Somewhere inside the head of a little kid in the global south is the cure for cancer, the cure for aids, the solution to safe and efficient space travel, but it shall never see the light of day for that kid will never be able to pursue his true interests, not get a proper education, his country will never have a space/medical research program.
I wish I can change this. I see Benevolent Capitalism as the way to change this. Altruism is great but the law of conservation of energy means your reserves will go to zero. I appreciate and applaud it but it worries me. Many good people out there and I am thankful BUT also aware of the realities. Some have larger reserves others smaller reserves, for those of us with smaller reserves the impact of altruism becomes negligible.
