Main entry
- Capitalism is bad because everyone is greedy / Capitalism is bad because it makes owners imperialistically greedy and customers materialistically greedy / greed (proposed cause of every part of capitalism) -> the claim that the only problem with capitalism is that every individual on earth doesn't strive to live "in balance" without "going over the line" into other individuals. this might sound all right if you have never heard of the concept of Social-Philosophical-Material Systems, and come to realize that competition between individuals occurs at the level of socially-linked groups of people merely existing, not at the level of people stating out loud at debates or in advertisements or news headlines what they're going to do next. if you have heard of it? you realize this proposition is nonsense because not only can nobody will what anyone else does, but definitely nobody can Freely Will how anyone else physically exists and develops as an organism. Existentialism claims to give everyone Freedom but in reality causes everyone to assign everyone else a designated purpose and required way to exist that will almost inevitably conflict with everyone else's purposes for themselves and others.
Consequences of greed being true
- Greed is bad, therefore everyone getting more and more education and aiming for higher and higher positions is bad -> major proposition of The Peter Principle. this is the dark side of everyone claiming that the constant push to innovate and innovate and "innovate" is a product of greed. when ordinary people hear that, they'll just tell you that every single case of incompetence or incorrect behavior was a case of arrogant people being greedy when they shouldn't have been there and everyone would be better off if they'd kept their heads down and done nothing.
I'll repeat it again and again: growth is a product of population growth and the desire for an overall population to have more. the process of Kimberlé Crenshaw doing a whole lot of research to build a progressive theory and the process of somebody pouring education and research into creating an AI are the same process. if you label that process "greed", the results will not be pretty. it takes a lot of "greed" to practically elevate people out of literally having been slaves. - Is it greedy to go to art school? / Is it greed when people choose the wrong career? -> if the answer is yes, and some individuals are obligated to spontaneously predict when it is wrong for them to go to art school or study epidemiology or designing circuits and say "well I guess I won't go to college" just to take money away from Disney and iPhone and Big Pharma, or because they instantly know there will be too much of those industries 4-8 years later, then you can call capitalism greedy.
