"We addict to territory, this is war. Our turf. Our land. Before agriculture, nobody had land, land was something you walked around on with your herd. We all do this. We are addicted to caffeine, outrageous caffeine addictions. Money, sugar, praise...television. Now this is the favorite one to talk about because television is the forerunner of very insidious drugs to come. It's just the crudest and the first." - Terence McKenna

How about _The Descent of Money_ since robots, computers don't use money, rather, electrons? He keeps saying "creditor and debtor." There won't be creditors and debtors when most everything is automated. Yes, automation will be owned by "capitalists" for the near term -- and they'll want to play creditor-debtor games. But eventually that will have to go away (as the 1% becomes the 0.01% and the rioting can't be quelled) and the automation will simply be producing in the background, i.e., stuff for free. What remains of a traditional economics might be the really limited, choice things like seaside real estate; but that will be more merit-based, since money will no longer be around. Lex! You keep scrounging up these Austrian Schoolers! Aaagh!
