    People argue back and forth whether capitalism or socialism/communism is a superior system and they are all wrong. Those concepts are just tools. Saying one economic system applies to all situations is as silly as saying the only tool you need to build a house is a hammer.

      I think public conversations are made of simplistic ideas. Maybe because they’re stronger. Easier to convey and digest.

      So people may think deep and complex but societies think shallow and simple. Something like that.

      One of the downsides of democracy no doubt.
