I don’t understand.

Everything is “bad” by that standard.
Eg, “Airplanes are bad because they don’t operate based on anti-gravity warp drives! If airplanes want to shake that reputation, they need to do better!”
…do you have any reason to believe better outcomes are actually possible?
- dspillett 2y ago> You’re claiming that capitalism is “bad” Can you show the court, on the dolly, where dspillett said it was absolutely bad? IIRC the closest I came to that was suggesting it had a reputation for doing some bad things. Saying something can improve is not the same as saying it is absolutely bad in all imaginable ways, unless you live in a fantasy world where there is no “meh” only perfection and anti-perfection. > do you have any reason to believe better outcomes are actually possible? Not much, beyond a small and rapidly diminishing supply of hope!
