They are not cross fungible. Money/gold is a proxy in the current social system.

And that amounted to 60 years (and counting) of absolutely nothing in terms of how the physical world works. Even Witten's achievements objectively reduce to an alternate proof of the positivity energy theorem in GR. This is an abject
