What exactly does Alan Watts mean when he says people have their thinking backwards? He is making a really important distinction between what money IS and what money is TREATED AS. Money is a creation of man, because of this, saying that there is ANYTHING AT ALL that we can't do because of a lack of money is kind of silly. As Alan says in the video, money is a unit of measurement, not something that can prevent or help our species in doing LITTERALLY ANYTHING. So what does this mean? It means that the Great Depression along with any other catastrophic event that has ever happened and was allowed to get worse due to a lack of money....IS AN ILLUSION.
