Build Capital and Free Labour

For my Batchelor’s Party, my Best Man knew the normal ways of embarrassing me would not work. Instead, he dressed me up as White Jesus with a MAGA hat. Politically and economically, I am of the “The Future and its Enemies” (Virginia Postrel) and “The Righteous Mind” (Jonathan Haidt) school of thought. We are all best placed to make our own decisions and agreements. My main objection to the politics of the last few years is the gunk in our ears. The picking of teams. The lack of acknowledgment that decisions are complicated, and we cannot see into each other’s worlds clearly enough to make decisions for others. We can just do the hard work of breaking down barriers and building agreement. With the available resources and technology, we are in a better position than we have ever been to empower people rather than looking towards putting people in power. We are in a better position than ever to build endurance and resilience, and release each other’s creativity. To build capital and free labour. I am tired of being tired. Let’s build.

Not My Decision
