Money Orthodoxy

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs about money that dominate economics and everyday life—the often-unexamined assumptions that money is neutral, that it represents value, that it's naturally scarce, that debt must be repaid, that inflation is always bad, that sound money is essential, and that the current monetary system is the only possible one. Money orthodoxy includes specific commitments: that money emerged naturally from barter, that gold or other commodities are the "real" money, that central banks should be independent, that monetary policy is technical rather than political, that government spending must be funded by taxes or borrowing. Like all orthodoxies, it provides a framework for economic thinking, but it functions as ideology—making monetary arrangements seem natural and inevitable, obscuring that money is a social creation that could be organized differently, and delegitimizing alternative monetary systems (community currencies, modern monetary theory, digital currencies, mutual credit). Money orthodoxy determines what monetary policies are considered "responsible," what economic arrangements are "sound," and who counts as "economically literate."

Example: "She suggested that governments could create money to fund public goods—and was dismissed as not understanding 'how money works.' Money orthodoxy doesn't allow questioning of monetary fundamentals; they're treated as natural laws rather than human creations."

Money saved

And do you want to know why the cost you are paying to build it is irrelevant?

Hym "Because you've been trying to build it for 20 years! Without the theory... MY THEORY you have been throwing money into the trash bin for years. I actively prevent the continuation of that waste by being better and more intelligent than everyone. AND... Your input is contingent on MY input. My input literally exists in a vacuum. Without the theory you don't have a thing dump money into. There is no counter-veiling theory. The one you are using NOW and the one is Singapore that is 100x faster are both my theory. You are paying for the money saved."

Money laundering scheme

Oh, well maybe I spoke to soon.

Hym "Yeah, they got all sorts of money laundering schemes. Now take the retards money, put it in an account to which I have exclusive access. Tell me we're you are going to view this and/or me. Put the person doing it in a cage and shut it down. And then I don't murder any kids. None of your kids get murdered by me. Just like that, it's over. Then, you don't do this shit to other people. And then THEY don't murder your kids either probably. Thank you kindly."
