The primary goal of economic development should be to liberate humans from the struggle of day to day survival so that the better among them can accomplish great works.Anything else is a distraction.
>developmentlet's not bring back usaid
>>543449653Don't be so antisemitic
>>543449653alas the economy is composed of individual actors who care not for such lofty, collectivist aims
Meaning, purpose and ultimately growth come from struggle. You can't remove this and not expect disastrous outcomes. Our wetwear isn't made that way
>>543449788Bot or retarded? Call it.
>>543449653I disagree
>>543449653That's great, we just need to veey carefully define human here.
>>543450199As you said, we are not evolved to live without struggle. So in a world where people are liberated from the meaningless toil of corporate daycare they will create their own struggle, in other words they will pursue great works. I would argue that if people were liberated to pursue their own mission then fields like scientific research would dramatically improve. The field right now is populated by people locked in the day to day toil, they must publish to survive, which is why most scientific papers contain fraud. Imagine all the obsessed autists who would contribute to human advancement if they weren't locked away in some wage cage.
>>543449653Yes, people try to free themselves of the daily toil and some succeed, well observed
>>543450586>in other words they will pursue great works.Most people won't do jack shit...lolOnly a small segment of the population would do what your talking about.
>>543450935deal. worth it. let's do it.
>>543450965go on..
>>543450935I did say in OP that the better among them will pursue great works. Its true in anything ever that almost al progress comes from a tiny number of hands. If most people are just enjoying their lives with their family then that still an improvement over creating a defacto broken home for the sake of mum and dad serving the god of the office manager. Assuming you agree that the objective of the economy is to better the human condition and not simply to force people to suffer by retarding our development.
>>543449653it's the opposite, those on top need to constantly boot down the rest
