Never learning to solve for money is one kind of tragedy. Never being able to stop solving for money is a different kind of tragedy. It’s not about when you have enough. It’s about when you’ve had enough.
I’m mostly still a shameless neoliberal shill scheming to make cosmopolitan globalism great again, but one shift in cultural attitudes I vibe with strongly is general exhaustion with solving for money. It was insane for 4 decades.
The same forces that are destroying money are destroying the viability of cosmopolitan globalism. It's not just inequality. People are grasping for identity in the face of cold, tech hegemony.
