Its the Money---Stupid: Pigs Can't Fly

The problem with money is..........the Money!  It is the Money, stupid!

It is the Money.    The thing called money.   That is the heart of the problem.  Not what money does, in other worlds, what is done with the thing called money.  For those that do not get the point:  It is about the noun thing called money, not about the verb stuff that money does.  If a thing does not have the inherent capability to do something incorporated in the essential nature of its "thingness" then it cannot do it.  For example:  Pigs can't fly!

In an attempt to make it really, really simple:  A pig is a physical thing.  It does not have the ability to do something like fly as does a bird because it does not have that capability to fly.  It was not designed into the nature of a pig by......guess who?  Nature!  Or, whatever pseudonym you prefer for "Nature"

Money is not a pig, even if piggish things can be done with money.  Money is a conceptual thing, not a physical thing.  A fundamentally conceptual thing that we associate with a physical media.  In the evolution of money it is increasingly associated with a representation of a physical thing.  Its mostly all digital now.  Associated with the last vestige of physical representation of an electrical charge of plus or minus in an electronic digital system.

We the people have created the conceptual thing called money.  We designed into its nature its inherent capabilities as a thing in its evolutionary developmental progress since the concept was born as an original idea in the mind of the first person to have that wonder of creation of something from nothing flash in their mind.  Might have been the first person to invent the wheel.

The capability of money to do something (or not do something) depends on the inherent nature of its design as a conceptual thing.  If we don't like what it does or does not do then we change that by changing what money is, what it does or does not do then is a simple result of its inherent nature.

If money does or does not do what is desired to be done and what it does or does not do  is systemically contrary to its most basic purpose but beneficial to a sub set of special interest the only way to change what it does/doesn't do is simply change the nature of what money is to preclude the negative possibility of what it can do.

The negative result of what money does is obvious by its very result and our evaluation of the common good.  Money is as money does.  However to connect what money does to the nature of what it is and changing that nature in some ways (removing its wings or adding them) is complicated.  Not just complicated.  Impossible.

Impossible.  Impossible.  Something that cannot be done because money is not defined as a thing, a conceptual thing associated with some essential thing with unique inherent attributes of its own.  The concept of money has been defined as  the transaction and the nature of of traded things involved in that transaction giving "value" to the medium of exchange. Money is therefore stripped of any inherent unique attributes other than value derived from an action.  The supreme definition of what money "is" therefore becomes what money "does".

Impossible to come to grips with what anything "is" when all that can be grasped is what money does.  It is like trying to herd cats or make pigs fly.

When units of money become a conceptual digital thing with each unit having a unique identifying serial number in a controlled total universe of uniquely numbered digital dollars all associated with a current uniquely identified owner and having knowledge of all past owners and transaction information related to change of ownership then money becomes a thing with inherent abilities that can be defined and controlled to make money do what we want it to do.  We then control money and can therefore control what money does.  In this system, money becomes a fixed object of conceptual substance.  A fixed record with existence that does not pass from owner to owner in transactions.  Only the identity of the current owner changes on the fixed uniquely serialized digital dollar with a value of 1 dollar.

The owner of all dollars?  All of us, collectively.  All our dollars.

Perpetuate the system of defining and controlling money by what it does and we will never solve the problems of that concept of money.  Those that benefit from that definition of money in terms of what it does or changing the nature of money by tinkering with what it is must defend the system from changing the nature and inherent attributes of what money is.   They must defend and perpetuate the failure to define what money is, to make the nature of money as a conceptual thing so obscure that it cannot be touched or defined in terms of a thing but only by what that thing does.  Always a carrot on the end of a stick that we perpetually chase and try to capture control of by what we do.  They control the true nature and attributes of what money is to the extent that nobody really knows exactly what money is.

We may think we know what money is.  It is no thing by design.  It is only the subsiderary conceptual child result of a parent action called a transaction.  We chase the dollar at the end of the stick.  The dollar that was created only by virtue of the fact that we chase it.

At that rate we will forever run in circles to the amusement and enrichment of those that created the money system built upon and defined by what money is and what money does.

The economy is what money does.

Saying "Its the Economy, Stupid"  is both the most stupid or clever thing to say to control the public perception of what money is by spinning or bending that perception to what money does.  What money does is the economy.  What money really is... that is something else but only  the man behind the curtain knows that.....until the curtain is pulled back.

Money is a deception.  A deception of perception perpetrated by the deceivers for their benefit.

The money problem, what money does,  can be solved when money becomes a thing when and where the following system exists:

Money becomes a uniquely serialized digital dollar with a value of one in a finite controlled universe of all uniquely serialized digital dollars in a system where each uniquely identified current owner of each uniquely identified digital dollar is known in real time.  The uniquely serialized digital dollar exists as a fundamental conceptual unchanging thing where the owner of the fixed unique dollar record changes as a function of an exchange transaction between owners.

All digital dollars know the current uniquely identified owner and the owner's related information as well as all past owners and related transaction information.  All owners know each dollar they own by its unique serial number and information about all dollars in the system.  All owners can validate and know the identity of all other uniquely identified current owners of users of the system if and when they choose to make transactions with those owners to transfer ownership of the unique dollar to a new owner in an exchange transaction.
