we don't need the cash

Thats right. Keep your cash. Cash is a scam. One recent form of the allegation that the Federal Reserve System aggrandizes the private bankers at the public's expense turns on the fact that the 12 Federal Reserve banks are owned by the private member banks of the Federal Reserve System. By implication or assertion, the charge is made that the private bankers as owners of the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve System -- have controlled and continue to control U.S monetary policy and regulation to enrich themselves. Dozens of publications assert much more. They charge that both the Federal Reserve System and the bankers who own stock in Federal Reserve banks are key elements in a grand conspiracy among a few elite to control the world. They hold that the Federal Reserve System was the plan of an illegal secret conspiracy aimed at controlling the Nation's money and credit policies in order to virtually dictate the course of events -- to start wars, to induce recessions and depressions, and to create money and debt -- all of which would enhance the power of and increase the profits of the manipulators in charge.

we don't need the flesh

For the first time in history there is one globally dominant political-economy, that of capitalism. Under this regime, individuals of various social groups and classes will be forced to submit their bodies for reconfiguration so they can function more efficiently under the obsessively rational imperatives of pancapitalism (production, consumption, and order). One means of reconfiguration is the blending of the organic and electro-mechanical. Potentially, this process could produce a new living entity distinct from its predecessors. This process, now termed posthuman development, is in its experimental stages, which in turn has lead to speculations and theories on what form this new being will take and on its probable functions. The two entities of posthuman existence most commonly postulated are the cyborg and downloaded virtual consciousness. While robots, androids, and artificially intelligent machines are also generally considered part of the posthuman family, they do not emerge directly out of human organics, and hence constitute a different line of development. Cyborgs and virtual consciousness, on the other hand, are dependent upon human individuals who desire or are condemned to interface with the machine. The cyborg is a being which typically has an organic platform integrated with a complex technological superstructure; virtual consciousness is the transference of being into digitized form so that it may exist in immersive informational landscapes. The posthuman condition is still only a potential, since fully integrated, first-order cyborgs (the organic platform and technological superstructure are completely interdependent) are still on the cultural horizon, and virtual consciousness is at best an entertaining speculation.
