What's scarce Fred is your own wisdom about such matters.
What's in abundance is your single minded obsession with your ideas about
the "beauty" of capitalism, whilst ignoring the real and growing negatives
of such a system devoid of human values and dare I say it Love and respect
for others.
Capitalism is a word. It never invented anything, nothing, and it never
produced anything.
A man invented the TV. Groups of men created the TV networks. Workers, real
men, laid the cable networks.
In all cases, individuals, sometimes in teams together, are who created and
invented these things.
Capitalism has done nothing of value here, except in your own head. and of
course the heads of others just as obsessed.
People were not surprisingly growing food, and inventing things like wheels,
and ships, and communication devices long before anyone conjured up the
capitalistic system, which btw unfolded gradually much like the birth of a
mule, and just as thick and ignorant.
Last point regarding your analogy. Yes, in the world of telecommunications,
one can get one picture of an event and split it into millions and deliver
it to your home at a convenient time of your choosing.
Now, let's hear you explain to the group here how you get a single grain of
rice and deliver that to millions at the same time where everyone gets
enough to eat , and I'll start paying attention.
And call you the Messiah as well.
Maybe you should start your own newgroup or blog, where likeminded folk can
listen to your wisdom. I fail to see what it has to do with philosophy, or
deeper thought and positive values for humanity as a whole, or for an
individual.
Farmers grow food. Carpenters build houses. Tailors make clothes.
What does a "capitalist" do? Nothing!
There is no such person, no such trade, it's just a word for a theory. It
isn't real.
Hope that helps someone.
