Ugh, ancap bullshit. Get out of your bubble.

> What's the point for investor to make money and then die of pollution or die in a fire.

Because then they have the money and you don't. That's all there is to it. Look at the world aroudn you and tell me how corporate greed isn't ruining it.

Actually don't tell me, your philosophy is bankrupt.

"Ugh, ancap bullshit. Get out of your bubble."

Did you miss I wrote I don't know it would work. Not an argument anyway? I don't know if you know the version I'm talking about. It doesn't even assume the non aggression principle.

"Because then they have the money and you don't".

Money can't buy you a planet (yet) and money only have value in a functioning economy.

"Look at the world aroudn you and tell me how corporate greed isn't ruining it" Most very rich people are actually donating most of their time to fix what they think are the worst problems

"Actually don't tell me, your philosophy is bankrupt"

Ad hominem, I belive?

> Money can't buy you a planet (yet) and money only have value in a functioning economy.

So? Look at the people around the world who are gleefully destroying everything to turn a buck.

You're unbelievably naive.

Ad hominem again, no hard data provided, just anecdotal evidence. Ignored all my other points. I'm the naive person. OK.
Your assertion that people wouldn't damage the environment in the pursuit of self enrichment is possibly the most naive thing I've ever seen written down.

It also flies in the face of 'hard data' like climate change, pollution of waterways and the air, extermination of species and all the other stuff people do in pursuit of money.
