The best of all possible worlds flows not from the optimization of predatory capitalism (private power), but from the optimization of the people (public power). Society should be designed around getting the most from each and every person through making them as talented, intelligent and fulfilled as possible. You do not optimize a people by giving them dreadful jobs, the purpose of which is to optimize the wealth of the super rich. Society has got everything wrong. All of its priorities are wrong. The way it does everything is wrong. It’s all because the world revolves around the private power of the wealthy. It’s time the world revolved around public power, around the power of the people, fully unleashed. It’s time for Prometheus to be Unbound. The old Torture Gods must be cast down once and for all. Delenda est Carthago!
