Look this is bad, but if Ursula K LeGuin introduced a planet where trees are currency I’d love that shit.
That's the difference between saying some random Jaden Smith bullshit that popped into your head and actually thinking and doing world building.
A sort of neo-feudalism based off of ownership of trees (and the land they're on) being used in terraforming perhaps.
I could copy paste her tweets and put them in badposting and they'd be indistinguishable from badposting bits. Actually i might go do that see how many people catch on
But banknotes are made of cotton fibre, instead of wood fibre. So the dollar isn’t backed by trees, dummy. 
That's her point. Dollars should be printed directly on tree bark.
just imagining being in a room with this type of person is exhausting.
"I have never thought about this thing before 30 seconds ago and rather than look anything up using the handheld device connected to all the collective knowledge of the world, I'm going to start transcribing my thoughts like I am innovating purely through raw perception."
is that what this kendrick song was talking about?
i like how much she talks about communism and economics without having even the beginning of a basic understanding of any of it. like this is the kind of thing i'd expect out of a 14 year old trying to figure out how money works. still, maybe the tree based economy is better than the gaming based economy she proposed last time
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Shut up Musketa no one cares
“the incentives in capitalism are bad but im a capitalist”
why lol
you aren’t a capitalist grime’s you’re just rich
heh, yeah, my ideas are so out there and weird. i guess that's all in the job description of being an artist!!! 
Honestly, let her cook on that one
Amazing lmao
I always want to do bits about stupid crypto concepts like "TreeCoin! The first cryptocurrency backed by trees!" but it always turns out to actually exist and I've given up hope that I could shitpost hard enough to come up with one that doesn't. I don't even have to look it up to know that something like TreeCoin already exists, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there were ones named after each specific type of tree.
She sounds bored with her own dumb shit
I agree. This is the most low-energy bat-shit insane thing I've ever read from her.
Jaden Smith/Bjork fusion dance
How can our money be real if trees aren't real
the internet was a goddamned mistake don’t @ me.
