And the reason Luke is thinking about time and free will is because he believes that money is the closest human beings have ever come to crystallizing time and free will into a compact physical form. Cash. Cash is a time crystal. Cash allows you to multiply your will, and it allows you to speed up time. Cash is what defines us as a species. Nothing else in the universe has money. Douglas Coupland
About This Quote

Money can be defined as a physical object that has value. The value is derived from something like mass, weight, size, and/or number of units. It can be measured in different ways such as when calculating production costs or to determine the value of an object when selling it for profit. However, when we look at it in terms of time and free will, we must look at its ability to increase our free will and ability to make decisions in life. We cannot put a price on how much we use our free will in our daily lives.
