What is valuable to one person may not be to another. Does that make it a scam? Most people are adamant that gold is a fundamental unit of value, and yet it's paper value (by volume) is 10x the real thing¹. Does that make gold a scam?

Personally, I'm much more interested in the value inherent in the Human Spirit, but others place almost no value on human life. Insurance companies place a dollar value on human life. I look at words like human resources and see how it collectivises individuals and turns them into cattle, putting a dollar value on something I think is priceless.

People addicted to power are really interested in how many people they can control. Using this metric, managers, ceo's, etc are all buying into the scam that people have value but they're worth less than themselves. Using this metric any job is a scam, & it rides on the back of the notion that a piece of paper with $100 marked on it, formerly backed by gold, is actually worth anything.

Insurance companies do not place a dollar value on human life. They provide a service that lets the client decide the dollar value.
