“The best crowd for a magician is a drunk audience”

Via Scoop.it - Contemporary fiction
“The best crowd for a magician is a drunk audience” It is my references, coming from everywhere, and this time coming from the show “how I met your mother”

I am here focusing on money in our society, capitalistic only in the sense of money defining the main interactions.

Money is the spirit we are drunk from since nearly three centuries. Since this time, it galloped at such a rate, that the tissue of the society couldn’t drain all these liquidity into its vein. It comes to such extent that money defines our status, our freedom: who has control over money, in any organization, has the final word. It does dictate relationship between one another.

Let’s get to the point: Money has built itself an illusion in our mind. Debt can be defined as the main fuel cells consumed by the engine of money creation. To such extent that it does show up even more imbalances between financial sectors, and other sectors where value added via human resources, even if I find this term oddly inaccurate, is used.

You can speak of exchange rate, shares prices, and even going further than this smoke screen of money: stock split, equity swaps, options in general, short selling, spread. Only to say these are spell of this magic wand we lost control of, not all of us, given the one using it are controlling the flow. Careful with the term, the one managing it, not the ones being masters upon it.

Money can look to control me, I am looking to escape this frame and regain power on it: A tool, a simple tool that is used to simplify our way to make transactions and that would need some more human touch, real human. I am not choosing to forget and escape from this burden, simply because doing this wouldn’t give anything than a short term solution.
