Comment The Peculiar thing about the Pecuniary (Score 1) 99
When an organization is focused on providing a corridor to augment human technology it is a service to humanity in the sense that often great and profound things come from these services. As soon as it focuses on making money, and generating revenue, the deeper mission statement is lost, and it becomes just another business concerned about the lowest common denominator to minimize overhead and maximize profit. This is what sucks most of what could be great and interesting about us, and contributes to our deterioration. You have to ignore a great deal of actuality when you buy into smaller realities, like monetary systems.
