hard problem. people want to make money -> unethical decisions on a mass scale -> people want to build ethical stuff -> get no reward for that. the incentive mechanism is broken in the world. I'm not completely anti-capitalist as it can be used for good, but the incentive mechanism is definitely one of the hardest problems I can think of.



or it is actually right, it's just when VC's are investing they expect huge returns from investments and start to squeeze all of the juice on max levels. So moderate capitalism works, but massive growth and unnatural world scale corporations are always evil?
