follow the money is a useful idea ------------------- but, what you see when simple people say this is ------------ no more (that's their imagination limit)
there's another question and it's more important -
after you follow the money to the source -------- what do you do then, is that the end of your curiosity quest?
Ok - first, why are you following the money? ----------- to find cause? or to find, the driver of the bus?
Let's look at it - simple folk think that if they follow the money - they will find who is driving the situation ----------------- fair enough -
but, they have already assumed that they are following the money BECAUSE they believe that the money IS THE MOTIVE AND OBJECTIVE
and that's a very dangerous and silly assumption.
Take an example - Rupert Murdoc ------------ you could follow several trails of money that would end up at Rupert Murdoc ----------- no worries there
but, what have you really found? ------------ you've found Rupert Murdoc
have you found what drives him?
Nope, not at all. Yes, it might just be money, perhaps he's one of those whose never got enough --------- BUT, that would be an almighty assumption - and mostly, our assumptions are dead set wrong.
Following the money doesn't really tell you the story ---------- you really, in the end, are after WHY the money ends up where it ends up -------
what drives that person.
And that - is a far far far far more difficult question to answer. Sometimes - you will never get the answer.
