I disagree with your assessment of "biologically-minded" as an oxymoron. But I can see the irony.

I was referring to the dichotomy between attributing your deterministic motivation to your thinking (mind) versus attributing your motivation to your biology. Of course you may argue there is no difference, or you may argue that there is.

I read it on the internet so it must be true.

It's funny how circles, with nothing but those nice soft curves, can still be vicious.

Coins are vicious circles - reduces everything to the lowest common denominator.

The lowest common denominator is often what you end up being reduced to in various struggles of one kind or another. (Beat that for determinism)

The lowest common denomination of the currency here is larger than the lowest common denomination of the prices of things, so rounding is required when paying cash.

Rounding is required here too, usually upwards. Such is 'their' determination to make more money out of you.

When paying by credit card, there is no rounding. Furthermore, there is often a substantial discount.
