I just said it causes that because it works.

2018-10-06 00:47:30 UTC  

@agag That eventually leads to massive hyperinflation/busts. Which causes massive amounts of suffering and destabilization especially because our currency is no longer properly backed by resources like Gold for example.

I can literally formally prove to you capitalism doesn't work with simple thought experiments with a concept called pareto optimality. In which we can model how someone's trade options are limited given some constraint with emerging and evolving economies.

2018-10-06 00:47:38 UTC  

If any system works, it'll lead to degeneracy.

2018-10-06 00:47:43 UTC  

Ban usury.

@Chilliam Ace @path_default What do you call a lasgun with a flashlight mounted on it?

2018-10-06 00:47:54 UTC  

You'll never have a lasting perfectly working system.

2018-10-06 00:47:58 UTC  

It's not possible.

Twin-linked

2018-10-06 00:48:03 UTC  

Hehehehehe

2018-10-06 00:48:04 UTC  

Ok

2018-10-06 00:48:05 UTC  

@RemoteBeef092 it doesn't work if that's the result

2018-10-06 00:48:08 UTC  

Enough bad jokes

2018-10-06 00:48:08 UTC  

@Fyren 2 flashlights?

2018-10-06 00:48:12 UTC  

It does.

2018-10-06 00:48:18 UTC  

ok kid

go read some actual econ stuff

2018-10-06 00:48:23 UTC  

LOL

2018-10-06 00:48:23 UTC  

But it fails in the end, just like any previously working system.

2018-10-06 00:48:23 UTC  

nice

2018-10-06 00:48:29 UTC  

@Chilliam Ace panic of 1837 still happened despite Jackson making the only currency gold and silver coins

2018-10-06 00:48:35 UTC  

You literally cannot have a system that works and lasts.

2018-10-06 00:48:38 UTC  

@Fyren Lmao

2018-10-06 00:48:39 UTC  

Yes you can

2018-10-06 00:48:44 UTC  

i'm using that joke, sorry, i'll credit you though

2018-10-06 00:48:46 UTC  

the way you make a system last is you focus on the people

2018-10-06 00:48:47 UTC  

real things

2018-10-06 00:48:49 UTC  

No you can't, human morality doesn't allow it.

2018-10-06 00:48:49 UTC  

tangible

2018-10-06 00:48:50 UTC  

not abstractions

2018-10-06 00:48:57 UTC  

human morality is a matter of good breeding

2018-10-06 00:48:58 UTC  

immorality*

2018-10-06 00:48:58 UTC  

@agag I was thinking of the Great Depression. And 2008. And other more modern issues.

2018-10-06 00:49:07 UTC  

good people produce good people on avg, eugenics can breed a better society

2018-10-06 00:49:16 UTC  

Oh, like the forefather's goal wasn't to focus on the people?

2018-10-06 00:49:17 UTC  

we know many degenerate traits are inherited

2018-10-06 00:49:21 UTC  

it wasn't

2018-10-06 00:49:23 UTC  

It never lasts.

2018-10-06 00:49:24 UTC  

they focused on abstractions

2018-10-06 00:49:28 UTC  

which they thought would help
