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

Just a little side bar. I reject the political buckets. I’m probably more against capitalism than you. It doesn’t matter though. What I love right now is the leftist/libertarian overlap. These people can work together much better than any of them can with any of the established parties. Also I think there are way more of us people than people even know. If you tell anyone it gives me a little hope, I’ll deny it

You just care about value. Capitalist are greedy as shit, to the point where they have no soul. Extraction isn’t the only way to get rich, it’s just the encouraged route.
