Kilowog-core

Fer most a' the 20th century, increasin' productivity meant increasin' profits. So capitalism encouraged technological advancement.

But here's the thing: Capitalism can never allow productivity to get so high that there is essentially post-scarcity. Because post-scarcity, supply far exceedin' demand, means no profit.

So capitalism must, as a matter a' survival, suppress or corrupt technology through monopolies and law.

In a comic book panel Wonder Girl, a.k.a. Cassie Sandsmark, has a somewhat upset expression on her face. In the background are gears, hexagons, and molecule maps. Wonder Girl says, "So wait. We now have tech able to make basic necessities incredibly cheaply. And with supply that far exceeds demand. But because that would gut profits, capitalists either suppress or corrupt that tech. So we now have a world where technology cannot help us. Because that would be damaging to profits. And we're all just saying that's normal now?" A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

We have now entered a scientific era where humanity cannot further progress without removing capitalism. Capitalism and post-scarcity tech cannot co-exist.
