  > The TLDR of my point is going to be that wealth concentration and information pollution sets up economies that don’t work for us in a manner that is healthy for us. I agree. Though I think it's important to understand that a capitalist economy serves wealth, and nothing else. It's depressing, but I think it's more likely we'll have a genocide of workers than any kind of non-capitalist economy, since modern advances are simultaneously entrenching the power of elites and sapping it from everyone else. Even if you could overcome fragmentation and manage to organize a general strike, the trillionaires won't care because it's robots and thoroughly indoctrinated libertarians doing the remaining work.

  We need to find a way to incentivize progress that does not involve purely personal wealth.
