"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

My style and #usage manuals did not survive my last move; so I am asking here.

When using #German substantives in #English text should I follow English #capitalization rules or German Groß- und Kleinschreibung?

"The #law is the most powerful engine through which ideologies can become self-replicating engines. John Locke’s theory of property as the endowed right of white men to use and to produce worked like witchcraft—the natural world, which had sustained societies for thousands of years, could suddenly be taken by force, enclosed, and tilled for the sole profit of one man, with trespassers punished. The conversion of land into one person’s permanent property was not permissible under the indigenous populations who had long occupied it, nor was such a thing permissible anywhere in the world except Europe—and even there, only after the enclosure movements of the 1600s."

A thread I was in elsewhere made me think of a broader topic I was to write about.

**Move Fast And Break Things Is A Recipe For Slow Progress**

#Capitalists are, ironically, bad at understanding how #capitalization works.

The current process we employ to create and design things turn every single thing we create into a huge liability.

Investors, in the #MFBT mindset, keep trying to make bigger and more powerful #LLMs. The reason the LLMs aren't working well isn't because the #LLM isn't smart enough, it's because YOUR FUCKING #API SUCKS!

It would be hard to overstate that massive cost that the proliferation of shitty #APIs has created.

I've seen one big #company (#BigTech) actually spend time and energy to make good APIs. From that we got #AWS.

They then imagined that it was clever #engineering and product management that made AWS a success, and stopped paying attention to their APIs.

Now AWS is as shitty as every other company.

The problem, at its core, is that #corporate #governance and corporate structures are designed to create a #Kakistocracy.

Investment is likewise a Kakistocracy. With #class signifiers being how you get #money to set up the shitty corporate structure.

Yes, I do in fact know how to make a Ship's #Computer from an LLM that can run on your #SmartPhone. The problem is that no one is ever going to give me the money it would take to do it.

Especially because it requires a lot of unsexy boring #work.

@Shanitoba "Humpty Dumpty had a great Fall."

This is why I believe the names of the seasons should always be capitalized, as we do for the days of the week and months of the year.

Humpty Dumpty thanks you.

"The most important feature of private ownership is not that it enables those who own, but that it disables those who do not. Technically, anyone can get into someone else’s car and drive away, or give an order to sell all of Warren Buffet’s shares in Berkshire Hathaway. The sole purpose of private ownership is to prevent us from doing so. In this sense, private ownership is wholly and only an institution of exclusion, and institutional exclusion is a matter of organized power."

"The inflation rate signals instability in the social order. That instability, it seems, translates into capitalists’ fears about the future. When the price system is more unstable, capitalists discount present income more steeply."

Wallbox, a Spanish unicorn founded in 2015 by Enric Asunción, former Tesla executive, began as a company dedicated to the development of intelligent charging systems for electric and hybrid vehicles, both in domestic and corporate settings. The bet on electric mobility, when very few were doing so, paid off. However, with the passage of

#capitalism feeds on chronic needy states. Taken alone, it can only foster disatisfaction at every level because this is the only way for it to work.

If we want #happiness, #freedom and #health, #capitalization should only be a mean to an end, not a way of life and capitalism shouldn't be consider as a system but as a form of dementia.
