Re: The next capitalist revolution
#2None of this matters, not one iota. The world is choking in the filth we are creating, all while people like this pontificate about the next generation of the system that positively reinforces the creation of filth.

#3> Ronald Reagan fostered competition across much of the American economy.
> A similar transformation is needed today.
Reaganomics is the cause, not solution to, today’s capitalism crisis.

That is a bold large-ish declaration. Would you be kind enough to define: 1) Today's capitalism crisis, and 2) Reagonomics' role in being the cause instead of the cure?
Thanks so very much.

These downvotes are unfortunate given this statement is objectively true.

I didn't downvote the person, but I did ask for clarification and got downvoted.
Can you explain your claim 'objectively true'? There are too many non-concrete nouns running around for me to be able to keep track of...

I think the downvotes are coming from the lack of context accompanying the GP’s bold statements.

I found some documentary footage from the era that I think explained this quite well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NrWX-FsXgQ
Re: The next capitalist revolution
#9What we need is a revolution in how people think about complex systems.
People nowadays throw ideas around thinking they have a good understanding of how systems operate or should operate, when in fact most are clueless and fail to realize their ignorance.
Society, economy, biological organisms, climate, cognition, etc are all complex systems, and no single person can claim to understand how they work, or the types of laws/rules we should adopt to govern their behavior.
Not all is lost though, as we have slowly started to augment our cognitive power, by means of computation, and in the process have improved our capabilities to analyze and understand these ever evolving systems.
I for one, have began to fight my ignorance by studying more books on complex systems. Here's a good one I've discovered recently: "Scale" by Geoffrey West.

Nice clip. I'm sorry that I don't find it compelling for the purpose of answering the question as asked. Maybe you went to a different logic school.
