Can't read that article either.

Lets build new systems, because the old (financial) systems are based on "make believe" science.

Printing paper (cash) then trading paper for paper (stockmarket, digital or not) does NOT create value.

Builing innovative products that help people in everyday life, does create value & jobs.

I agree, but there’s no reason to be an asshole about it.

If you communicate and someone fails to understand, that’s a communication on your part.

But perhaps what you meant to say is “if you disagree, you’re stupid”. That sentiment is incompatible with constructive discourse. It is also a dangerous trap for you. If you assume everyone who disagrees with you is dumb, you cannot correct any error in thinking. The only people who never need to be corrected are the people who are perfect. How many of those people are there? And even if there were perfect people you would not be one of them since you misspoke and said understand instead of agree.

But like I said, I do agree. We ought to build value. In fact that might be the answer. The economy is dangerously overbalanced, but the solution is a return to value. Identify the things that produce a tangible benefit by making peoples lives better, making their work easier or better, making their lives less environmentally destructive. If we trim all the speculation off the economic system a core of value will remain. The system won’t go to zero because there’s good in the center. And maybe it’ll do us all a lot of good for the wild speculation to stop.

Re your hint: You seem to be classifying those who don't understand as stupid. That's not compatible with the site guidelines.
Had SO many stupid replies that thinking about not only deleting ALL tweets (if not now, then when? x XD)

But also giving up on

1) mankind

2) this nice & uncomplicated hacki app that integrates so well with the ycombinator comment section

#2 is definately an option.

As i just can not be bothered with trolls & the ignorant & the stupid.

(Costs too much time & energy educating those who have been ignorant towards their own development for decades)

Ok what would you name it then?
Imagine thinking like the root node that only you understand Marxism, cooperative anarchy, etc of all the people that are currently living.
