Of course it is,I think society has been conditioned,or herded towards a general direction,granted has taken 64 yrs so far,and the demise of society as I know it has certainly increased in last 10 yrs,we are taught to want the next new tech device,the car that drives itself,life is whats on TV,low interest loans for homes,in reality it is no different then the story"how to catch wild pigs",you teach your dogs to do tricks,we are that example

Meh, go back to a time when there was no money then.
Barter your potatoes for brain surgery, see how that goes.
No holidays either.
Work sun up to sun down till you die.
It may not be a perfect system, and it has made us lazy...but I’d rather that than work and fight every waking minute just to survive.

What Greenspan doesn't say it that short clip is that printing money leads to inflation , an inconvenience for governments as the people that put them in power feel the pain , just printing money is not an option.
Money is far from a Red Herring it is the glue that holds society together.

The money we make, trade most of our working life for, worry about, and strive for is a myth. As hard as it is for people to wrap their heads around, these undeniable facts are truth.
Not trying to diminish anyone's bank account, career, wealth, 401k's, or dreams, but it can disappear overnight literally, because it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's/binary, in an electronic banking system, backed by nothing.
Money is the "Red Herring" Look at how we focus on national debts, and things that don't really exist, they've really got us under their thumbs, No?
We have a "Fiat Currency", it was never there in the first place. And TPTB don't hide it take a look they tell us right to our face. Suggestion play this video over and over, until it sinks in, then watch the second video.
We are taught to think making money per hour, trading our time (Per Hour) is the way. TPTB, and the elite pull money, out of their asses, then loan it to the a mass who will sign their life away for bling, mortgages, bills, elusive safeties, and more bling.
Now what is the real value? If people really want to understand and undo the brain-washing, here's a highly recommend video by Edward G. Griffin. It talks about how the Federal Reserve was implemented, and that the true value, of money is the sweat equity.
The video will empower people who do not understand the banking system we have today, and to slow down, question, and use critical thinking going forward, in their future.
I picked this video because it portrays a mindset, and without a partisanship bias, this is exactly what TPTB think about us.
so simple. Trade in only fungible assets. It starts with a way to trade your own time, labor and skill sets. Almost all of a man and womans energy today is spent in first working and then converting that into a currency that is taxed and regulatec beyond belief so you can go to your neighbor and buy a loaf of bread they baked, or some eggs your neighbors chickens laid.

Option instead of a "Fiat currency"? The answer is whatever everyone excepts as their truth, because people need to put their faith in something, and a fiat currency is just that a faith based system.
The question is Does everyone have faith?
