Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

I like your message. Have you considered that we are also nature?

[-] two_wheel2@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

We’re definitely a subset of it! And you could argue that any machinations therein are a part of nature, but then again I also think that if you have a computer running a simulation, while the computer is the substrate the simulation is run on, it’s also a bit separate. One way to think about it is that there isn’t really a “place” in the computer you can look and find the simulation. So too is our society. Nature (us) is its substrate, but you can’t really point to anywhere in nature with any kind of precision and say “ah, there is the society”.

Similarly, it's fun to ask people to "point to their mind." ^.^ I will say, with more abstract things I do like to take note of the concentrations. Particularly, it's easy to find vortices of stupidity while driving or visiting a grocery store, at least around where I live. Lol
