RE: IDEA ECONOMY MENTAL MODELS: checking your assumptions

HI @reddust Thanks for commenting (you won the prize check your wallet hehe)

I think you are partly right, there is definitely an imagination problem with finding new uses for this powerful technology.

My take on the way society is that the results are coming from complex interactions. I don't really believe in controllers.
Sure there are powerful people who have their agenda and are ruthless who would like to believe they control the world.

And maybe they can put their finger on the scales once in a while, no doubt they do when they have the chance.

But war, famine, discrimination are consequences of how the system (our society) is interacting. It is impossible to design this system, it is too vast and complex for that.

I agree though that it could be better and we should actively imagine new ways to make it work.

Thank you @the-traveller, Amazon just bought Whole Foods grocery stores and the Bezos beast is now going to bring Walmart down. Walmart drove out our Mom and Pop stores, the corporate monsters eat up everything, turn on their own and eventually swallow their own tail. I'm trying to get out of the way...lolol
