my old take is that money as such is a long-tailed weighted average between physical energy & mental energy (energy needed to modify belief structure & spring action). Attention is just the 'write head' to direct that energy. The interesting thing is that if physical energy becomes cheap as in we went from animals->wood->coal->petroleum->(maybe)solar->(possibly)fusion then its reasonable that money as a representation of change/energy only leans heavier on the human side. I dont see this as inherently bad but actually a sign of progress. the things I detest are basically perversions of attention related to some hack in our attention mechanism, for instance businesses that exploit peoples gambling addiction (or addiction of any kind).
