Because modern society is founded upon greed, exploitation, violence and conflict.

Finance and economics are pseudoscientific make believe garbage, capitalism is inherently unstable, exploitative and unsustainable with a built in expiration date. All finance assets like money,crypto,debt,bonds etc are purely parasitic in nature and serve no purpose nor have any inherent value and private property is theft. Ever escalating recessions, poverty, disease, pollution, slavery and wars are fundamental and necessary functions of it and every single financier or crypto dudebro is a literal parasite.

There is 0 incentive in this society to be even remotely a decent person. On the contrary it is highly incentivized to be as brutal and disgusting as possible. "Survival of the fittest" after all right? Law of the jungle? An eye of an eye? Why not XD

Here, I found a relevant story regarding effort and it's relation to value
,
A giant ship’s engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one ‘professional’ after another but none of them could figure out how to fix the broken engine.

Then they brought in a man who had been fixing ships since he was young.
He carried a large bag of tools with him and when he arrived immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship’s owners were there watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away and the engine was fixed!!!

A week later, the owners received an invoice from the old man for $10,000.

What?! the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything..!!!”.

So they wrote to the man; “Please send us an itemised invoice.”

The man sent an invoice that read:

Tapping with a hammer………………….. $2.00

Knowing where to tap…………………….. $9,998.00

Effort is important but experience and knowing where to direct that effort makes all the difference.

What's your criticism of the schoolbook example?
A poor farmer produces 1 food unit per year on his land with his hands.
With the right equipment he can produce 100 food units.
The equipment costs the equivalent of 100 food units to make.

If the farmer works for 100 years and never consumes anything he can barely afford the equipment.
If I loan him 100 food units he starts producing 100 units a year so he can easily pay me back quickly with a fee for my trouble.
If lenders don't ask for a fee fewer farmers will have access to lending because money will be put into something productive instead.

Financialization of the economy and the higher ROI of capital versus labor. We've set up structures that privilege "borrowing" (creating out of thin air) money to "invest" in enterprise. Capital will always accrue to itself faster than labor does (Piketty), so by making money cheap to obtain in the first place, it's easier and easier to create a big ball of money with insane economic gravity. Contrary to popular belief, the real value of the economy is only growing slowly, if at all. So, every time currency changes hands, and the more and more of those Big Balls of money are around, the more that currency has the chance of being caught in a Big Money gravity well, rather than going to labor (which will usually simply consume the value in some way). This, of course, makes the balls bigger. The only way out is to trust-bust (stomp on some balls) and possibly redistribute, and the only ways to can-kick are to extend credit to labor (own can of worms), or I lost my train of thought I can't remember what the second reason is.

This is also why swingers get the rope and HODLers and acoomulators (diversified, in not-scames) win in the end.

The most important ones reflect reality like the fact that suddenly we could do things like 100x the output of a piece of land with an upfront investment in machinery. The problem is those fundamental opportunities dry up or move but the economic systems built around them don't adapt quick enough.
Oil is the obvious huge resource that's drying up. When there was lots of oil all you had to do to make money was pump oil. Any money that went into pumping oil outputted multiples of what you put in and grew all economies involved. In the schoolbook farmer example it fuels all the machines and all the machines were made using it.

Efficient technology pays for itself, there's no need to borrow from the future at the rate we do. It's begging for a large share of that borrowing going to ventures that will never make back what was originally put into it.

Because of the system being set up and adapted to always having way more opportunities than it can exploit. New tech was supposed to keep the growth going as you get more output from upgrading.
The issue with relying on tech in a nutshell is you got 100x from the tractor but you only get +10% from the way more expensive and resource intensive cybertractor.
One of the huge opportunities we actually have now is to use some kind of productive tariffs globally to grow sustainable local economies that replace the central chinese factory cities and global supply nonsense. That's not a question of new tech or economic systems but philosophy, reconsidering our premises.

>> No.50105266

>>50104956
>you only get +10% from the way more expensive and resource intensive cybertractor.
So why would you upgrade? To stay competitive with the global market. If you don't you go out of business so you're forced into debt for a tiny increase in output.
What's happening doesn't look like the schoolbook example anymore. The land is starting to own the farmer. He is forced to squeeze every percentage he can out of his land and most of it benefits his lenders instead of him.
Now imagine if he lives on an island with only 1000 people but global markets have still forced him to maximize the exploitation of his land so he produces enough food to feed 10.000 people. What's really the point? Why not relax a bit, use an old tractor, some more local labor and only feed 5000 people? That's still 5x what your island needs.
If he produces less with his land the local market will buy cheaper chinese food instead, putting him out of business, making his island dependent on china and the local land unused.
With tariffs he doesn't have to compete with chinese slave labor. The island economy can get back to being an interdependent working system like in the schoolbooks with a baker, florist and pottery maker. Despite making less extra output for export the output from the farm benefits the people involved instead of foreign parasites.

Every tax has inderect consequences. You tax energy, that reduces electrodomestic industry production, raises prices, and now the poor person has to give up things that were affordable before tax to buy electrodomestics. The problem is that those things given up could be progress tools like education or new equipements. And now you damaged humanity even more by slowing down the poor's progress. One of these poor people could have been the one that had just enough money to go to college and finally discovered a cheaper and environmentally healthier way to produce energy.

So does outsourcing all your production.
The tariffed farm is less efficient in absolute terms but it employs more people, those poor people you mention that could possibly lead to something more.
The farm competing on the global market is more efficient in absolute terms, produces more but is completely dependent on foreign funding. The tiny extra margins from increased efficiency mostly go into the pockets of foreign globalist entities with no incentive to help any people. Their incentives lead to preferably all people being replaced or at least their jobs outsourced to slaves with no rights and hidden from the consumers.
You're the one damaging humanity in the name of greed which you've relabeled efficiency. You tirelessly defend the globalist demons that are eating your soul and frame any perceived threat to your overlords as "damaging humanity". You are all brainwashed subhuman scum.

Have you ever wondered why trading would always be a thing if really a vast majority of them make more losses than profits? If it didn't work for you, it's definitely working for a lot of persons out there. Have you even come across some incentives that they get? I hear KOLnet is giving out up to 4kUSD for trading their token over this weekend. Just for trading!!

Firstly it's not always that way. And secondly because you're a fool to think being "a productive member of society" is rewarding, worth your effort, or profitable. It can be none of those things. You need to accept that you've been brainwashed and programmed to think this type of shit and think for yourself. I get a laugh every time some fag tries to tell me I need to be a productive member of society or serve others. Fucking blow your brains out I don't owe anyone anything.

My current work includes exploiting alxholoics and nicotine addicts. Is that serving society? I don't care anyways is the truth. Pays well though.

I work on the trading floor of an investment bank (real trading, not what incels do in their basements) and we add value to society by providing liquidity to corporates and other financial institutions to hedge their FX risk, or hedge their production/consumption of commodities, or put their clients money into profitable investments to save for retirement. We add a ton of value to society

You're an unironic degenerate.

Anyways people need to work or otherwise society stops functioning. And i don't mean jobs like being a waitress, i mean jobs like electrician, a doctor, an architect ect. Rich people choose to work long hours all the time because work gives meaning and is good for your mental health.

Competition doesn't necessarily drive innovation by itself but it does fine tune products and ideas very efficiently. Innovation is driven by the freedom of the markets. There's a reason you don't see china actually innovating and all they can do is steal American tech

Because of white privilege, letting whites get away with no working while making the blacks do all the work is no longer kosher so to preserve white privilege they let you get by with trading which is only possible with an initial wealth investment you inherited through the legacy of white supremacy.

I think most of the time rich people (the ones who really work) get told and instructed to work their lives away to be rich or whatever and they get to a point where they have gotten to be the doctor or whatever and since that's all they know then that's what gives their life "meaning". A beaten workhorse. And not all doctors are good or worth shit.

Nah, most rich people work because it gives their lives meaning. Retirement spells pretty much degration of body and mind as you literally become worthless to your "tribe", whatever it's modern version is (i'm a doctor myself, seen it first hand). No one of healthy mind and body just wishes to spend something else than their old age just fishing or reading books without providing anything and using (and thus upkeeping) their body and mind. Also it doesn't feel like anything to just be retired while being good at something and doing it feels like "you're on a roll".

you need to be more clear here.
investment banks don't engage in propriatory trading.
the traders don't sit there like these tards and say "hey I think EUR is gonna go up let me take a massive position on that and wait 6 hours".
IBs aren't allowed to do that.
IBs market make. They keep their book flat and trade out once they take a principal position, either by selling to another client after they bought our by hedging out to a centralized market.
FX isn't even centralized order books, it's mostly over the counter pricing.
What happens in an IB is as different to what these tards do as to be something else entirely.
You would have made that distinction if you were a trader. You are perhaps a junior book runner who's biggest order of the day is 6 lattes for the desk or a roastie.

Sounds like cope to me but it's not my call at the end of the day. Not everyone can be a doctor or an engineer though. All I want to do is fuck off and read books and learn and have fun on my own terms. But yet I have to wage for now and everyday people give me stink like I owe them something because I work behind the counter.

because being a trader requires time and dedication to learn and even then you arent guaranteed to be profitable because it also requires a high IQ to find a statistical edge. It is very high risk in capital and time consumption for something that "might turn out profitable."

It is no different than being a professional poker player in that respect. How many normies do you think tried and failed to be a professional poker players during the poker craze of the last 2 decades? In trading just as in poker 99% of them will not be successful/profitable.

i'm sure they do slip them in short term, but you cannot do so like these tards. you can't hodl on the FX desk. Unless you are Nick Leason.

your primary function is to market make and provide liquidity, so it's a poor comparison to what these guys call "trading", and I drew that distinction. IBs FX desks do provide value. Real FX transactions need to be made to facilitate trade. Yes you might slip in some prop stuff but it's not your raison d'etre and if you stopped doing that bit nobody would give much of a shit. If you stopped market making (en masse) international trade would stop.
Tards trading BTC don't, IMHO.

Youre kind of right but at the same time this "system" is not a system, every abstraction that is imposed on the decisions and actions of relatively independent human beings all around the globe are a true wonder. Mankind came up with commodities and trade and then others refined the commodities and traded that. Its acrually insane. Its equally true that there are forces that are trying their best to control this "orderly chaos" and the "system" itself lends itself well to centralising entities. Mankind has an expiration date, because we do not want to merely exist but thrive and perhaps we did do better in many ways before the advent of "modernity" (e.g the last 4000 years or so) but this is what was created and there is constant consent and dissent battling it out. Its more difficult than just 'capitalism'. Exploitation became a necessity for our existance,everything goes through a lifecycle, so will mankind, so will our current suprastructure.
