    A distinction without a difference. One is the process, the other its outcome.

    Obesity is a problematic state for an entity to be in, and attempts to reframe it as normal only manifest as harm.

    Where I see potential validity in criticism is the flawed definitions used for medical classification, but that’s an issue for the medical profession to reckon with and address.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.





  • Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas to provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.

    Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.
