Every economic problem comes from financialization.

It's Neo-Mercantilism.

Every problem in the US today can be traced back to financialization; that is, the setting up of tollbooths at every intersection by people who create nothing.

It's not capitalism. It's Neo-Mercantilism.

Concerned about the environment? Think carbon credits or ESG mandates are the solution? The real issue is the Wall Street derivative desks.

This is charging a toll on everything manufactured.

All of politics today is muddling the language of financialization.

@StefanMolyneux Replace the word communism with financialization in all your writing. What do you see?

Here's a morality tale for AI investors...

[François Chollet @fchollet]

The reason it is so important for everyone to keep pretending that AGI is definitely right around the corner is that there is now over $1T of investment riding on this belief (either already expended, or committed)

Current (and recent past) capex cannot be justified by current use cases and technology (currently spending $10-15 to make $1). To ever be in the black you'd need dramatically better tech/applications, and you'd need them fast -- before current datacenters depreciate, which is a 3-5 years timescale

It is easier to change the language than to change the law.

Maybe they’ve always been that way.

Humans are top predator.

Do you really want to change that?

[Michael T @MichaelThomason]

Same as the rest of society. Too many rules that no one wants or understands.
