Summary

Climate change. Inequality. Exploitation. We have been trying to fix them for 50 years. The machine keeps running. Jamie Arbib, co-founder of RethinkX and co-author of Stellar, makes a case that most people are not ready to hear: these problems are not failures of the system. They are the system. An extractive production model built on scarce external inputs- land, labor, capital- generates competition by definition. And competition at civilizational scale produces exploitation as a feature, not a bug.
