If language mediates between the world and our visceral bodily sensations, is a discourse teaching us how to organize ourselves collectively, cohere us socially, shapes how we think and feel in our approach to reality, then money mediates similarly.
Money is the mediating transmission of the world we have created for our inhabitation.
Money flows as invisibly as language through the atmosphere, roaming the globe, making our world, enabling us to live, eat, work, support ourselves, our families, each other.
Money transferred to luxury cushions us against the harsh elements.
Money is our mediatrix.
The earth turns on its axis but the world turns on money, capital that sloshes through the global markets with the force of the daily oceanic tides.
