Excellent! We don’t hear enough about Entropy. It’s only a law of nature, but finance thinks they can dodge it! Please do more like this!

Thanks! I’d like to see you discuss how we shift investment and governance beyond care for each other additionally toward the ecosystem repairs that we desperately need if humans can thrive. Example, shifting the billions spent on AI, toward reforestation, wetland repair, sustainable agriculture.

We know that entropy cost is real. We know that faster is wasteful. We know about planned obsolescence. We know that happiness is almost never a result of flash and possession of stuff. We know that too much choice is paralyzing. We all own some 50 yr old very useful things.

Consider framing the criticism in terms of Entropy. Real capital suffers entropy,negative compound interest. Financial capital uses cheap labor to sustain real capital, then gathering the manipulated positive financial returns. Now 50% of citizens own 2.5% of capital, an awful return!

Sounds like the Toyota lean development system we used in medical delivery reform in the HMO I worked in.Many great ideas proved unworkable, then were modified serially until we achieved our goal or changed the goal to something that was workable. Purists were not very useful.

Predictable, since most profit in our economies comes from finance rather than real productive assets. Could a government stabilize things by taxing financial profits at progressively higher rates, drying up interest in “financial engineering “?

My medical life was spent dealing mostly with immediate suffering, the luxury of systemic change was irrelevant in that moment. I knew the social/economic causations, but our Siloed systems effectively prevented discussion of changes. Government could demand the silos talk then act for our benefit.

Need to learn to communicate the last half of this talk into something that non economists can easily understand. It’s been too easy to scare people with “debt” and then say that these benefits are just economic fantasy. The initial part seemed clear enough, you need to work on the rest.

Anyone who repeats that lie , always stated without a shred of evidence is a pure propagandist. By the way I’m not a loser, unless you idea of what a loser is everyone who believes that the great commandment to love your neighbor as yourself is a loser! I guess Jesus was a loser too!
