Reading a new book on Chomsky and Mujica written by Saul Alvidarez and found this
"Being merely a subject of production and consumption with a bank account kills the soul of anyone."
Is this what we are?
Have a look at the ancient tale of the Condor and Eagle …. We keep struggling with the same thing over and over
The Legend of the Condor and the Eagle is an ancient tale from indigenous cultures in the Americas. It tells of two majestic birds, the Condor and the Eagle, each representing different qualities: the Condor symbolizes spirituality, deep wisdom, and a strong connection to nature, while the Eagle represents the power of the mind, technology, and vision.
According to the legend, these two birds once flew separately, symbolizing different paths and ways of life. However, the story foretells that in a time of great challenge, the Condor and the Eagle would come together and fly as one. This union would bring about a new era of harmony, combining the spiritual depth of the Condor with the mental strength and foresight of the Eagle.
The legend serves as a reminder to balance these qualities—spirituality and wisdom with intellect and technology—and work together to create a harmonious future, respecting both the natural world and human innovation.
You’re free when you escape the law of necessity — when you spend the time of your life on what you desire. If your needs multiply, you spend your life covering those needs.

Bitcoins before digital
Wampum can be viewed as an early form of decentralized currency used by Indigenous peoples in North America, particularly among the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes. Unlike modern money controlled by central banks or governments, wampum's value was determined by the collective trust and agreement within and between these communities.
There was no single governing body that issued or regulated wampum. Its worth was established by the social consensus of those who used it.
Wampum was widely accepted across various tribes and even by European settlers for trade, treaties, and ceremonial purposes.
The value of wampum was rooted in its cultural significance and the labor-intensive process required to create it, making it a trusted medium of exchange within decentralized networks of trade.

Babylon and decentralized medicine
In Babylon, when someone fell ill, they were taken to the marketplace because there were no doctors available. People passing by would stop and offer advice based on their own experiences with similar illnesses. They would suggest remedies that had worked for them or for others they knew. It wasn’t allowed for anyone to pass by without asking about the illness and giving some advice. This communal approach ensured that medical knowledge was shared and accessible to everyone.
