Fiat works like this:
The banker takes a dump,
walks out of the bathroom—
and boom, a trillion new digits exist.
That’s not money.
That’s a load of crap.
Once identity is stripped away, what’s left is work.
Not status. Not rank. Not story. Just contribution completed or not completed.
Identity creates rank.
Rank creates permission.
Permission creates abuse.
Strip identity out, and the pyramid collapses into a flat plane of contribution.
Which is why the current ranking systems only excel at one thing:
WAR.
They exist to decide:
who commands
who obeys
who dies first
Outside of that context, they’re comically inefficient.
