Not this, Not that

The Vedantic Philosophy of Yoga is the most Capitalist world view I have come across. “Neti-Neti” is a form of guided meditation/analysis, where you negate the things you are not. Capitalism empowers the most powerful of these. “You are not your job”. Norway is a great example. The Norway Sovereign Wealth Fund was established in 1990 as the Oil Fund. Gradually it has reinvested the surplus revenues of the petroleum shares elsewhere. Norway slowly ceases to be defined by Oil. Similarly, we can be released from being defined by our work. We can learn. We can change. We can see the unintended consequences of the things we are doing and adjust. We can empower ourselves to redirect our actions. Instead of people being viewed as, and required to be, productive assets, we can be released.
