> but lately I feel like capitalism is a poison on society. The bad actors get more press. All the software companies making products that help people out don't get good press. From implantable diabetic insulin pumps that auto-regulate, to small educational software made by people who love the field they are in. Heck, Google Maps has made mass transit many times more usable than before, a definite societal good. I love being able to visit almost any major city in any country and have Google maps tell me what bus/subway/lightrail line to use. There is code out there that helps writers organize their thoughts, mobile apps to help with meditation, and plenty of sites using ad revenue to create high quality video content about how to effectively and safely get in shape and work out at the gym. Not to mention the thousands of small merchants who make their livelihood from capitalism. I go to an independent optician, the eye glasses I'm currently wearing were locally designed and manufactured. And how many authors has Amazon helped support? Many independent authors who could never have gotten recognized, or had a fan base before, can now support themselves through writing and publishing. Capitalist incentives are an overall good, but it is incredibly unfortunate that as a species we have used our learnings about ourselves to create self-destructive economic cycles. (Not that this is anything new, opium dens were a thing for a long time!)
