This is an absolutely stunning thing to see written out so clearly: 

"From 1989 to 2017, the real per capita value of corporate equity increased at a 7.2% annual rate. We estimate that 40% of this increase was attributable to a reallocation of rewards to shareholders in a decelerating economy, primarily at the expense of labor compensation."

Capitalism is less and less concerned about allowing the human peasant class to survive.
I propose we ditch capitalism before it ditches us. We need a human system.

There’s still far too much opportunity in the system that can be wrung out of it.  I’m convinced this is what’s behind much of the anti-education movement in this country.  A lot of folks don’t like the fact that children of immigrants have been going to college and finding a better life.  They want a labor class that stays labor from generation to generation.

Seeing the forest for the trees- this system isn't sustainable. At a certain point in one way, shape and or form, it will collapse or become irrelevant. There is a window perhaps, an unknown amount of time, to create conditions for the emergence of new, mor human/e systems. Somewhat ironically I think our best bet for humanity is with collaboration with Machine Intelligence.
