How to Change the World

Social enterprise? Might makes right. There must be individuals willing to capitalise the effort.

Capital drives politics.

Politics drives policy.

Policy drives business.

Business drives popular culture.

There is a physics to all things.

Hypothetical metric for comparing development

• A: by geographical area
• B: take GDP, normalised per Capita, Real i.e. InflationAdjusted, USD
• C1: take share-of-assets, by population quartile
• C2: take share-of-income, by population quartile

Compare : B*C1 and B*C2

Pleb Business, and its Discontents

Disdain for customers : 

- parents spending on children

- women spending on beauty

- men spending on women

- sick and aged spending to live longer

- poor people trying to make money

- rich people trying to not lose money

These behaviours often pop up as a cohesive list in memes about how to make money. The behaviours are what have been selected for in evolution, which brings us to the present.

To dislike these things, is to dislike the perfect past participation of humanity. Yet one can like these things, without finding them stimulating.

Not everyone is interested in the same things that their ancestors were.
