  • Imagine something more valuable than your life. Every moment you think of a loved one being well you feel joy. When they are hurt you feel a physical pain in your chest. You would do anything for them. The world is no longer about you.

    Looking from the outside that sounds like a very vulnerable and unattractive situation to be in. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

    (Disclaimer: It’s still possible to hold unconditional love and betray that love in a self centric way, I have, but the above is how I would describe the ‘feeling’ of it)











  • So you’re saying you agree?

    Walmart is absolutely a result of capitalism, those intricate supply chains are in place to make money. Maybe we could do it without a common way to track needs for a while, but would it adapt? Would the alternative resist corruption better? The invention of Money almost seems an inevitable consequence from one perspective.

    I don’t think this answers the original question, but it’s an interesting side topic.
