1 + 2 = 3. but there's neither 1 nor 2 nor 3 in the physical world we live in. so numbers are fake? I think not. there are 1 apple and 2 pens in the world, and numbers are just abstraction over them. abstractions are useful because we can use it in in multiple situations. with the abstraction we can calculate both 1 apple + 2 apples and 1 pen + 2 pens.
money's the same. it's an information without physical form but an abstraction over multiple physical scarce things. the amount of land is limited. the amount of oil is limited. how do we decide who gets how much of what? money. the abstraction is useful because we can use it in multiple situations. with the abstraction we can decide both the amount of land one could get and the amount of oil one could get.
humanity's biggest invention is not car nor internet nor smartphone, it's money. chimps don't use money. money's what makes us human. money's the manifestation of the principle that one who gets should gib in exchange. money's anti violence.
uh what am I even tried to say? in conclusion money's not fake, it's an abstraction. chasing money is not cringe. it's actually based
