Capitalism isn’t evil, it’s just a system, people decide how its used, with their mindset, which we taught them, and with how the system is organized.
Trade is supposed to be positive, but if you lose the human exchange in it and over specialise ppl in for instance having to sell or other things they will optimise the human out, especially with AI.
How AI should be used
So let’s have the right mindset.
Instead see capitalism as two things:
- a way to have ppl not be idle (money pressure can be good, but can also be too much, depending once again on mindset and circumstances)
- a way to see what is actually useful. Really. People will buy it if it is, it is a good test! But we must see money as something to be spent not hoarded. You want to change the world? Make it profitable. Ppl won’t reliably be able to work for nothing. Find a way, ppl want these kind of solutions too.
Like this you can change the world, but don’t forget your mission as you get bigger. And of course a lot of ideas do not work out, only do what you truly believe in.
I have to be honest, if money didn’t exist, I’d invent it.
