Personal preference, maybe?

I know sometimes it can feel like a choice you don't have, but it can often feel like everyone you try to connect with seems to think you do.

Money, to someone who orders, organizes, and directs individuals, represents efficacy and skill already established and therefore, rewarded. So when money directs in bodies of organizations, it is done so with intent. Intelligence is always the same thing, the symbols change, sometimes you get it wrong, sometimes right, sometimes can't predict the outcome because one individual self is in a tenuous balance of connection-disconnection that.. seems to oscillate in cycles around a self that doesn't truly exist.

Money can also be a distortion, that's the basis of my behavior. At the bottom, people are paid for knowledge, but at the top of companies, it's a lot of marketing games, where the price is not linked to the quality. Laptops are shiny for a reason, a bit of appealing surface can work better than a proper product (to an extent).

I do agree with you, but the argument has dark spots.

Yup, I agree with you as well.
