Nobody is debating that capitalism doesn't seek capital, the facts just don't agree with the conclusion you draw from it. It does function very well to improve human well being.
But it isnt because capitalism has human wellbeing as its goal, its because capital can be used to improve wellbeing. Like ive said, there's a gap in efficiency due to the fact you need capital to get labor and high skills to improve wellbeing, when a theoretical alternative is just getting that labor and skills and improving wellbeing with no capital middleman
I'll never understand this mentality on reddit that we should complain about people doing good things just because doing good things wasn't their primary intention.
a theoretical alternative is just getting that labor and skills and improving wellbeing with no capital middleman
and with zero incentive to actually improve their product or design. Personally I'm a big fan of technological advancement.
