Financial Bondage as Attention Bondage; Debt as Idolization

Financial Bondage as Attention Bondage; Debt as Idolization

All financial systems are applied value, to both ideas and material means, by degree of those who direct financial processes in accords to the desires and whims of the masses.

What is deemed as valuable is reducible in nature to ‘assertions of value’ by those who determine production of value itself, these assertions are given power and influency by the directed and contained attention of the masses that is required for consumption of said value. Through cultural conditioning, status, base consumptiondesires and advertisement the conditioning of value occurs through a repetition of the claim that ‘x is valuable’ therefore ‘x must be consumed’.

Value dynamics are thus reducible to repetitive assertions that value is present in a thing or things.

What is given value is numbered, through the act of finance and monetization, according to the applied value, grounded in repetitive assertions of value, thus classes are formed in accordance to the ability to afford and consume what is given value.

From this hiearchical fragmentation of human attention takes places as one thing is deemed more valuable than another.

By degree all financial classes, and their corresponding political systems, are a direct result of the containment and direction of the attention of the masses. The assertion of value therefore repeats into the human attention span of the masses resulting in a hiearchy of who can gain what is asserted as valuble thereby resulting in a resonant fragmention of peoples into social, cultural, political and familial groups that inherently compete for the aquisition of the valued, so the be percieved as valuable, resulting in a sense of fragmentation between peoples.

This value, and the value of deriving what is valued, is reducible to the act of attention by which value is constructed by degree of what contains and directs the attention.

In these furthe respects attention is what derives value and the fundamental currency of currency is attention itself. Any corresponding indebtness, and financial hardship, reveals itself as a debt of attention in four degrees:

  1. The debt of managing financial resources to pay the debt.

  2. The debt of the value behind the debt as the debt of attention towards the value behind it.

  3. The debt towards time management of the future towards the debt by which attention towards the future is transformed according to the debt.

  4. The attention debt towards the debt itself.

In these regards the value given attention to, and the derivation of the value of a thing from attention, is inherently an act of attention as value from which the application of debt inherently contains the attention in one respect, through perceived value, while dually attention is placed on the judgment process of value application thus resulting in the attention being in debt to the perception of value of a thing rather than the thing itself.

In these respects value inversely becomes an application of idolization as the value thing is elevated and quantitized, through number as financial resources for it, and an inherent assymetry occurs in perception thus further elevating the debt itself to a pivotal point by which reality is further measured and interacted with.

In these respects debt is the harvesting of human attention and through said harvesting power structures are maintained, indirectly, through the fragmentation of attention, directly, through the elevation of a power hieararchy by those who control the debt. The maintainence of a power structure is the maintainanence of attention debt dynamics.

The modern world, by degree, is an attention production mechanism where attention is formed, fitted and reproduced according to strict standards of consumerism efficiency. Where the production invokes attention debt on the individual, in capitalism, and attention debt on the group, in communism, each is an inverse application of attention debt production where the debt is the construct itself that applies limits and boundaries to what and how attention is directed, by whom it is directed, and the form by which how it is directed.

What is the alternative?

:clown_face:

You seem to imply that its inevitable to play the game, if so that projects the problem of lack of free will and self-awareness, meaning that any and all answers you would produce is without merit or point to begin with.

If that is not so, then you can contend with the fact that you are not required to play the game, and that this game is just like every other game life has played since it’s conception.

Control your attention.

People are born into the game before they are even aware of it. Some go through life and learn it late…most never at all.

Free will and determinism are just concepts. We cannot prove or disprove either one outside of further concepts. And I am sure you are well aware how long that debate has and will go on. In many respects it is infinite, and that is part of the philosophical game…and the philosophical game is part of the larger game.

There are no winners or losers to the game…just and endless revolving loop.

But relative to the freewill/determinism dichotomy you assert…

I do not assert either, what I assert is horribly and terrifyling more simple: be aware of your attention. That is all.

Sure. All acts need awareness to act upon something.
You cant consciously interact with something if you do not know that its there.

I wrote what i wrote under the assumption that you ARE aware of the game.
Of course you wont be making any decisions about it when you are not aware of it, but thats a completely different layer of issue.
Being controlled by concepts you fail to even recognize… thats just befitting. Its a logical end conclusion much like natural selection is. If you are retarded, you will die. Consequences exist.

I am not even sure awareness needs something to act upon always as the awareness is often contained by the patterns of perception and what interacts, fundamentally, is the pattern of the observer and the pattern of the observed.

Pure awareness, in itself is nothing. This can be observed by the awareness of awareness where nothing is revealed.

Acting, for the most part, is but the perception itself, a set of repeated and maintained patterns by which experience is measured. Perceptions often time are self-maintaining loops as they are the identity of the observer itself as that is what a person generally references when they claim “I like x”, “I am x”, “he likes x”, “she is x”, etc. …they reference patterns as the identity itself.

Given identity resorts to a property of self preservation, as this is the ontological nature of any identity, subjective or objective, by degree of the basic act of repetition that constitutes identity, a state of pure awareness would effectively nullify any inherent investment in identity itself as it is revealed as a hollow looping of conditions.

The reality is that awareness may not sow much solve problems by degree of action, but rather dissolve problems by degree of a revelation of the nature of what and if something is to be acted upon.
