Hiring managers don't want to hire the best employees, they want to hire the
candidates who will make their job easier.
So it goes for 90% of capitalism. Everyone just wants less stress in their
life.

trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and
frameworks at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem
they face.
the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
people can't even understand when to *use* them much less how they work.

capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the
threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because
the remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle
down" to them somehow

when they say "capitalism is a competitive game" what they mean is "capitalism
is a game where everyone wins when someone else loses" and what we hear is
"capitalism is a game of trying to screw you out of as much money as possible"
and the truth is "capitalism is a game that you can't play" because 95% of the
people who will read this toot are not stock-owners.

Honestly if anyone wanted to just... take any of my stuff, even if they were
just going to sell it, I'd probably give it to them? People in my life say I
don't function well in a capitalist society. I guess I just trust everyone
equally.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

The point isn't to make solutions. You're too hung up on the question of "what
could be better than capitalism"
Make something better when it's time. For now, just get people on your side.

wow 90s advertising was intense
![an ad from Nintendo Power. on the left side of the screen, there's a solid red background (red the color of intensity, urgency, and vigor) which says in bold, black print: Christmas is coming. Beg early. Beg often. then, on the right, there are pictures of various nintendo games and systems with captions reading: N64 with Bonus Atomic Purple Controller - This one is definitely worth getting down on your knees. Brush up on your whimpering because these [Ocarina of Time and Rogue Squadron] are the holiday's hottest titles. Game Boy Color and new color games. Our advice? Grab onto mom's ankle and chant "Please, please, please." New Pokemon. Advanced groveling suggested. Donkey Kong Country 3 and Super Mario All Stars. Here's a tip: try and produce some tears before you start begging.
