the market seems to have a potentially useful psychological effect on a society. it "rewards" those who can think long term, manage emotional volatility, analyze history, humility to learn from history/others/math, etc... and thus indirectly "punishes" others.
over time this leads to a more "rational" and "optimized" society. this however seems to have 3 main failure modes: 1/ the first is efficiently turning the world into money and everyone dies from climate change isn't that great.

2/ the second is that gaining the initial capital necessary is gatekept by both tribal signaling and luck of birth. (country, IQ, industry, etc...) 3/ the third is that a hyper-rational society is devoid of warmth and softness.

4/ the fourth(i'm just reaching here to flesh out a 2x2) is that it competes w/ meaning making for the same pool of human energy. now to find a pair of axis for these.... no future, no fairness, no warmth, no meaning
