The Inward Draw of Capitalism

In the end, every single person like Nick who votes to deploy their capital into something which doesn’t produce anything beyond capital, is a vote to sit on the sidelines while every single other person works to keep the lights on, or ideally reverse the cycle.

If you’re familiar with the “Great Filter”; this is our great filter. If we go inward, we will never find that intelligent life beyond, or won’t be around for that intelligent life to find us.

We are on a trend “inward”, where capital, our proxy for GDP, is better served deployed into things that generate more capital, instead of things that generate production.
