Jesus also warned, again and again, against following mammon, more money, more of everything, yet some people ignore that as well.
Recently I watched a video which focused on the 15 top most banned songs one of which was Pink Floyds "Money" which was banned in America because it was thought to be critical of "The American Way" an interesting observation.
More recently (yesterday) I wrote a paper regarding the recent
Stargate Project which America (through D. Trump support that the mega rich are initiating with an investment of $500 billion) pointing out the following.
The Stargate Initiative represents an unprecedented opportunity not just to redefine technology but to reimagine the foundational structures of our civilization. With its audacious $500 billion investment and the promise of AGI-enabled solutions to humanity’s greatest challenges, it’s tempting to view this as simply the next evolutionary leap for technology. But in truth, this vision must extend beyond technological advancements into the very fabric of our value systems—beyond money itself. Without this critical evolution, the potential for failure could cast a shadow over even the most extraordinary accomplishments.

Money (mammon) itself does not equate to
A System of Parity but could be used to help achieve such a thing, if the incentive were not simply to make more mammon.
An immaterial nothing creating a material something is as logically sound as square circles and married bachelors.
