Oh, money is unnatural, bro"? No, it’s not. You could wipe out all the cash in the world and reset civilization, and within 300 years, people would still develop some form of agreed-upon barter system—that’s what money is. It’s just “I do X, you do Y.” Bartering is subjective, though, because quantifying value is tricky. That’s why coinage was created: it’s a shared perception of value that establishes agreed-upon purchasing power. Calling money unnatural is absurd—it’s like saying bartering itself is unnatural. Sorry, but humans aren’t communists.
Even worse is the cope that “having lots of money makes you a slave, bro.” That’s peak blue-pilled nonsense. Accumulating wealth isn’t about luck; it’s social Darwinism. Those with the highest intelligence, adaptability, and drive rise to the top. Saying wealth doesn’t matter is like saying having more resources in nature wouldn’t matter—pure delusion.
The most egregious claim, though, is that money can’t be passed down. I laughed out loud. So, height, facial features, and even penis size are heritable, but wealth isn’t? Fluid intelligence—the ability to connect dots, learn quickly, and exploit market demands—is absolutely biological and often passed down. To say wealth isn’t heritable is to ignore that intelligence and resourcefulness are. It’s a black pill people avoid discussing.
In summary, Goatis is mostly right, but on this, he’s dead wrong.
