A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There being a purpose to capitalism implies that there is some grand plan behind this system. There isn't.

I think you are so terrified by the idea that the world and it's economic system are inherently chaotic that you are coming up with entirely irrational attempts at smart-sounding explanations like this one.

This doesn't mean that there aren't elites exploiting their favorable position in the current system, including in times of crisis that they caused themselves.
