In a simple world where you did what your parent of the same gender did
for a living, your path was decided. Our paths are still decided partly because
of a coordination problem. We don’t know the complete menu of options, different
people face different obstacles, and our GPS giving the route (skills and
knowledge required) is like the glitchy ones that said, “you have arrived at
your destination” when you are in the middle of the highway. Race, gender, sexual
preference and class are slowly becoming less foundational in deciding what
menu you have. Nationality is a horribly persistent sorting mechanism in a
world of Global Apartheid that prohibits free movement of people (while
treating capital, goods and services more kindly). Part of the advantage of
building an Engine of Capital is that prejudice falls away. Money is fungible.
Meaning it can change form in a laugh-in-the-general-direction of identity
politics way. You can treat it like an Avatar. Send it off to work on your
behalf prejudice-free, with the widest menu possible.
Let your Capital loose
