“If you’re so smart why are the only ways you have to get rich value extractive?”

A thought I have often about our so called smart people

Extraction of natural and human capital is the story of civilization unfortunately

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

I’m tired of being called a mf commie I’m NOT 😂

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

This is the only thing I envy about church goers

When you reject the label it makes it harder to find common souls 🫂 I think there’s tons of us!

Yes but also no? I know people who  softly identity as libertarians but are probably more independent. They aren’t particularly political though and pretty misinformed

It’s not hard to drill down with policy talk to realize they aren’t actually libertarians but if I say “fuck libertarians” it would be unhelpful 

Say this from my own experience. When I was a teenager, I kind of identified as  libertarian but I came of voting age in Los Angeles 1992. It changed the trajectory of my politics forever. They still are evolving. I think there are a lot of people like that out there like this
