I absolutely concur with Metcalfe. Frankly, because of all the shenanigans and disingenuity endemic to financialization, largely due to the caliber of people who focus on financial capital rather than social capital, I eschew money to the degree possible. It's not that I am opposed to the technology of money and it's facilitation of commerce. I deeply appreciate it. I feel the same way about medical care.

I also avoid medical care to the degree possible, for the same reasons.

It's unfortunate that no one seems to have found a way to enable social media to properly enhance social capital, rather parasitizing the social capital to stream financial capital to investors with them. I look forward to the maturation of decentralization of means of production, because it vastly outcompetes centralized production financially, and renders overlords - who are utterly dependent on parasitization - obsolete.

I reckon the perversion of financial capital will be dramatically reduced when the parasites dependent on perverting it to fatten their wallets are cured by starving them of returns on their investments in psychological manipulations.

Thanks!
