      The concept of debt is literally trade with a delay. I give you thing now, you give thing to trade for later. Because you don’t give now, you give better thing then I gave you later

    This statement implies that we’re born with debt through no fault of our own? Which, well, as a metaphorical debt to society, sure, but not in any literal sense? Your literal debts are not tied to your existence, they’re tied to an agreement you made, if even under duress. Sure, you can argue that you’re forced to go into debt for one thing or another, but it’s not really the same thing as just being inherently indebted.
