-ish. I would argue that the above aren't turning money into time, just
letting me spend time more efficiently.
I boil it down to: I can spend 8 hours, and a modicum of effort, and
earn/generate a certain amount of money. i.e. Larry's creation of wealth.
There is no way currently known (except possibly to some very obscure
physicists) for me to spend any combination of money or effort and have an
extra hour in a day. All that I can do is rearrange how efficiently I spend
the 24 I have.
(we are, of course, arguing semantics.) :)
