Ah, classic capitalism. Once somebody makes anything profitable, there is no way to stop doing it.

- TeMPOraL 13y agoCan we somehow figure out how to make good and valuable things profitable?
- pablovidal85 13y agoI think this is one of the most important problems of our time, and not sure if we are gonna solve it quickly enough. As Scott Adams says in his last book, if capitalism has succeeded for anything, is mostly because of it's simplicity, as there is only one relevant concept to learn about it, profit.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoThat's my worry too. Since you mentioned the latest book by Scott Adams, it's called "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life" [0]. I read it recently and I think it's a good book. It has some nonobvious ideas, like systems thinking vs. goal-oriented thinking.
