apokalypse

It doesn't make sense how the world operates under the Monetary System of Money. Over the years, especially through the works of people like Alex Collier, I’ve questioned this system, but it really hit me hard after hearing Elon Musk talk about something on waste or DOGE. And the question popped up—Why? Why do we have this system? Why do we have debt?
This monetary system, or money—whatever you want to call it—isn't like something that’s created by humans, like wind, rocks, atoms, or particles, which are God's creation. And here’s the thing—this system isn’t from God, whatever God may be—He, She, or It. So, why can’t we change it for the better? Life isn’t getting better, and it’s been over 100 years. In the last 20-30 years, we've made technological advances, yet the majority of countries still don’t even have bullet trains.
BTW, when I mention God because I don’t know how to describe it—whether it's a being, a force, or something else entirely...
If we discuss cooperation or working for the betterment of the whole, it gets shut down as socialist or Marxist. But I really don’t get it—we’re living under this monetary system as if it’s a natural law, like oceans or the creation of life itself. It feels as though we’ve been led to believe it’s something unchangeable, but why?
One of the hardest things to understand is the reality of homelessness. How can we live in a world with so much wealth, so much advancement, yet have so many people without shelter or basic needs? If we have the means to build incredible things, why can’t we build a system that ensures no one has to suffer like that?
If we mention welfare, people often attack, bringing up paying taxes or the idea that we’re at war against each other. Why is it so hard to talk about helping others without being accused of wanting to take from the hardworking? Why are we more willing to fight each other than to work together for the common good? It seems like we’ve been divided in such a way that even the most basic human needs become a battlefield.
