[Keep it a boqol]

If you had to choose one which would you go for?

[Abu Hesi]

Power

Money = Freedom and Power. Just look at America and Europe today. The wealthy oligarchs run everything and they get richer every second of the day. Money buys you power. Respect is meaningless as long as you aren’t disrespected and treated fairly. You can still gain a lot of ‘respect’ just for being wealthy though. You can get away with almost anything.

Power allows you to shape outcomes aka giving you the means to secure respect and money. Its the ultimate enabler. Setting the rules of the game means everything imo. If I had power over you, I could make you flat broke in an instant. Money without power can be taken away.

I feel like there is a nefarious aspect to that though. How will you get power without money? Through force, coercion or lies? I just don’t like the idea of that sxb.

Thats a whole different argument, I'm not the morality police in that department . All I'm saying is power trumps the other two in my opinion.
