>Our entire fiat monetary system really is incredibly bizarre and borderline fraudulent when you think about it in close enough detail
I mean, almost every social construct is bizarre and borderline fraudulent when you get into it in granular detail. Why does someone paid by taxes working in a government created 200+ years ago get involved in my choice on who I marry or live with? Why does an arbitrary marker on a map indicating someone 'owns' a piece of the earth mean I can't walk across the actual physical ground?
They're social constructs. They're not natural. They're supposed to be bizarre. That's the point.
