Money

Respect

First, they get money, then they want respect.

Catch

Scientists work to make the World better. Business people are using those scientific achievements to make themselves richer. The catch is the artificial nature of the tokens they collect.

Money & Profit

Money & profit were catastrophic for previous intelligent civilizations. (Indian civilization destroyed by nuclear weapons).

Take the money and run – the modern software industry.

Money

It’s not even real money anymore: it’s just numbers on the screen!

Internet

Like so many other human inventions before it, the Internet carried so much promise at the beginning. Then, people with money got interested…

Purpose

Nothing’s wrong with making some money while doing things; everything is wrong with making it the sole purpose of your activity.

Million bucks

How many destroyed human lives a million bucks can buy? How many it can make whole? How about a billion?

Striking it rich

I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.
– Hedy Lamarr

Humans are sooo irrational: we spend all of our lives trying to accumulate abstract tokens that aren’t even real, but rather represented by an abstract number on our bank account. For that, we are ready and willing to sacrifice everything: the lives of others, the lives of loved ones, our own lives. There’s but one God, and his name is Money. It’s sooo sad.
