All true. But consider another angle.

2020-04-03 16:56:50 UTC  

Capital' from the perspective of human behaviour, represents the tokenization of incentive and the market is one big mechanism for the propogation of that incentive. Negative feedback, one loses capital. Positive feedback the gain capital.

2020-04-03 16:57:37 UTC  

In order for the system to properly direct the allocation of effort, the feedback MUST be genuine.

True alphas shave their head bald

2020-04-03 16:59:14 UTC  

true alphas have beards

2020-04-03 16:59:28 UTC  

True alphas are clean shaven and presentable

2020-04-03 16:59:42 UTC  

the more closely a supplier understands the perspective of his customers, the more the mechanism works. the advantage of tokenization is that i can incentivize a person regardless of i despise them or think of them as family

2020-04-03 16:59:49 UTC  

Beards are cringy counter culture statements that ironically became mainstream

2020-04-03 16:59:52 UTC  

Same with tattoos

2020-04-03 17:00:03 UTC  

So operating on a gamified/tokenized setup, I would say that in general, invalid incentives are not sustainable ones.

2020-04-03 17:00:15 UTC  

betas can't grow beards

2020-04-03 17:00:27 UTC  

but with capitalism, i don't even need to CARE what a person might need or desire not to incentizies his actions towards something mutually beneficial

2020-04-03 17:00:43 UTC  

that is also true @Hexidecimark

2020-04-03 17:01:42 UTC  

along that thread of reasoning, the more middle men you introduce between supplier and consumer, the more you introduce a situation that the true 'value' to the consumer of an effort is not what the supplier reacts to

2020-04-03 17:02:15 UTC  

This all sounds really gay. Im gonna go play Minecraft

2020-04-03 17:02:23 UTC  

a distributor understand the end customer BUT he isn't the one with the skills to fill a need

2020-04-03 17:02:28 UTC  

Right, you're only considering what the middle men are asking for

2020-04-03 17:02:35 UTC  

@honkhonk $5000 in a week? jesus

2020-04-03 17:02:37 UTC  

the distributor is himself a customer of the supplier upstream

2020-04-03 17:02:49 UTC  

I wanna compare last week of march 2019, Hollywood VS Streaming

2020-04-03 17:02:56 UTC  

to last week of march 2020 hollywood and streaming

2020-04-03 17:03:02 UTC  

I know what it'll look like but I'm curious

2020-04-03 17:03:49 UTC  

the key point to realize is the from the customers perspective, they see the entire supply chain as a single entity. The reality is that their interface has VERY different incentives than each entity along that supply chain

2020-04-03 17:04:05 UTC  
2020-04-03 17:04:55 UTC  

in modern companies, there is a similar interface between those that provide the product AND those in the marketing departments that dictate 'what will sell', supposedly based on what they feel the market wants

2020-04-03 17:05:15 UTC

2020-04-03 17:06:26 UTC

2020-04-03 17:06:38 UTC  

I will say that during my run with Dollar General, corporate dictated every shelf to the nanometer, and on average, their decisions were almost prophetic

2020-04-03 17:07:14 UTC  

shoe is kinda cringe ngl

2020-04-03 17:07:37 UTC  

Companies either had their product move off the shelf at exactly the rate we stocked at or else had to clearly overspend by a huge margin in product placement auctions
