      If you needed a GPS to locate you in the desert to save your life and a magical genie appears and offers to sell you one for 100K dollars, would you be grateful or angry? In a free market, the opportunity to buy is priced into the good!

      This is the core function of the free market and marketers. They both expand the "Market" by making this magical genie available to more and more people. The more powerful it becomes the more goods it can offer cheaply. IF you can navigate it.

      If something is expensive for you it just means the genie isn't powerful enough (yet!). Think about how cheap computing has become. OR it could mean that you don't know where the cheap & high quality stuff is. Marketers show the way to avoid scammers and counterfeits!

      Businessmen expand one side of the market by building it out, but the nature of its growth means it's illegible at the borderlands and only cheap & convenient at the center. Marketers help navigate the complex borderlands but they have NO influence outside the market.

      They feel "corrupt" when they aren't actively doing their job to make the magic genie better for everyone. (though they often are! it just *feels* evil b/c it's hard to see how their actions are important b/c they're so indirect, e.g. finance)

      But while overall businessmen and marketers DO make life better(?) it's only the role in AGGREGATE that is virtuous. Every specific businessmen/marketer will be 'evil' in a way b/c of competition. Coke guy will never sell you Pepsi.

      If however...the sub-markets were made to compete in a global super-market...then you'd make the market more transparent. If some other soda tastes just as good and is cheaper I now know where it is. Thanks SUPER market!

          But the super-market has to be alpha to make the sub-markets submit. The alpha is the alpha because with anyone else, the system would FALL APART. You can't just say "hey I think B should be the center of gravity instead of A". physics doesn't work like that!

          (In reality there is usually not one center of gravity but a revolving wobbling center like a top. The shifting of power keeps things table b/c TRULY finding the center is impossible just like truly balancing a top w/o spinning it is difficult)

          ----- DANGER ZONE ----- given a bucket of all the races and you had to choose *ONE* race to make all the other races work together, which one would you choose? *obviously* you're choosing based on highest correlation to sophistication of management technique.

          It's just that you KNOW that humans are judgmental so will need some external physical marker like height, gender, skin color etc.. to make heuristics on who makes the best Leader Man. If ur race has horns and glowing red eyes well...i dunno, tough luck? go complain to God...

          Who will you choose so that world has the best heuristic to choose a leader who won't go on genocidal purges or suicide runs? It's just a heuristic. Like tall people are better fighters and should go fight the dragon. again *obviously* you *know* that everyone is equal.

          I think many people would still choose white men. b/c the system that is most fair is the system that only cares about money and doesn't care about race! and white men are correlated with knowhow of free-market systems!(they got England and their neato Ships to thanks for that)

          e.g. one system(your own system) says you DIE by blood eagle b/c your tribe is different and lost in war. the other system says "well at least he can pick the cotton. I sure as hell don't like doing it. too darn hot." Which is more moral???

          Sureee it's easy to judge from the present day morality but look again at the genie/desert choice. expand that 100k to 'your life savings from now into the future till you die.' again. would you be angry or thankful? It's very hard to say "Freeedommm" with a mouth full of sand.

          white men can be so unracist that they even say "hey, if you can mimic our anglo saxon culture, you will not be treated any differently." what a D.E.A.L. In other cultures you're stuck where you are just on WHO YOU WERE BORN TO.

          This one travelling I met this rude lady called Karen who was super passive aggressive and kept asking me "So... do you actually belong here?" Bitch I just bought the property as a foreign investment. I'm here for the keys.

          This other time I met this cat and someone had carved a random gibberish दलित into its forehead. And this other time I met this cat whose brother was turned into roasted skewers! I now really appreciate that people scoop my poop! The Present Moment is all I need.

          Anyway... my new kittens are retarded due to inbreeding for pureblooded traits and I can only teach them one rule so I'm going to think real carefully before deciding on which heuristic to pass on.
