    To be clear, realizing that capitalism leads to catastrophe and abandoning capitalism is the great filter. (imo)

    These so-called prediction matkets are just another symptom of capitalism gone off the rails.

      Of course, that’s what I mean by “the system”. Capitalism evolved to shield bad people from responsibility. Thousands if not millions of people invested in Space X making Elon a trillionaire and they will never face any consequences for supporting a Nazi and his extremely harmful businesses. They are all hidden and protected by the system. If you want to protest any of it you have to do it in public and get ready for consequences. This imbalance was created on purpose. It’s easier for people to be part of the system than to oppose it.
