That is not true.
It’s a good thing you don’t have a dual major.
Because all humans do not seek growth. I would love to see how you could cite that. Human seek predictability. And that is not growth.
And capitalism needs growth cite where does not.
And I’m not “claiming” that capitalism needs infinite growth. That is a fact. Cite it not be the case.
I’m not gonna continue this back-and-forth from someone who states that they’re educated on the topic but it’s making absolutely absurd assumptions and claims.
Bring evidence, or retract your statement.
You aren’t thinking through.
Imagine you get 100 apples every Sunday.
By Wednesday, you still have 70 left, and your next 100 are coming this Sunday.
Then they reset you to 100 today.
That is not 100 extra apples. It is only +30, because you already had 70.
And now the Sunday refill is pushed back.
So “just ration the 100 again” misses the point. You already had 70 to ration, plus another 100 coming Sunday.
You did not gain apples. You lost the refill window which lost you 70 apples.
Whereas, if you had burned through all of your apples by Wednesday, a reset earlier on is helpful.
God you have to be like missing tokens in your brain. If you weren’t going to get reset until 3 more days which means you had 4 days of usage they now pushed you’re reset back by another week. Which not makes you REST LONGER = LESS USAGE. You would have been back to 100% in a few days now you won’t see 100% again until a week from now.
I agree. Growth was supposed to be replaced with profit. It was a mishap.
Despite that that you have any friction with the points that I made about
Profit. You spent the tweets responding to growth which granted you didn’t know it was accidental.
You can’t separate PROFIT from capitalism unless you’re talking about nonprofits.
Unless of course you were talking about something in the school of socialism.
And I’m glad we’re both educated on the topic. Which I would hope you now see how fruitless it would be to argue than capitalism doesn’t seek infinite growth, which would be the expansion of profit making opportunities. Which is the Primary driver of business.
Brother. Take a moment to think about what you’re stating.
This is not a personal feeling is some intrinsic motivation of desire.
Businesses operate for the the profit motive. That is capitalism economics 101.
The goal of business is to make profit.
I don’t know why you’re arguing this point so hard like if you have some profound understanding you don’t. No business owner on the planet is gonna tell you they’re in business to lose money and to not Make Money.
No professor on the planet, it’s gonna tell you the role of capitalism economics is to lose profit to their competitors to make less revenue.
Growth is defined by revenue minus expenses.
If you would like, I would gladly source you much more extensive literature into actual economics where you can read about what profit is.
That is incorrect. What in your statement would make an entity no longer desire profit?
That as you stated is the death of an entity sure. But it not the loss of the pursuit of profit.
Do you see the nuance?
Also revenue =/ profit
Also, make assumptions were baked into your answer, such as shareholders which is not representative of most businesses.
Expenses>ROI also isn’t a definitive answer regardless - many industries, such as the status quo in tech. Burn is expected. ex 2.2T in burn right now in AI, only small handful of SMB have had any chance at profit.
If you would like a question answered, you should answer the question proposed to you. That also didn’t answer the question the word “want” bears a lot of weight in that question.
To your question - I’ve never remotely stated anything of the sort.
I asked when do business stop wanting to make profit. The answer to that is never. Which is in direct contradiction to the gotcha you thought you had by pointing out infinite growth wasn’t in the definition.
Capitalism is defined as endless growth. All businesses seek growth, all industries, all entities. The only exception is “nonprofits”.
@Teknium@NousResearch@StepFun_ai Thanks! I wish there was a more detailed walkthrough. And congratulations happy for you all. Just watched your following shoot up in a few mins. Don’t stop responding on tweets, one of the biggest reasons I support you all.
@Teknium@theo I agree with think it’s bloated. But at the same time I get it. It’s hard to offer a good experience to a wide array of people without it. But I was thinking of making a Hermes lite with access to downloading all the additional comp
