Religion, politics, sex and money.
Taboos are being broken down .. every day. Things we didn’t discuss before.. we’re discussing now.
Concepts we couldn’t question… we’re questioning now.
There was a time you couldn’t question God - or even the idea of God. Today people are free to think and worship whatever God they choose.
There was a time when you couldn’t question the political leader, the King, or the president. In a majority of human societies that’s gone.
What’s next? Sex? Are any sexual taboos still around today? Maybe, but they are being dismantled all the time.
There’s something different about money. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. So I decided to have a chat with Tim.

This conversation with Tim helped me refine my question.
And here is the question:
If a taboo is defined as something prohibited or restricted by social custom - should money be treated as a taboo?
