Also, money is man's only real creation on this planet as just about everything else of value is derived from something else that is tangible. The only reason money exists is because the mass majority of people on this planet accept it as being something of value even though nobody bases the value of money on any standard such as gold.
So money is basically just part of a system to get people to believe that there is this modern holy water of capitalism and materialism that they can drink and instantly they are great people with lots of respect.
Throughout history, money systems have gone up and down and changed a lot over time and at the end of every civilization (Greek culture, Roman Culture, the various Dynastic cultures of China, the Mongolian culture, perhaps Western Culture), at the end of the day money means very little.
On an unrelated note, I am pretty scared of what might happen to the western world when "peak oil" occurs and being thrifty, resourceful, and certainly not shallow when it comes to resources will be what determines what societies survive and what societies don't. I know at least in America we have several of the more recent generations including my own raised primarily on the religions of materialism and capitalism (also known as "The American Way"), and just judging by history, that was a recipe for the collapse of that civilization (look what happened to Rome when Romans stopped working hard and instead had slaves and province peasants doing everything for them including supplying their armies with able bodied men willing to fight for the empire).
Sex is really just a legal drug (if you call natural dopamine a drug), and just like drugs legal and illegal they can be bought and sold because they have value to addicts (which is everyone who has any sort of libido whatsoever), so yah sex is money and money is sex on a purely abstract level.
Good post. I to am concerned about peak oil, and have been since the late 90's when I started to read about resources. And I'm not some socialist who is scared of the earth running out of resources.. However when your political leadership blocks any real alternatives, such as nuclear or tidal power, you set the stage for a monumental collapse.
I know what your saying about money, the paper itself is worthless. Money is just a convienient way to barter. It is troublesome that we are no longer basing the money on anything though. All it is based on is other money, or even in very recent times the own money itself. Like the canadian dollar is based on promises to pay loans in canadian dollars. That won't last through one crisis. Luckily for our political leaders a crisis hasn't come yet, but to me it would seem to be immenent, for many reasons.
Wealth however is very valuable when it comes to marriage. America is probably the one place in the western world where the average person can raise healthy kids. Therefore other factors like physical attraction especially matter as much or more. In other places like Canada, the average wages are so low, and the opportunity is so low, that people simply can't afford to have children. Most people in europe too are having few if any children, and a huge reason for that is the fall in the standard of living. Of course their governments tell them how amazingly, wonderfuly, awesome they are doing each year, but the reality is they are living in poverty compared to days gone by.
In that type of world, where only a financialy successful man could provide the means to even have children, wealth becomes the main factor. Also even in america, being with a wealthy man gets you through the rough times, whereas if there is crisis which I think is coming, many poor people will have trouble nourishing their children fully. At least for a while until new political leadership is brought in. And I'm not talking about going democrat, I'm saying a completely new power structure without the current old boys club and special interest.
And I agree sex is like a drug.. or probably more accurately many drugs mimic the pleasures that sex brings. The pleasures of sex and the emotions of love are biological drivers so that we will seek out those behaviors. Just like pain from a hot stove is a signal to you to take your hand off the element. Effectively prostitution where the woman can't become pregnant is closer to cocaine then we think. They both are ways of tricking our biological system to release the chemicals that produce orgasm, the reward to us for spreading our seed. Without actualy spreading our seed in a useful way.
I think the more apt analogy for women 'pe', is kegeling and whatever exercises they do to tighten themselves up. However the breast one was good, I hate how women are always trying to diet and get skinny, losing their ass and breasts. I mean I can see if the woman is fat, trying to lose
weight, but it seems to be an obsession with even skinny girls. Having said that some guys do like skinny girls, but the average man ultimately does seek out a mate with healthy wide hips and a good deal of fat on them. I've noticed myself that my desires have trended towards more and more womanly curves as I became a man.
