This is an amazing article, Brett

Can you tell me more about these “Money Workshops” and how I could run one locally? 🧐

So one could first draw the picture of the "external battery" from a single alien tribe members point of view, it consists of the other people of the tribe that he is in relationship with. Now extend that picture by swapping out each of those individuals with a whole set of people, who could potentially fill that role in any given instance. While explaining that we are in a tribe so big that there are so many people for that role, that you don't know them but still they have some way of authenticating to you that they are capable of filling that role, while you use your money to authenticate to them that you are allowed to receive what they provide. In addition the money, now in the hands of that guy, authenticates that he did good to the global community and therefore is entitled to receive from others. So the first picture would be money as authentication.

Another picture that your article suggests is money as external battery (or as a display for the external battery only?): The change of money documents the flow of energy that took place, when you used that guy as your external battery. I.e. that you charged your internal battery using that guy's internal battery. Thereby your external battery decreased but this other guys external battery charged.
