    Whole point of capitalism is breaking the game to get ahead. The meta is too advanced, and we no longer get good stuff out of it as a side effect; that waste has been largely eliminated.

    Any solution will not last, unless the beast is slain, and the more we try the more we kludge up the engine. It’s not worth running anymore, if it ever was.

      Wasn’t really ever worth it. There has been calculable dehumanization, exploitation, and genocides all in the name of profit and efficiency. The quality of life going up for some of us in some parts (which is largely because of unions anyways) should not excuse the harm that capitalism has done and continues to do.

      As you say, the incentives in the system are not towards a prosperous and stable society, but towards maximizing how much you can squeeze out of people.

      So in my opinion it was never worth it is essentially what I’m saying.

        wasn’t ever

        I agree, but even for those who don’t; it’s over. Any illusion of utility is drowned by the rising tide of it’s costs, even for those of us who don’t live in houses that will be underwater in 10 yew4e
