Your entire rant was completely pointless you know... largely because it was COMPLETELY irrelevent.

You suggested that

A) Wealth was a zero-sum game

B) True Wealth is related to heatlh.

A Zero sum game one where one person's gain comes at another's expense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%E2%80%93sum_game

In otherwords, if wealth were really a zero sum game... average life expectancy would never increase.

Again, by your own goofy standards, your wrong, unless you want to completely rewrite the definition of Zero sum game as well.

Hell a REAL zerosum game of life based on health work like this movie.

As for diseases being cured... I think Chicken Pox if you count Vaccines.  That was like... 17 years ago which isn't really bad when you consider how many diseases have been cured overall and in general, the diseases to be cured first are likely going to be the easy ones.  I mean what disease do you expect to be cured by now that isn't?  


It doesn't take a scientist to see that money is a Zero-Sum Game. You're conflating other things with the simple possession & subsequent control of monetary pieces. In your mind, it was money that funded the health advances & technologies. In reality, it was ingenuity & insight that built the technologies to make those health advances. And that technology could be built WITHOUT money.

You see this society of the United States of America which promotes the sacredness of money & don't question what has been hammered into you since you were birthed into the world. There will be a time in human existence where the concept of money is looked at in a historical perspective. Right now, money is the middleman to every resource so of course you yourself will see money at the root of every advance. But it is not the money, it is the resources, the materials that are shaped into tools that become technologies to advance societies. Money ALWAYS attaches itself to things of TRUE Value.

I'm not talking about the current era. I'm talking on an eternal level. I'm talking way beyond this current timeframe.
One day there will be once again a society where money doesn't exist. I recognize how human fabrications become accepted as etched-in-stone facts of life.
I laugh when I hear sci-fi shows talk about the space-time continuum. There is no such thing as time! Hahahaha! It's something we created to track & measure patterns of change. We have altered calendars numerous times omitting days & whole weeks, whole months even. A Pope in 1582 simply said just get rid of those 10 days when the calendars were not aligned with the cosmos. "See you tomorrow!" said somebody on October 4th & the next day it was October 15th. One man has to power to just CHANGE time??? Just like that??? Well, it is fake after all. Arbitrary like many thing human beings do.

Money is just like what I said about time. And that's pretty funny considering the saying 'Time Is Money'. Maybe that's why slavedrivers, I mean, employers chastise employees about "stealing time". We seem to think that just because an illusion is intricate & elaborate that it can no longer be an illusion.  No matter how much complexity an illusion has at the end of the day, it's still an illusion.

Money is an illusion & unfortunately it's one I am caught up in. Born into it. I'm forced to play this stupid game to get the truly valuable things I need in life. But I'm ahead of the game by knowing what money really is. And with luck, I will have the ability to get beyond that game.

P.S.: With all the technology available, they should be curing cancers right now. Chicken Pox??? That's the best they can do???  Guess so when all they do nowadays is sell new drugs to take on the TV. The money motive is ruining the medical field. Ask Chris Rock about it. The money ain't in the cure, it's in the medicine.


Curing cancer?  Do you have any idea how cancer even works?

 

Outside which... you keep contradicting yourslf.

1) Money is a middle man for every resource.  Therefore money is tied directly to the value and amount of resources we have.

2) Resources are NOT a zerosum game.  New resources are discovered all the time.   I could go outside my house start a garden, and grow my own food.  Created by my own hands and work WITHOUT needing to take it from someone else. 


Therefore money CLEARLY isn't a zero sum game.
