  • I think you’re right that stock trading has enabled a lot of bad and perhaps shouldn’t have been allowed. At least on a large scale beyond a single town or county. Paper certificates for money may have been a bad idea too. Even the use of a common currency like gold may have been a net negative. I think a barter system has positives over a common currency in that it requires people to work together and form communities.

Technology is like black magic that solves the problem you asked it to but gives you a thousand new issues that end up being worse than the original situation.


  • Genetic engineering every little detail could become dirty cheap, but it will still be terrible for humanity because it will remove diversity, we’d be messing with forces we don’t understand that could lead to diseases or greater population-wide susceptibilities and the government would also like to have its say on how your baby is made so that they will be a good little order follower
