how many things do you own that are the illusion of wealth, rather than wealth itself? Well I do own the complete set of the watchmen that trotsky just praised - and a special leather bound misprinted edition of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - but to many people they would not value them like I do. I have a computer and cell phone that connects me to the worlds BORG - I value that a lot too. I have my health - that is valuable. I have publix out my door with lots of good food - that means a lot. That is the universal for all of us on maslow's hierarchy eh? Food, water, shelter? so the game is to guess which illusionary symbol of wealth people will chase next. I understand your point - what can i barter to the future hookers and haircutters and farmers? I am certain people will follow maslow's hierarchy - food, water, and shelter comes before gold. Until we integrate the plant DNA with our own and can get instant energy from the sun - I don't see maslow's changing much - do you? Now Chen - he has kinda the right idea - he has bought enough oil to last him and his family a lifetime he claims. Most of us can't horde the food, water, and shelter, energy that we will need for a lifetime - MRE's only hold for 10 years max eh? in recent times gold has been better than cabin patch dolls. What should the zimbabweans have horded then? Is future needs for 80 years of life even hordeable? Their haircuts went up 2100% - gold didn't go up that much for them did it? Isnt the system designed where you dont get rewarded for hording - you get rewarded for producing and giving to the the wants and needs of others. If you dont stay competetive - you die off. The inca's had lots of gold - but what they really needed was medicine to keep those european viruses from killing them. I need genetic science far more than gold - so do you if long life is a want or need.
