An Observation on Intrinsic Value

I'd like to start by explaining how all the Earth and indeed the entire universe is "organic" in its progression through its natural life cycle. This means we are all part of a symbiotic relationship. It's simple cause-and-effect, and we all should understand our state in those terms. This illustrates just why we should be working in harmony to create abundance by using the best tool we have for gaining true knowledge which has consistent results - the scientific method - rather than superstitious nonsense that religious institutions represent and politicians espouse, which are in actuality simply an engine for the avaricious of the world to exploit. Such institutions are used to manipulate and incite divisiveness between cultures and identities so that the true nature of the scarcity principle of resource utilization and distribution inherent in the monetary system lies hidden. More to the point, all governments and religious institutions that rely on such a system are corrupt because the system is fundamentally flawed in its ability to provide an efficient and equitable means of providing the available and potential resources. Instead of competing for the basic necessities of life with the symbolic representations of value we call money, we should recognize that such forms of distribution of resources are obsolete with today's technology and progress our society to a state of abundance using said technology, the transition to begin now. As the old proverb goes: You can't eat money.
