This is a pretty accurate statement and super succinct. My past problem with this framing is that I don’t think it garners much feeling or association in the average person.

In other words this seems like a super distant, “ok but why do I care” sort of explanation as it applies to the typical normie. Which seems obviously insane to me, lol.

Either way this is a great way to explain money’s role in society, essentially it’s scaling society above everything larger than the Dunbar’s number where simple social credit isn’t sustainable. Ie. Community existed before money, society can only exist after.
