I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of what you say. I think it just fails to see the wider system. For instance when you said "profit is not helpful to society" you were correct. But profit is the reward people get for doing things useful to society. It's the signal that the things they are doing ARE useful. And profit pays to continue and expand those actions. A more general theme is your distinction between "real" things and the alternative. You're not wrong an NFT is a total waste of time in my opinion. But if people actually want NFTs more than steel, that is ok. Give them NFTs. And many many people DO want those things. (There is something ironic that we have ended up here as the ussr concentrated on metrics like steel production while people grew more and more discontented because they wanted vacuous things like jeans and washing machines, not steel...). That is not the fault of the profit motive or the market or capitalism. That's people wanting the "wrong" things. That won't change under any other system...
