What is at the apex of our problems as a country -- but more importantly as a globalized society?

What is at the top of the pyramid that has the most influence over the paradigm in which we live and debate and argue and perceive?

For hypothetical purposes -- if there is a single thing that represents the apex of our problems, is there a point to focusing on anything but this head of the monster, this apex of troubles?

Thanks for responses.

It's what lives at the top of women's legs. A blessing and a curse.

You're onto something.

What is it about our money system that may have influence over everything in our lives that goes beyond it's simple nature as a means for trade?

Money is a means to panty dropping, not an end unto itself.

Why do some women charge good money for it?

Why do some women only do it for men with lots of it?

Is there anything specific about money that might shed light onto how it's at the apex of our troubles?

For most, money is just a means for trade. It's a value for value concept.

But what if money was created as debt, what if its mere creation guerenteed power for a few and debt enslavement for many?

Hipgnosis did a lot (or all) of the Pink Floyd album covers. You might find a liking to that tidbit.

Hi Sleepy.

I think the idea that money = your value as a person causes many of our ills. The rich businessman is hard working and virtuous to make so much money and the poor person is lazy or at least in some way lacking. It breeds jealousy. It brings callousness to those in need.

I guess it's the other values attached to money outside of its purpose as a trade medium.

1. The speed of technological development.
2. Humans are breeding like rabbits that don't have a natural predator anymore.

Um yes, I thought it was pretty evident by me complimenting your name?

While I'd have a good time disagreeing with the notion that rich are always (or even generally) hard working and virtuous and poor are lazy, that all is beside the issue.

Money is not just money. It's not what most of us think it is, a means for trade.

Money is created as debt -- debt is attached to each dollar created, the money used to pay the debt is created in the same fashion, as debt. It's a scheme that creates a spiral of debt that gives an unprecedented amount of power to the money creators, while enslaving through debt nations and people.

Explain why, Sleeping Tiger, you would create an alter, when you just returned to us as Sleepy gnostic?
