CAPITALISM VS PROGRESSION

[BLOG://CAPITALISM_VS_PROGRESS] :: INITIATING RANT...

> SYSTEM ALERT:
   HUMANITY IS STUCK IN A LOOP — NOT BECAUSE WE LACK THE BRAINS,
   BUT BECAUSE WE'VE PUT PROFIT ABOVE PROGRESS.

> OBSERVATION:
   • SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND QUARTERLY GROWTH, NOT LONG-TERM INNOVATION.
   • RESEARCH BUDGETS GET SLASHED IF ROI ISN’T IMMEDIATE.
   • THE NEXT TESLA, EINSTEIN, OR CURIE IS DROWNING IN PAPERWORK
     WHILE CEOs POLISH THEIR STOCK OPTIONS.

> EFFECTS:
   • SCIENCE IS BEING GATED BY PATENTS & PAYWALLS.
   • MEDICAL AND TECH ADVANCEMENTS MOVE AT A FRACTION OF THEIR
     POTENTIAL SPEED.
   • PROBLEMS LIKE ENERGY, CLIMATE, AND POVERTY GET "MONETIZED"
     INSTEAD OF SOLVED.

> REALITY CHECK:
   CAPITALISM ISN’T EVIL — BUT IT’S SHORT-SIGHTED.
   IT TURNS MOONSHOTS INTO MARKET ANALYSIS.
   IT MAKES BREAKTHROUGHS WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE PROFITABLE.

> CALL TO ACTION:
   WE NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT.
   • FUND SCIENCE FOR HUMANITY, NOT JUST FOR SHARE VALUE.
   • PROTECT INVENTORS BUT SHARE KNOWLEDGE FREELY.
   • STOP LETTING THE NEXT 100 YEARS OF TECH BE DECIDED BY
     THE NEXT 100 DAYS OF STOCK PERFORMANCE.
