You're not even engaging the thesis. You said that patents actually slow capital down. Let's make a wager for the souls of all mankind; we will abolish patents. If you are right capitalism will accelerate. If I am right it will stagnate.

No more movies, maybe less vaccines, but need for war and resource extraction doesn't require patents
