As some of you have noticed, a big theme on this Farcaster profile is objectivity vs. subjectivity The human experience is extremely complex, multi-faceted, diverse, and thus deeply subjective Financialization is an attempt to dumb some things down into objective numbers. For some things, like capital allocation, exchange of goods, it works brilliantly. Blockchains are exclusively the domain of the strictly objective. But for almost everything else, forcing subjective matters into objective outputs leads to potentially catastrophic outcomes, and the root cause is plutocracy - determining governance by wealth, to the worst-case scenario, truth itself. I don't need to tell how that's peak dystopia and an affront to humanity. Fuck "info finance" with a bag of stale scrotums

It's what I often sum up in "tech bros are taking over" and this can't end well. Ironic, I know, speaking as an engineer myself, which is the root of a few inner conflicts. @sheldrake has been raising this flag through his research for a few years. Plutocracy is desireable in an "us vs. them" zeitgeist. 1000 $degen

Nicely put @polynya. Ayn Rand must take a lot of the blame. Or perhaps more accurately, those who still subscribe to her reductionism despite the weight of knowledge revealing it for what it is. FYI, @tudorizer is referring to https://generative-identity.org
