"Academics always discount the intelligence of past people."
...except maybe in the discipline of history, some of whom love to overestimate the greatness of past individuals.
It also sounds like you are worshiping some kind of idol of the token of exchange. One main function of law is to allow for promises far more complex than any simple transaction.
- erikpukinskis 7y ago> you are worshiping some kind of idol of the token of exchange Sure. If defining a word by what it is and then applying that definition to past people is “worshiping” an “idol”. I would call it “adhering to” a “definition”. Fact: History, as a written corpus, pins the “invention” of a lot of things on white people, when Arabs, Chinese, or Mezoerican people “invented” those “fundamental economic tools” thousands of years before. Stock and debt being good examples.
