The problem is that it is based on economic efficiency and productivity, which both escapes from material means and strives to maximally exploit people, potentially ending in one or another kind of a trap - a global minimum of human life quality for most of the people, as there's no profit to be had in getting it higher; or conservatively limiting research that would be threatening to capital owners. (Death of start-ups, ownership of science.)
- lawrenceyan 4y agoI think realistically having a high “global minimum” is all we can really achieve that’s sustainable in the long term. I’ve thought about it quite a bit, and though there’s a certain sense of satisfaction in wanting to bring down the elite / establishment, it doesn’t actually solve anything from the perspective of helping the average person.
