I'll give you real world example.
   I have a house. I have a mortgage with a bank.
   At the time I got the mortgage, I had a high paying job as a
   systems analyst. I built up my credit. I played with the stock
   market and did well while I was there. I saved 53% of my
   post-tax income. All easy. All doable.

   All a game.

   I got the mortgage. I'm in the house. The bank owns it. I pay
   the bank, because they fronted a loan for the builders to build
   the house. Mortgages are fundamentally building loans.

   Now, since the time I got the house and moved here, I was no
   longer in that job. I no longer have that income. I no longer
   have that credit.

   Yet, I'm in the house.

   We manage to pay month to month.

   And you know what?

   It's a fiction. It's ALL a fiction. Not just me. Not just here.
   The whole economic system is based on an elaborate set of
   fictions.

   When REALITY hits? And we have to see things as they *really*
   are - what's left?

   Us. Stuff. Skills. Coordination or lack thereof. Sharing or lack
   thereof.

   HUMANS are the currency. They always have been. Do animals have
   economies? Perhaps. But they're on a different system than ours.
