and people call me doomer! Extraction may be inevitable but is it desirable or sustainable? I agree the optimal amount of all bad things is nonzero but Many things were until they weren’t. Leaded gasoline was profitable and widespread and yet we somehow got it together to stop doing that

Controversial but I believe Weber that the cultural fuel of capitalism was the Protestant work ethic Catholics were slower to industrialize for this reason Unfortunately we abandoned all that cultural fuel. I believe that without it we will find the system can no longer self sustain. It is why many push for what I argue are lesser economic systems without knowing why

And it wasn’t even fair? I am a capitalist but it needs to get checked everyone once in awhile. It’s getting to be about that time

All I need is an angry mob to bring me them I can build the guillotines I am willing to pull the lever What I need is a mob. Also you know, I would absolutely prefer a more peaceful solution but sometimes you just gotta chop a few rich people's heads off to remind them that we will chop their heads off.
