In the world I see you're stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockerfeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighways.

Slavery predates fractional banking.

Debt slavery:

  • International Commercial Code (contract law)
  • Babylonian banking
  • Usury

Ever since you've had one guy stronger than another guy you've had slavery.
