In its effort to empower the individual, capitalism has failed to scale. It's not a good design. If it was it would scale to empower most of the 7 billion inhabitants of this planet. What it has managed to do is empower a tiny fraction of the population at the expense of the rest of humanity. Those whom it empowered are neither the most intelligent nor the most helpful. They're just skilled opportunists; our genetic inheritance from our reptilian cousins. (Please no jokes about PG being a retile)
- giardini 11y agoUnfettered capitalism has problems. Proponents like it's clean, easy models, but capitalism needs restraints. To blindly claim otherwise at this time in history is foolish and shows one is in a state of denial. They're just skilled opportunists; our genetic inheritance from our reptilian cousins. More likely from our primate ancestors, don't you think?
