So true, great post. There are many examples of this in society. Like @kr discussed in a recent podcast we could have had flying cars already. We could also have had abundant chemical & salt-free water from our oceans and water-powered engines & vehicles.

It’s not just the incentives to build these innovative products don’t exist, it’s that the existing power structures in place have very very strong incentives to ‘neut’ or prevent them from taking off & gaining traction.

The reason we have so many plastics in our society is not because we can’t create biodegradable packaging, just like the reason we can’t have natural pharmaceutical products with no petrochemicals in them is not because it’s hard but because the oil giants have every incentive to monetise their waste products and impose their usage on society.

When you start thinking about it, there is sooo much suppression of innovation and technology in today’s society. When the cap is lifted and these dark incentives cease to retain such power, there’s going to be such a huge economic boom IMHO.

I gave a talk about consensus about how this is what we'll eventually have.

Making some steady progress in my tiny cabin project 🙂 Yesterday I managed to frame the second wall. Today more framing is coming my way 😁 I must say woodworking is fun, almost like real size legos.

Have a good one!

Real definition of capitalism is free market and respect of private property, exchange of goods based on respect of the market.
Problem is people associate it with US administration for 50 years, and what they do is opposite of capitalism. It "sounds" like a bad and selfish thing
