> Money and accolades are bullshit ideas that do not objectively exist.

Here's a different way to look at money. In the 1800's the British were consistently a few decades of everyone else, so that century was also called Pax Britannica. What they had and the rest of the world did not have was a vibrant financial market. London was the banking city of the world. All the money in the world was going through the London banks.

Maybe money does not objectively exist, but it helps tremendously to organize complex societies.
