Money

Money and politics go hand in hand. Money is a technology (i.e. tool and method) for economic activity (i.e. trade or exchange of products and services) in a society. Politics is a competition for political power, which is the ability to rule and control a society, including its economic activity. Therefore, political power is more important than money. Having political power allows you to create and allocate money. No wonder people contribute money to politicians knowing that if they will reciprocate once elected.

It seems that most humans want money and power. This is a manifestation of the pain / pleasure mechanism of life. Living organisms can be seen as organic computers programmed for two, and only two, binary functions: to seek; and to avoid. Living organism seek a positive energy state; and avoid a negative energy state. We call the positive pleasure; and the negative pain. We seek pleasure; and we avoid pain.

Money and political power allow us to maximize our ability to seek pleasure and avoid pain. In that sense, money and power are utilities helping us follow the programming of life. No wonder most humans seek money and power.

What is money anyways? Money is a human invention to facilitate trade. Even the most primitive tribes of thousands of years ago, had invented some sort of monetary system to facilitate commerce. Money facilitates trade by serving different functions such as: economic valuation; payment of debts; and storage of value. Economic valuation refers to the numeric quantification of value. Payment of debts refers to the satisfaction of economic obligations. Storage of value refers to the ability of a representative token to hold intrinsic economic value.

What is political power? Political power refers to the ability to govern (i.e. rule and control) the conduct of other people. The political control of people can be exerted by different mechanisms such as authoritarian force, democratic rule of law, mythology or religion, and so on. Whoever holds the power, has the ability to rule and control those in their territorial or subject matter jurisdiction. 

In sum, money helps economic trade while political power governs all social activity, including but not limited to economic activity. Therefore, political power is more important or superior in hierarchy than money because political power includes the ability to control and rule over economic activity, which is both the purpose and source of money.

More to follow on this. Stay tuned.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather.

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
