The level of distortion of monetary mirror curves is so high that money is not simply manipulating our consciousness and distorting the behavior of market agents, it makes us evaluate ourselves through the monetary prism. Under certain conditions, we can easily say how much one or another person costs, and this is not in a figurative sense, we give monetary value to his or her real estate or other property, talent and even health of an individual, for example, when it comes to the purchase of such internal organs as kidneys.

Monetary management changes the perception of the prestige of professions, which are not valued in terms of their importance for human development, but rather in terms of profitability, allowing oil tycoons or other "successful" people to give advice on how to get rich for "losers" like rural teachers, who earn less than $300 a month, with a clever appearance proving that the latter are to blame for being close to the poverty line, being passive participants in market relations. And there is nothing surprising here, the growing imbalance in the distribution of wealth, the complete concealment of this process is the product of monetary civilization.

There is a subversion of basic human values, when even a future child or marriage is weighed through the prism of banknotes, and whether it is worth having children or getting married, if you have material difficulties ahead of you. Money addresses both the issue of environmental pollution and the sale of illegal goods, they know neither morals nor morals, and if money brings new money, then only the size of the latter will allow us to say whether the negative externalizes will fall on people's shoulders or not.

It is the development of monetary civilization that has led to the aggravation of demographic and environmental problems unfolding against the backdrop of an ever-growing cultural crisis.

Threats to nature, man and society coming from the institution of money are not illusory; money distorts all spheres of human existence, transforming it with one goal only - self-reproduction of oneself in isolation from social and economic processes aimed at reproduction of man and society as a whole.

And sadly, the achievements of scientific and technological progress, the discovery and widespread spread of computer technologies and the Internet environment, only strengthen the artificially created monetary simulation of reality, provoking the advanced development, for example, financial speculation. Their performance in the world currency and stock markets only creates the appearance of real investment in the development of material production, in fact, speculation is a pump that artificially inflates financial bubbles, the permanent occurrence of which only once again confirms the instability of the monetary system of management.

New technologies not only strengthen the monetary simulation of reality, but also expand its borders. Money, having completely lost its gold collateral, is trying to finally break out of the material world, breaking with its paper form. Money signs, turning from paper into digital symbols, are increasingly moving into the electronic environment, multiplied in it, the number of their forms increases manifold, only the names of cryptocurrencies at the present stage is counted in thousands.

The combination of an electronic carrier and a virtual social form transforms virtual money into a special super-network, a "web of spider webs" that is thrown at our life activities and clouds our consciousness.

This moment does not go unnoticed. The literature of the late 1990's and 2000's shows the beginning of a turn towards a conceptual understanding of the changes taking into account the problems that the monetary management system poses to humanity, which once again confirms that all of the above is not intellectual excursions, but a reflection of the dominant discourse.

Raising the questions of new individualism as the basis for the sovereignty of the individual, changes in the nature of globalization, consumption patterns, scientists (E. Wallerstein, F. Fukuyama, J. Stiglitz, G.K. Gelbreit, A.V. Buzgalin, A.I. Kolganov and many others) talk about the features of the future of society, the economy of the new century, a new level of quality, not reducible to the known technological changes and modifications of the existing monetary form of management.

Transition from the "kingdom of necessity" to the "kingdom of freedom", from their point of view, is inevitable, money as a cancerous tumor in the body of the modern socioeconomic system will lead to its death, on the place of which there will be a new, completely different civilization, the description of the key features of which - this is a theme for reflection, beyond the limits of this text.
