Simply superb!

Selected quotes:

"once power and privilege were attributed to fiat money, the possession of fiat money became the perception of power and privilege"

"Do as thou wilt can only be overcome when the streets run red with the fresh blood of the Philosopher Kings and their agents."

Brilliant! If only more people understood what so many of us feel but suppress in the belief that we're somehow flawed for not being good at, or not wanting to, play the game.

"A lifetime of repetitive tasks, petty objectives and micro-function drudgery are only made possible in either a poor nation immersed in poverty or a wealthy nation alienated from its means to self-sufficiency through this pursuit of money above all other things. Without the carrot of money dangled before society, the Philosopher Kings get nothing accomplished to their ends.

"Fiat money flows not to those who serve best the needs of man like the productive class, but unto those who serve best the ends of the Philosopher Kings as does the conjuring class."

You're certainly giving the Philosopher Kings a run for their money.
