Think about it. Capitalism is awesome if you’re the one who started it. 30-50 years later, its fuck everyone else.
All the great tech innovations happened early on and peaked many years ago. Anything innovative now doesn’t pay, so its onto the grift and theft of data, wages, etc.
Cool, managed to create all that and yet hasnt solved hunger, medical care, homelessness, or anything or substantive value. Any system where your priorities dont lie in improving peoples lives is a flawed system.
Even worse than that, our modern, high-tech capitalist civilisation, no matter its many ‘triumphs,’ has roundly failed to address what was obvious to anyone seeing the long view-- that without addressing the mechanisms of its own unsustainability, it will still fail, as all earlier civilisations did.
So we’re headed for a collapse, faster with every passing day, while overpopulation, overconsumption, and capitalism have arguably been the primary drivers of that. And the richest people and corporations in the world, being uniquely placed to make a huge difference on that front, instead only think of the next quarter’s profits, or their personal wealth and safety.
