@tinker It's a theme I see in so many domains. We have the tech right now to solve most of the material problems people have. It's good enough to make everyone's life so much better than it is, but because capitalism is always searching for growth, nothing is ever sufficient. If no improvements to a technology can be profitably made, the technology is turned into a service and rented, or systematically squeezed to extract every last drop of value that it can produce until nothing is left.

@tinker Capitalism cannot handle the concept of a solved problem. It can never be satisfied. Everything good is eventually destroyed by its need for growth.
