Central Authority & The Boss Principle
Who creates the money?
10 Dutch Guilders - 1875
One of Money’s Best Friends is the idea that there is some power above you: whether it is your own boss, the company CEO, the president, the Pope or God Himself: the trick of money is based on the fact that The Powers That Be have Issued this Money and that It Is Real (Royal). Normal citizens do not have that power, but the King / Queen has been given that right by God. That’s what the coins say, don’t they:
- In God We Trust (U.S.)
- ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D, or Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor. This is a shortened form of the Queen’s style or title in latin, which translates as Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith.
- God Zij Met Ons = God Be With Us. On Dutch coins such as the one depicted here.
It’s great to know that Kings and Queens rule by the grace of God and by that authority take the right to publish money. But why is it today being published by public organisations such as the FED and the European Central Bank? Just like the Kings and Queens, they are self-invented rulers who do two things: (1) publish money and (2) take away anyone else’s right to do the same.
The Boss takes the Decisions
Has it ever occurred to you that you had a wonderful idea and that someone said: that’s a great idea, but how are we going to get that passed The Boss / The Board / politics? As a normal citizen you can’t take big decisions, you can only go on the playing field that’s been drawn by the boss. Upon exceeding any boundaries, the boss will decide again. And so be it, in most cases. And that’s good, because he/she is the boss and you’re not. See what will happen if you do not obey or blow a whistle:
- You are financially dependent so, if you don’t hold back, you might lose the job. And the money. And your mortgage, your house, your wife and your car.
- You just have to obey, because I’m the boss
- Be at the right place during office hours. It’s the combination of the clock and the gate that keeps you here.
- Because of the above, it’s easy to lessen any sexual / physical thirst. If you’re really powerful, it’s hard not to.
- Be happy that you at least have a job. Do not complain that it’s too dark/light or that the chairs don’t fit. Or that you need to work too hard. Otherwise, someone will be happy to take your job.
- Of course, you do as I say and that is the right way. Maybe you think you are creative but hey, you can be creative in your own time!
Note: all of the above is intended sarcastic / funny. But serious still.
Come To Daddy and tell me what went wrong
Over the last decades we have seen zillions of people with new ideas. What do they do once the ideas are established? Go to the boss and ask him to do it. Ask the Government. Ask your Wife. Ask God.
What now if okay is denied? Are you going to make a new plan? Are you going again, next year, with the new plan? What if the plan is okayed? You will soon find improvements to the plan, which might occur as bad ideas to others. Easy now. Let the boss decide again.
Oh, one small problem. Think of all the people who need to decide over you for a while. Do you feel it? It happened to me too: you feel as if you lose all your powers. Sure: you’ve just given them away! The truth in being in charge is that people do still come to you, kneel at your feet and kiss your butt.
Okay, but What Else?
De-central Authority is for action instead of power.
We can’t just get rid of one Friend of Money and let the other friends in. We have to replace the whole bunch of concepts with new friends: the upward spiral. De-central authority is one of Colourcash’ best friends. It enables:
- The users to publish their own (3D) money.
- Gives you the responsibility and the power to do something
- So you might actually get going, instead of to wait for the boss’ decision and then have to go that way
- Not by coincidence, we live in the information era, where we can have at least the same knowledge as the best doctors, professors and indeed, politicians.
