> you are worshiping some kind of idol of the token of exchange

Sure. If defining a word by what it is and then applying that definition to past people is “worshiping” an “idol”. I would call it “adhering to” a “definition”.

Fact: History, as a written corpus, pins the “invention” of a lot of things on white people, when Arabs, Chinese, or Mezoerican people “invented” those “fundamental economic tools” thousands of years before. Stock and debt being good examples.
