Also - shaming people for wanting to make money or liking money is ridiculous. Even if that’s all they are in it for, who cares if the business does something good and worthwhile that people love. I like making money. Try and shame me bro’.https://twitter.com/cyantist/status/1058381847116242945 …

It seems like a bit split between people who think value is zero sum and those who don’t.
That's exactly right, IMO. If value/wealth/capital can only be transferred, not generated, then aggregating it *is* selfish — and aggregating it for the purpose of more efficiently allocating it toward further growth is just a self-serving lie

OK, maybe it's true that a LOT of people have naive understanding of currency and its value in enabling fluid marketplaces, and this leads to a naive rejection of money-affinity as rivalrous greed. 1/

At the same time, a lot of ppl I've seen with money-affinity ALSO naively rationalize accrual of personal wealth as automagically aligned w/ value creation. 1. Make a lot of money in mostly-rivalrous capitalist order 2. ("miracle" of compound interest occurs) 3. I grew the pie!
