Nice! It's not already? "flow of time" root of "currency" → "flow" 💦

In theory, it is! Because we pay for time. But not all time is worth the same! When we sell our time and attention for cheap/worthless things we are indeed doing the same as selling our last minutes of life. I’m highly reflective on this as a metaphor right now 👀

"But not all time is worth the same" Ain't that the truth!

It is. And it got me thinking. We don’t know when our last minutes of life are. So when we spend it carelessly we may actually have been exchanging our last seconds with family or friends I was gonna ask if we could buy more, but that’s what rich people do. They buy the others minutes so they can enjoy life. Then I was gonna ask about selling! But we all do it. So the turning point is: how can we trick the system to have more minutes without being rich?

I like this line of thought. An adjacent ("earlier meaning") word that I reckon connects here is the definition of "Capital" being in essence "stored labour." You can "store up" (in monetary stores of value) the "work/time/life" of folks "doing things". And then "spend it down" (in the form of money/capital allocation) like you're spending down "time at the grindstone". But that form of "richness" as nice at it is, is a poor (stepped down) facsimile of the richness of actual "in the moment" experience. (YES/AND, both valid and beautiful 🫠)
