I like the read but I will push back on the context you build the your thought form on- Capitalism is not some stagnant model - it is market and supply. Adam Smith was clear. Value is derived by the needs of the market and supply (real or contrived)
All of the models within capitalism to turn a profit have flaws and values - what humans derive profit from takes so many forms. The better question IMHO - when is profit more like usury than equitable in the model of capitalism.
Does Elon deserve 45b a year in any sane capitalist model where society has a stake?
The real answer lives in Roddenbury - cant remember the source but I will paraphrase what he said best I can.
“When humans realize that earths resources are all of ours, when we caste aside a profit world for a discovery one we will evolve into the light”
Unfortunately humans are all about greed and luxury- “Everyone wants to be Kings and Queens but nobody wants to stay and plow the fields…
So we go on and and on and on til the break of dawn.”
