C.R.E.A.M – Ain’t That The Truth

The Truth

The Wu-Tang clan had it right. Cash rules everything. Everything.

If you’ve ever thought of money as a drug, you may be more right than you know. New research shows that counting money — just handling the bills — can make things less painful.

I’m sorry. What?

Then, some of the students were asked to put their fingers in bowls of water heated to 122 degrees Fahrenheit and rate how uncomfortable it felt. “The subjects who had earlier been counting money and had their hands in the painfully hot water reported that the water didn’t feel so hot to them, compared to people who had counted slips of paper,” Vohs says.

So I guess we can stop wondering why women stay with rich guys who beat them. It isn’t because they question their worth without that man, it’s that the punches just don’t hurt that bad! Stepping out of a Bentley and getting backhanded is like getting punched while wearing the Iron Man suit. I can attest to this. I was in the U.K recently and I was holding a £20 note when a man with a mask severed my arm with a machete. I didn’t feel a goddamn thing! I finished my game of shuffleboard and everything.

As far as your brain’s concerned, money can act as a substitute for social acceptance, reducing social discomfort and, by extension, physical discomfort and even pain.

Oh wow. Can you imagine what will happen in a capitalist society once people know they can buy shit that they don’t necessarily have the money for, and they will feel better about it?! This is going to be amazing. We’ll be able to build a whole society on the foundation that if you spend money (earned or yet to be earned), your quality of life will increase and your pain will lessen. I can’t wait till this catches on. There isn’t a down side in sight!
