I really do think we're brainwashed in the U.S. to think with money to the point that we can't make rational decisions about resource allocation, because everything has to somehow involve money and money-gains. After a lot of thinking I came up with some non-money values: >healthspan or health-outcomes >access to edible food and drinkable water >literacy >net pollution >net resources (e.g. soils, forests, drinking water, etc.) I think it's important to optimize all these factors and I have noticed that under capitalism it is very easy to mask the massive failure to do so. Capitalists just point at their increasing capital and say "Look! All is well! We're gaining capital!"
