I’ve said this a couple of things before, but in practice, capitalism is turning out to be the worst system ever tried.
To me capitalism is the result/consequence/reflection of most people *not* trying, i.e. not trying to be more than self-centric/self-ish, necessarily increasing the odds of others - including the environment - being so-called left in the lurch.
In a behaviorally mathematical sense, putting oneself first implies exploiting others.
Biggest wealth gaps merely reflect biggest self-love gaps.
Ego has never been more worshipped and, thus, more fragile and pathetic. Have a look at "the news", or any "social media" site if you're not convinced.
Modern ego has raised said pathetica even higher by openly being even more smug about being *above* self-help - read: self-eradication - systems that actually work. "*ME* don't hafta change! *YOU* da problem, you BIG BAD VICTIMIZER of VICTIM ME! ME ME ME!!!"
Jesus "fucking" Christ isn't the problem. The problem is closer to pathetically self-focused individuality loci putting more effort into increasing than to decreasing self focus.
Blaming capitalism is akin blaming a shadow. The problem is in the mirror, not the window.
