You say ‘that’s not how the world works,’ but you’re just describing the status quo of a broken machine.

Suggesting to ‘just take the phrase off the money’ proves my point: the system is so terrified of this logical contradiction that its only defense is to delete its own history and identity.

But here is the reality: they won’t take it off. They need the ‘God’ label for moral authority, and they need ‘Copyright’ for profit. I’m simply holding them accountable to their own words.

You tell me to ‘put down the bong,’ but maybe you should pick up a history book. Every major shift in ‘how the world works’ started with someone pointing out a systemic lie that everyone else was too comfortable to notice. If the world works on a lie, I’d rather be the ‘high school kid’ with a question than a ‘realistic’ adult with a leash.

‘Weekend’, <50hour workweek, any social lifeline, or ‘rights’ and a thousand of other now normal things were once considered ‘Not realistic’.

Not saying that op’s angle is more/less realistic, or if it will work, just saying that he’s right that anything looks unrealistic in the mental environment we are in.

Ideas like this works like investments/powerlaw - most won’t make a dent, but the few that does, goes all the way and compensates richly for the unsuccessful ones. Just like investors, we can’t see which one will be the shooting star in advance, but all together SOME will be the shooting star, and they DO muddle what is seen as ‘realistic’ in any contemporary culture.

I don’t have enough knowledge of how Merican Christians think, and can’t determine if this glitch will hit the stars for them, but then something else will. All groups have their own world model (Capitalism is just another belief-system) and their own glitches they are able to see and integrate, so maybe op’s angle will hit harder in religious/other groups ? I wouldn’t write it off as quickly.
