@St_Rev I can't see a difference. I think greed exists because of insecurity and lust for the power to "secure" oneself
@Karmic_Mishap Economics, thus greed, isn't zero-sum. You can be greedy and help the world on balance. Power OTOH is always zero-sum.

@St_Rev You CAN do those things, but it seems nearly impossible in practice. Economics only helps world when practiced conscientiously. -
@Karmic_Mishap Edison was a monster in human skin. Etc. I could give examples all day. -
@St_Rev Sure, we could talk it all day. But my disagreement comes from the fact that others would likely have done same work w/o these -
@Karmic_Mishap Market economies are massively parallel computers for solving allocation problems. Greed directs the optimization algorithm.

@St_Rev What many large economic players seem to be doing is engaging in what is called 'rent-seeking' behavior, which is not helpful at all -
@Karmic_Mishap Yes, rent-seeking is an evil, but it's the product of the confluence of greed and power. -
@St_Rev OK, that makes sense. I'd like to talk more later, but I'm out of here for now. see ya -
@Karmic_Mishap Have a good one! -
@St_Rev thanks, you too!
