My personal thoughts on capitalism is that it is very interesting; on one hand, I think the whole ethos of capitalism is that you increase your upside, but also, you increase the downsides.

For example, under a capitalist system, the winners win higher, the losers lose lower.

For example, I’ve always thought to myself:

Would have been possible for a Jay-Z to have emerged under an egalitarian Swedish system? No. 

Capitalism isn’t fair, nor is nature.

For example, I’ve been really addicted to watching the Michael Saylor series on what is money, and one of the interesting analogies that he talks about is nature. For example the eagles; apparently the way that the eagle hunts is that it finds a baby goat, drags it off a cliff, lets the cliffs do the dirty work, and then once the goat is dead on the bottom of the cliff, then the Eagle swoops in to feast. 

Or apparently there is another very horrific thing you could watch on YouTube of 20 hornets mass occurring a beehive colony of 20,000 bees, find meticulously targeting, clipping off their wings, and killing them one by one.

Or, when you see a pack of lions hunt the deer or the gazelle or whatever, what did they do? The trip the weakest and the slowest one, and feast.

Come on really, I don’t think that people should really complain anymore. You could just get a job at McDonald’s and earn $20 USD an hour! 

Why does this matter?

Apparently the motto in Stoicism is “follow nature!” 

Yet, we oversensitive flaccid humans seem to not like nature.

For example, I think the whole modern eat those is all about egalitarianism, getting rid of hierarchy or whatever. But if you look in the animal kingdom, there is always an Apex predator, and also mammals, there are certainly a key of alpha males, and weaker males.

What is the point of humanity?

The very very simple one is to procreate. It seems that the modern day human being no longer desires to Procreate, and that is fine. Yet let us consider if all 8 billion people on the planet no longer desire to have children or offspring, and they were all happy just Working their jobs, traveling to Japan, eating good food, and dying. This would be a very grim ending for humanity.

What nature teaches us

Cindy Seneca and I recently became members at the California science center, which is very easily accessible via the LA metro line! I read this one placard on the wall that said something like “If you study nature long enough, the number one commonality is that the purpose of nature and species is to procreate and produce offspring!”

 it is very cute. For example if you study the emperor penguins in Antarctica, the way that the fathers nestle the baby penguins in between their feet is super cute! Or, we just watched the IMAX 3-D film at the California science Center of the blue whales, and even in the vast ocean, all these adaptations that the blue whales had in order to Procreate! Apparently the male blue whale can send these deep sonic signals under the water, which can reverberate for hundreds and thousands of miles, in order to find a female mate.

No more baby blue whales?

Watching this IMAX film, the other part of the narrative which creates the emotional art of the film is that because of overfishing or whatever, and maybe lack of nutrition or changing climate patterns or whatever, the mother blue whales are no longer having baby whale children!

Apparently the mother whale feed the baby whale 250 pounds of milk a day!

Honestly after having Seneca, my personal joy and happiness and augmentation of life has gone from zero to one. Life before Seneca was quite pointless and meaningless, empty and fruitless. But life after Seneca is like going from the darkness to the light.
