I call this “I, Pencil Socialism”.

We live in a world where everyone depends on the output Of everyone else - none of us could live without farmers and hauliers, doctors and street cleaners, all of whom Build on a foundation from the past

Assigning value, billionaires collecting rent, that’s the flawed model

It’s not capitalism that makes this world possible (the assumption of I Pencil).

It’s the sharing, the trading, the leaving money on the table because it’s too complex to work out how much Elon Musk’s 3rd Grade Math teacher should get for teaching him the basics of finance.

You don’t get credit - you get to live in the modern world

If there are those who do not get to share equally in that world - that’s a bug not a feature.

We need to fix the bug.
