Consider for a moment your crap ... what if after a million years of storage your crap became the fundamental element in crude oil -what is it's worth to an industrial society

It still isn't gold because I believe it is.

you'd obviously have lot's of people lining up to buy your crap ... furthermore how does one distinguish reality from perception? That's a tough question, for reality and perception are the same thing in the moment.

Belief was the means to transcend time ... the time necessary to render it gold; black gold, Texas tea etc.

I have some gold to sell. Do you want it? Some people say it smells bad, but I don't know what they are talking about. All I know is that I have gold to sell. Surely you want some of my gold. I will sell it at a 10% discount to market price per ounce.

Perhaps the shit should be claimed to be something other than gold, since TB is confusing the unreality of shit being gold with the unreality of shit being valuable.

Surely you can concede that with time crap can be gold ... you are a 'scientist' after all.

Oy vey. Yes, everything is made of stars, including humans, our gold, and our shit. That's not relevant.

Not me. I don't not want free sneakers. I love free sneakers.
