Who told you about usury and its role? So while you don’t know you can always rebel without a cause.
Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 film about a troubled teenager, Jim Stark, who struggles to fit in with his peers and find himself in a conformist 1950s society. The phrase has since come to mean someone who rebels against society without a clear purpose or cause. It suggests that the individual is rebelling for the sake of rebelling, without any real direction or motivation. (ao)

Can AI see a link with usury?
It is difficult to draw a direct connection between the film Rebel Without a Cause and usury. However, the themes of societal conformity and rebellion in the film can be seen as a metaphor for the struggle between those who benefit from usury and those who are harmed by it. Usury, or the practice of lending money at unreasonably high interest rates, can be seen as a form of exploitation of people in need of money. The rebellious protagonist of the film can be seen as a symbol of those fighting against such exploitation. (ao)
AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.
Me: Usury creates rebels without a cause who miss the ability to pinpoint it a bit more to what actually (usury plus usury unawareness) is going on.
ChatGPT (jan23):
It is possible that usury and usury unawareness can contribute to social unrest, class struggle, and social erosion. The pressure to acquire and repay loans can lead to a variety of negative consequences, such as poverty, prostitution, and family breakdown. It may also lead to an increase in social conflict and a sense of hopelessness among those who are struggling to make ends meet. Additionally, usury may contribute to the scapegoating of certain groups and the creation of “rebels without a cause” who may not fully understand the root causes of their struggles.

Extra:
The films The Outsiders (1983) and Over the Edge (1979) can be related to the topic of usury, as they both contain characters who are struggling against oppressive forces. In The Outsiders, the characters are fighting against the economic and social inequalities that exist between the rich and the poor. Similarly, in Over the Edge, the characters are rebelling against the exploitative practices of the local real estate developer. These films show the struggle of individuals against oppressive forces and can be seen as a metaphor for the struggle against usury. (ao)
