No. We have lived through the past 4 years so we could understand exactly why money is evil, how its the Devil's weapon to keep us poor and enslaved. Its none of this abstract stuff.
Money is not evil; it’s a tool. How one uses it determines whether the purpose is evil or good by the results it brings. A hammer is a tool: it can drive a nail to create or break a glass to destroy. Is the hammer evil?! Remember it is the love of money that is evil. It is the intent in man’s heart that can be evil or good.
Correct if referring to constitutional money, or money that is backed by something tangible.
Money is evil when the Satanists use their "money magic" and print paper out of thin air, and suck the hard earned life out of society, while using it to corrupt the very same society.
Money as wielded by the Banksters is pure evil. But yeah, thats not what Ayn Rand is referring to. This post is optics to people dont look behind the curtain to really see why money is evil.
Agreed, fiat money is evil because it’s fraudulent and inherently corrupt as a result.
Hard money can be involved in evil if it’s hoarded for its own sake, but in that case, it’s the heart of the man doing the hoarding and not the medium of exchange itself.
It's what is done with it, the intention behind it's use. Jesus did not support poverty and suffering.
Poverty degrades and destroys.
People should seek to be blessed, so they, in turn, can bless others. Money is one form of being blessed. You are supposed to be God's conduit. Receive so you can more freely give.
None of the abstract stuff? Are Medical systems & medical doctors that helped themselves to all that COVID FUNDING for each diagnosed death from COVID abstract stuff? They all took the funding to give the jabs as well. Many in Congress take huge sums of money to deliver what the payor wants, or grifted upon secret knowledge on the stock market, or out right accepted bribes, got huge book deals for their gross story of their miserable lives as a pay off or sold human children to pedos. Abstract stuff?
And furthermore the examples you are giving, while not abstract, are all people doing evil things for money but that does not make money evil.
Money is evil when it is created in deception for the sole purpose of enslaving us and if you miss that point then you missed them lesson from all the suffering we went through
People do things they would not do, when there is money influencing their decision & behavior. Look at Judas as an example. Would he have turned Jesus in without the inducement?
Nothing you mention here is what Ayn Rand is talking about. She is not talking about bad people doing bad things for money but people who are to stupid (according to her) to make use of the money properly.
She is talking about abstract stuff not the concrete stuff you are talking about
She despised whom she considered “stupid” but had no qualms about greedy people. Her whole thesis was “only smart people should be allowed to control the society” which is exactly what she is saying in the last bit but it’s shocking that so many people fall for this with out even a bit of analysis
I think she is talking about how a person’s character must be larger, more of an influence than money they have or are bribed with. That’s my take away.
That is very true, but frens are probably doing it wearing the shoes and clothes that money bought. Money facilitates. Money is a friend and partner, in righteous hands. I was so happy to be able to get my son a pair of walking shoes instead of the crap old shoes he wore. Things like that seem small, but I was so limited for a long time.
That is a good one. It is still about character. Money can influence some to fold, the fear of a family member being killed or oneself can influence others. Didn’t some say that “everyone has a price.”
Money doesn’t exist. It is an illusion. We pay 40 percent in taxes of which derives from an illusion.
Virtual watering hole. Some of us are attached to a watering hole with a larger amount of water and a better pressure regulator than others do.
Goods and services are real. Need is real. Want is real.
We allow this fake virtual currency to flow invisibly because it keeps our needs and wants. Some become desperate and are happy with their needs only.
The real currency is human beings. The power to control the needs of the people with an illusion. Turning your neighbor from friend to foe. Jealousy is currency.
Gold and silver is physically present and yet those who have their needs fulfilled and are jealous will never see the value of gold and silver.
It is an infinite debacle USA is in along with other like minded countries. We have to get to a solid foundation again where the value of your neighbor is not being jealous of what they have and you do not have. We need to get to helping others become greater than ourselves.
Gadzooks you pedes are nit picky! The FN character in the book is a male….unless you wanna trans him? What I am saying is that if an individual is influenced by money to abandon his or her morals, and didn’t budge until the deep stater came along with the right price to get him or her to sell their souls, then yeah…you can say it is the love of money…and it is a character flaw in the individuals. Doesn’t matter how good they were before that point, they loved money more & thus making money evil poison to the weakness in their own life. They weren’t solid & the money wasn’t good for them. Anything can be evil or poison to the weakness in the individual. That statement he/she makes ….”no man may be smaller than his money.” The money is an evil to the small unawakened man.
Yup. He talking about the character of many people, not the money.
Money is not evil, the LOVE of money is.
He’s not talking about money. He talking about the character, integrity and morality of men.
So am I!
This is why they hate trump. He has gained wealth thru intelligence, not cheating which is all they know

Well said

She despised anyone she deemed stupid and did not like humanity at all, that might have something to do with what she says here.
Bingo
She despised whom she considered “stupid” but had no qualms about greedy people. Her whole thesis was “only smart people should be allowed to control the society” which is exactly what she is saying in the last bit but it’s shocking that so many people fall for this with out even a bit of analysis

Let me just ask you this question. Do you think there is a difference between Money as a tool vs Money as a weapon?
Money won't buy happiness. But it is easier to have a good cry while sitting in a Mercedes than while sitting on a bicycle seat. lol
I don’t know if I can agree, they say exercise is excellent for our mental & emotional health.
That is very true, but frens are probably doing it wearing the shoes and clothes that money bought. Money facilitates. Money is a friend and partner, in righteous hands. I was so happy to be able to get my son a pair of walking shoes instead of the crap old shoes he wore. Things like that seem small, but I was so limited for a long time.
Many people can use money wisely. How has our government used money?
The limits are what make the happiness possible.
The lows are required for the highs.
"FranCISco"... I kept hearing Elf's voice when reading Francisco's scenes🐸
I have a good quote about virtue signaling from Fountain Head.

Ayn is a woman...
The love of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself...

Hey ... just so you know... the character in the book is a man. It's the author that's a woman.
Just thought I'd mention that in case you weren't sure...

Thank you for your efforts to keep up. /sarc
