    in what way is describing how a system works pro anything?

    The best systems are those that analyze the practical processes and outcomes and optimize for distributed prosperity regardless of the individual component processes’ economic model.

    Some systems make sense to be capital-driven because of the massive initial investment required to ship the first product for things that are luxury-only (movies, etc)

    Other systems should NEVER be capital-driven because they are tied to basic human needs and rights (health-care, education, etc)

    The first step towards reaching the best system for everyone to attain a minimum level of prosperity that scales upward based on their own desire for additional luxury is breaking down existing systems to identify the exact places where they fail, so we can be selective about how build systems going forward and intelligently implement safeguards when we choose one system vs another for a given vertical.

        As with the other comments you’ve made, you’re just saying words without understanding their meaning.

        I understand rhetoric very well.

        Stating an intentionally limited or cherry-picked set of facts with the intent to deceive can be a rhetorical ploy, but that’s genuinely not what the OC did, by a long shot. They fairly honestly break down (one of) the actual problem(s) with capitalism and how we wound up where we are.

        From my perspective, you are the naive one, looking for simple narratives to pin your arguments on, and denying attempts to engage with the nuance of human behavior and history.

        Life is complicated and trying to fit everything into a tidy little “capitalism bad” box isn’t going to produce the results you hope.

            “Too many words” is the response of a disinterested child who views engaging in conversation like eating their vegetables.

            Go back to your YouTube shorts I guess.
