God yeah, a hundred percent, great illustration of exactly what I was alluding to. It’s so short sighted. Even the benefits are nothing compared to the heights we could reach if we oriented our economics around coopération.
Cruelly, this system “works” (or at least is successful in perpetuating its existence) right up until the point of resource collapse (or revolution, if we’re looking at the good ending).
Thanks for your reply. I was pretty happy with this comment, so am chuffed to hear you appreciated it.
