❝ Money Defeated Magic

·1 min

The quote below was originally published on taylor.town:

They gave us a universal currency; we turned it into a casino.

They gave us a town square; we turned it into a fight club.

They gave us a universal oracle; we turned it into a billboard.

Money defeated magic.
