Why Capitalism will not lead Humanity to species uplift: - prioritizes growth over sustainability - extreme narcissistic foundation: infinite resources when we only have access to to one pixel of the universal map. - thinking in the shortest increments based on up-only profit targets from a stagnating population instead of thinking in multi-lifetime increments. We could have an Earth-wide shared space elevator built by now for less than $8T, where we have the tech to create spaceships in 0g, not confined to the physical design needed to escape Earth’s gravity, to expand from 1 pixel of the map. Instead, governments run on fear and greed, tribal, and humans waste away in inflating debt, trained to consume and stay tame.
