I mean there is an alternative out there for making software that doesn't require profit and can still provide societal value. The alternative isn't to forage in the wilderness, please tell me you are just having a laugh and weren't being serious.

This is the perfect manifestation of the quote: It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism

  • So far none of the imaginary economic systems seem to work as well as capitalism when it comes to raising human living standards. These vague, low-effort criticisms are getting tiresome.

  • Capitalism has become as much of a thought-terminating argument as 'the gods'. Most '-ism' words I think.
