Oh, hello.

Do you disagree with the current monetary system?
I've just been thinking watching some of your videos. The monetary system creates an artificial reward system based on the concept that happiness, or the immediately pleasurable substitute, can be found outside of oneself. However, it is still all part of the cultural illusion created by our egos. The reward becomes not in producing, bettering oneself or one's environment, but through a concept of security and luxury brought by money and goods. It's held in place by the idea that money is the only method to fairly trade goods and services.
Do you agree? If so, what do you imagine would be a better system? If you disagree, what are the benefits of our monetary system and can people learn to use it properly instead of the blatant abuse for personal gain we see in much of the corruption around the globe?
