal with the absolute has us all thinking our aspirations should be universal, rather than unique.

Keep in mind, democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. Monotheism gave us 1500 years of feudalism and monarchy. When the West went back to more populist forms of government, it required the separation of church and state, culture and civics.

The real problem today is that we treat money, the social contract enabling mass societies to function, as a commodity to mine from society, because we are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, reciprocal, feedback generated reality. So we assume money to be a store of value, rather than just a medium of exchange. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. What happens when they get mixed up?

We own money like we own the section of road we are using, or the fluids passing through our bodies.

Government, as the executive and regulatory function, is analogous to the central nervous system of society, while money and banking, as the value circulation and distributuion system, are analogous to blood and the arteries.

Where we are in the evolution of society is that banking is currently having its own, "Let them eat cake." moment.

It's a two way street, between the individual and the community.
