i dig that.

but there are also ppl like tesla, who essentially got screwed by ppl like thomas edison, not because he didn't have better ideas,
but because thomas edison just had the money and clout to drown out
the competition.

that's the shit i don't like.



i also have a problem with the idea that things only have value
if you can make money off of doing it.

some things have a value to society and should not be things that
have a profit incentive.

ppl should not be making money off of things like health care.
our current health system, and our current criminal justice system,
are brilliant in terms of ability to profit off of other people's suffering... but to be honest, the fact that there are better systems
out there that DON'T result in massive profits can't get off the ground is... disturbing, to say the least.


and also, i think that there is a value to society for ppl
to sit around and think of brilliant things.

we need dreamers just as much as we need ppl that cold and calculating. society is worse off when dreamers get strangled
by ppl that have all the money.

society couldn't function if we were all dreamers.


we kinda need both.
