 This is an attempt at making things very plain. Things like Money.

To start, we need to recognize that as thinking beings we created language to allow us to share our agreements about the world.

  • Could there be a "little voice in our head" prior to the development of language?
  • Things we can see and touch received names, even if never spoken, the name is the product of the little voice.
  • Language is a tool: It enables agreements between two or more people's little voice.
  • Writing is a tool. It allows agreements to be recorded.
  • Money is a tool. It provides methods for numeralizing agreements.
