I’m still trying to figure this money thing out. It seems to me it facilitates chasing “goods”–understood generally–in a mutable way. Your money can be used to buy a car, a TV, a vacation, psychotherapy, healthcare, or a menagerie of dogs. All are possible.
I wonder–and as usual I am thinking out loud–what would happen if marriage certificates were hard to come by, and expensive. Would marriages be valued more?
One idea Edward de Bono submitted was: what if marriages lasted five years, and were renewable? That is an interesting idea too.
