I often feel like the legal Western capitalist structure causes more problems for a larger number of people than it solves. The better work the smartest geeks do now is reversing those flaws in many ways. I suppose the purpose that matters in the end --- if anything matters? -- is advancing the growth of the human species, and we should pick the societal innovations that work best for that. If it becomes possible to transcend old social norms and laws to benefit the masses, then do that instead of treating traditional societal authority as sacrosanct. But most people are unwilling to think for themselves. For example it seems ridiculous to judge useful websites by their ad-clicks & t shirt sales, if it wasn't for the US government and central banks, we'd have moved on to a better system by now where you can reward things with value points like reviews to judge value (everything is free, but the most viewed/downloaded data gets the most points). It's way better than saying we have a good idea that people like but how can we make money other than t-shirt sales? We'd have all the information and education free for everyone in the world to view and download already instead of only in the transhumanist 2300s. But instead of having our own opinions we're treated like robots being ranked and numbered for workplaces. We used to live in caves, we're just a species inhabiting nature. All species diverge and compete, but saying you can't do things differently cause you live here is nonsense. How can someone have that authority over you like that? It's like a different caveman tribe saying your tribes customs work well for you but it goes against our tradition, and we claim your land, so obey or be killed and jailed.<p>Bottom line is natural selection should favor the better options by any means of getting there; humans can't make rules, only to follow those that exist in nature.
