What Jim Legg doesn't understand is that money is a communications
medium. And it's a far more *honest* communications medium than
talk. If the human population of Gaia functions like a big brain
(and I don't think it does: people are not neurons), *most* of the
computational information flow is in the price signals. If you
destroy that, then you can kiss your Overmind goodbye.
Goddamn constructivist-rationalists are always running around
thinking that individual cells should decide how a metazoan's body
is to be run.
