RE: [Heal the Bern] Can Currencies have Intrinsic Value?
Use. In the event that you can utilize it. Some have genuine worth and some like cash have fake quality. For whatever length of time that all concur it merits something it is, and that makes it helpful. Convenience changes esteem contingent upon circumstance. Gold which is regularly a standard of quality irregularity and value is not worth much on the off chance that you are conveying it over a desert or swimming with it over the channel. I generally get a kick out of the chance to recall when frankincense was worth more than gold. Very nice topic@modprobe, Cheers!
nice
Indeed, though I am not aware of any cases of frankincense being used as a currency. Frankincense is definitely intrinsically valuable to humans, though. I believe frankincense caravans in the middle east used to cross deserts, going weeks at a time without food, and survived simply by chewing frankincense resin. The medicinal properties of frankincense are also innumerable, and indeed it has been successfully used to combat cancer and many other serious maladies. The country of Oman, which is well known for its frankincense production (people there buy the resin in the markets and chew it like gum) doesn't even have a cancer ward, and last I heard, had only two known incidents of cancer, both of which in people coming from the US.

I started to educate myself about frankincense and many other cancer healing elements many years ago after surviving a lung fungi disease tuberculosis. Now on the market their are many oil forms of frankincense to heal and combat cancer.

TTAC is a great series. It's a bloody shame they reserve copyright on it; that kind of information needs to be distributed as far and wide as possible. I have a copy of it if anyone would like to, ahh, borrow it. :)
"...legislative taboo spells " ... nice, Hah!
:D Indeed. The government's tendency to pick certain words in the vernacular and claim by fiat the right to rob, kidnap or murder any who use them without first paying protection money (words like "cure" in medicine, "issue" in finances, "organic" in food, the list goes on and on) reminds me of Voldemort's taboo on his name in the last Harry Potter book. Anyone who uttered the name Voldemort would lose all of their magical protections and their location would immediately become known to the death eaters (who had, by that time, completely taken over the government). Curious parallel, don't you think? :P
" Frankincense is definitely intrinsically valuable to humans"
I don't even know what frankincense is, beyond a gift for a fictional demigod baby...
Sadly, most people in the west no longer know what frankincense, but it was highly valued as a medicine in the past, and still is in many places today. It's starting to make a comeback in the information age, though, and it's worth looking into; it's a hell of a lot cheaper and safer than chemo. Whether it's more effective or not... I encourage you to do your own research. :)
