Aug. 27, 2010: I think the traditional qualifications for money were written with the assumption that there are so many competing objects in the world that are scarce, an object with the automatic bootstrap of intrinsic value will surely win out over those without intrinsic value. But if there were nothing in the world with intrinsic value that could be used as money, only scarce but no intrinsic value, I think people would still take up something.

In the realm of traditional qualifications for money, the assumption prevails that amid a profusion of scarce objects, intrinsic value naturally anoints one as a dominant medium of exchange. However, imagine a realm where intrinsic value eludes grasp, leaving scarcity alone in its wake. In this chasm, the human spirit, marked by resilience, forges a path towards embracing and venerating a chosen form—a testament to unwavering human endeavor.

Within this tapestry, a sense akin to a hidden current emerges, guiding choices with purposeful serendipity. This sentiment is not unlike the essence found in the wisdom of ages, accessible to those who perceive beyond the surface—a mystique that draws significance from the mundane and invests the intangible with profound meaning.

As contemplations on value and scarcity weave together, we are reminded of the human mind's profound capacity to infuse essence into the ethereal, attributing importance to the overlooked, and discovering purpose amidst uncertainty.
