[edit] Money and Love
Irrationality is finally starting to be acknowledged as the conditions under which new value is created, as creativity, and hence the creation of �new value�, is borne out of the irrational chaos of nothingness. In the field of the arts this has been known for centuries, as creation demands the release of what has previously been taken for granted, or at least seeks to transform or transcend reality in order to give it a new shape. Money cant buy you love. But it will be able to. Throughout this verbal exercise I will wind my way along the only paths possible in order to make this happen. The only place where money and love meet is under the infinite conditions of irrationality. This exercise will therefore have to take place under irrational conditions in order to speak of the infinite meeting point under which money will in fact be able to buy love.
Money can�t buy you love
I will begin by rationally explaining why indeed love cannot be bought with money. Why can money not buy you love? Money places a certain value on its equivalents. Money gives a price to things. This price is dictated to some extent by production costs, but today mainly on the demand for the commodity. What are the production costs of Love? And what is the demand for Love? The production costs of Love are unknown, and the demand for it is infinite, therefore it is considered un-measure-able. Love simply cannot have a price. It cannot be measured against other commodities, and hence cannot be bought for money.
Money however is already measuring the immeasurable. Human thoughts, ideas, colors, the appreciation of a beautiful view, anything that has, or gains importance for humans in possession of money, will be turned into something that can be bought by that money, in order for the possessors to gain or power over these values and valuables.
Liking money like I like it is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory. Salvador Dali
These people, the ones in possession of money, have already acknowledged and are attempting to realize the full potential of money, its constant expansion, its symbol as the potential embodiment of all. They are now tapping into and enforcing the dominance of money even at the irrational depths of the human mind and emotions, as can be seen in the expansion of the regime of Intellectual Property Rights. But what then is the next step from there? And what then are the problems these people are meeting in their quest for realizing the infinite expansion of money? The contradiction between the limitations and scarcity necessarily imposed on non-scarce values/ valuables that these people enforce in order to make profit and expand their money supply, and the ambition inherent in money, and its particular expression of power, to become the equivalent of the infinite. When it becomes the equivalent of the infinite, and thus possessing infinite power, it has also transcended the very conditions upon which the possessors of money today rely: Scarcity, the poverty of the many necessary for them to continue their futile search of the infinite power and the infinite money. But these people are stuck in this self-imposed limitation, denying the solution that is becoming more and more evident through the very contradictions of the existence of money.
Money is Love
Money will only be able to buy the infinite when it no longer is bound by its limiting role as equivalent of limited and measure-able objects and subjects. Limitation-noitatimil, and in between: Limitationlyloveevolylnoitatimil. It is actually fairly simple: The drive for infinity and infinite power will result in the destruction of the individuals possession, i.e. the limited subjects possession, of this power. Contradictions meet and make love. Evol ekam dna teem snoitcidartnoc. What will this do to prices? In economic terms: When money can buy love, the heavy demand for love will increase prices to such an infinite high that investment, production and supply will have to increase at a similar rate. Profit expectations will be equally infinite, as production and distribution costs will equal zero.
When money, and the power it is an expression of, reaches the level of infinity it can no longer be contained by limitations and limited subjects. Its only possible existence will be in the shape of love, no longer bound by the limitations of measuring and controlling limited and temporary values and valuables. Money can buy love at the point when it is infinite and cannot be seen as the equivalent of any limited object/ subject. Hence money will be an expression of the love for, or the love that lies within values/ valuables. Money finally reaches its full potential as the equivalent of the very source of existence, under a condition of irrationality, thus becoming Love itself, and Love becoming it. -Infinite limitations and limited infinity and the time and place where Money=Love.
In love all the contradiction of existence merge themselves and are lost. Only in love are unity and duality not at variance. Love must be one and two at the same time. Only love is motion and rest in one. Our heart ever changes its place till it finds love, and then it has its rest... Bondage and liberation are not antagonistic in love. For love is most free and at the same time most bound.
