Is life a machine which converts time into money and money into experience which fuels the said machine ?
The differences are due to the conversion efficiencies.

I'm pretty sure what you're describing isn't the life machine.

It sounds more like the orphan crushing machine.

The life machine gives you lemons I think 🤔

All right, I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager!
Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!

Life itself isn't. Like time, money and experience it is more an abstract concept...

For a Ferengi, yes.

nah, that's just capitalism. life is what you're missing while trying to fuel the machine to survive

Life is a big flipflop machine
