Well I enjoy your memes, but I don't think you do yourself any favors. There's things that are simply and forever beyond anyone's control or understand, its probably the most awe inspiring thing in this world.

The true failure of communism for instance, has never been shitty people, its always been the calculation problem, a centralized entities inability to evaluate a near infinite number of products across the market and assign a value to each, without causing dangerous shortages and surpluses. If your perspective is that we are supposed to be smart and solve for every price or create a machine that can do it for us, you will be forever disappointed and completely miss the beauty of a price coordinated market; every individual receives different price signals and acts in their own rational self interest to satisfy their needs, the economy is the brain where the humans are neurons and the prices are the electrical signals that stimulate us, and the end result is never predictable aside from the ongoing maximization of value across society. Contrast the beauty of this system against an all powerful computer telling everyone how to spend their lives.

I don't think you are a communist, I'm just using it as an example of something beyond anyone's control that is awe inspiring. The belief that we can solve for it seems to cause so many such distress. I hope that I'm on target with what's bugging you.
