Which specific economic model will scale globally and is better at distribution of scarce resources than capitalism?

Literally every ideology-driven argument falls apart when it’s time to talk implementation. Theory is nice for winning Internet arguments with incels. The real challenge is making it work in the real world.

I submit that, if we normalized the notion of ethical capitalism - a capitalism that intelligently recognized all systems have limits, and eternal growth is impossible and pursuing profit at any cost is inhuman. Governments can put necessary checks in place, but society needs to change its values. Ethical capitalism requires a population willing to go without when the real costs of convenience sets the world on fire.

Now show me a society with values that supports delayed gratification as a moral value. I’ll wait.

Nice. Good for him.

I first met Chris around 2006 or so. Always been a decent person and very dedicated OSS contributor.

Oh good. Next wave counter-culture is starting to name itself. This is a fun period in any movement.

I was present for the early copyleft era that corporate software development exploited then squashed with more “business-friendly” OSS licenses. Now we’re seeing the mega-scale tech companies enshittifying their products necessitating a new wave of open-information counter-culture to fight the Big Tech birthed from the post-dot-com OSS movement.

History doesn’t repeat itself. It often rhymes.
