@natehagens: If our cultural values and ways of life are what got us here, rooted in narrow-boundary, cold, and logical thinking – then perhaps moments of turbulence like these actually call on us to change our way of thinking entirely.

I.ko :

Capitalism is the worst economic system

Shane.the.train :

Capitalism is not to blame. Human greed and selfishness is to blame. Humans used capitalism to benefit their greed more than anything. Capitalism has benefits but it can be wielded in a negative form when not kept in check.

hootietootie93 :

AI is the new steam engine

Odessa 🇨🇦 :

You’re confusing capitalism with commerce. Selling the excess produce of your labour is Commerce. Capitalism is owning the means of production & forcing others to labour for you, so you can pocket the profits. We will always have commerce, but capitalism has reached its end.

🌠 :

I hate capitalism with every fiber of my being. I know I was meant to wake up just before the sun, tend to my plants and animals, and take a nap around lunch, and spend the night telling stories around the hearth.

beet0043nfw :

technology could be liberatory if the gains accrued to the workers and not the owners

rigabu :

Tolkien loathed industrialization

Elupho :

Nothing to do with industrial technology and every thing to do with capitalism

B :

Almost every tool invented by man has been used by a small % of man to exploit others for profit. The more time workers gain via tech & tools, the more the Corporations/Companies try to make us produce.

Rachel Bolivar :

So how do we go back? PLEASE.

Parrothead13 :

The invention of the electric lights made factories 24 hour operations 😏

reece :

the fact that I can accomplish twice as much in half the time at work because of AI... yet I'm still required to work 8 hours a day. is insane

CivilDawn :

All value comes from labor. All profit is stolen surplus value from workers.

Who dis? :

Any books about this?

Disney Adult :

the point that a lot of people are missing: machines and technology are not a panacea in and of themselves. what social conditions they are deployed in matters very much.

LoneRanger :

Having time off but no dentistry and air conditioning vs our current corporate exploited life…🤷‍♂️

gifford Scanlon :

Holy shit! he's right!!!

Nickp463 :

The industrial revolution is not only linked to capitalism but also to out current climate change and nuclear weapons.
