People wanted disruption ... well that's what you get. Economics of capitalism at work.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if wishing for profit over anyone's well being or if wishing for disruption over sustainability.

I hypothesize an antidote to capitalism could be collaboratively learning how to sustainably contribute to all life's needs together through science, art, and love.

I'm very interested in picking apart this hypothesis. If you (the person reading this) disagree, would you be willing to specify the words you disagree with and/or specific examples explaining why you disagree? Same for if you agree <3

Profit creates well-being. Without profit, the economy stops.
I'm fairly certain well-being comes from needs being met. Life has no need for profit or money. Those are constructs that require believing what you said in order to be true.
