Welcome to the future

Response to a thread on Linkedin:


Unfortunately that still doesn't answer the primary question of why is this crap on Linkedin? This is one of those existential questions we must forever debate and never really come to a satisfactory conclusion. A possible explanation is that too many otherwise intelligent people have nothing useful to do in an economy where wealth is concentrated in the control of very few agents and is essentially "stockpiled." This causes free flow of money to stop and free economic society eventually grinds to a halt. Without a massive government intervention at some point; only an armed revolution, or natural disaster, will bring some balance back to the social system. In the meantime the common people will be subjected to such violence, terror, displacement, death, and the unbelievable horrors of war that they will need an irrational belief in divine providence just to keep from going absolutely stark raving mad. Welcome to the future. It is really going to suck.
