@robpike@hachyderm.io Ergo, capitalism tends to become ever-more detached from reality, and, if let alone, will destroy itself eventually. That which better comports with reality will remain, and will serve as foundations for whatever comes after. (Hopefully this includes us as a species, let alone high technology, but I suppose nothing is guaranteed.

@lykso@tiny.tilde.website @robpike@hachyderm.io it's also really important that the people making the decisions have as little understanding as possible of the product. ideally, it should be something they don't even use. that way they can think of it in purely economic terms.

@lykso@tiny.tilde.website @robpike@hachyderm.io Capitalism always tends to fascism, as competition muffles and expropriates the cultural value of cooperation. The result is the exploitation and mass consumption of capital markets. Their injustice and inequality fuel the Nationalist sentiments of fascists ethnic supremacy, which depends on the cult of mob rule financed by the ultra rich! The reason, that colonial Empires are unsustainable and ultra violent is because their industry, military, intensive agriculture and tech superiority depend on the institutional ideologies of exploitation like Capitalism, but end with the totalitarian corruption of markets by celebrity cults of the mob like Fascism.
