Modern economies are certainly good at a certain kind of resource allocation, but they're crap at allocating the most valuable resource -- people's potential. To start with, having to earn $$ is such an enormous distraction from everything you *could* be doing. You know it.

To be clear, "efficiently allocating human potential" does not mean "everyones does whatever they want". First, because your own tendencies may stand in the way of self-fulfillment. Second, because self-fulfillment is just one side of the equation. Society is the other side.

The fact that we're terrible at solving this is not an intrinsic flaw of markets as an abstraction. Those are actually great. It's all about our current implementation of them. Which follows a flawed value system.

I would get a double masters in Neuroscience and mathematics. I wish to perform research at the intersection of the two while teaching young students simultaneously. Also, would get myself an acoustic piano.

I had a conversation today with a woman who spent 20 years raising kids and volunteering for her community (EMT, boards, etc). Hugely valuable; all unpaid. Everyone should have the opportunity to spend time doing what they want instead of what they must to survive.

What I’m doing now but worrying less. I’d be able to fund some worthy projects too.
