[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4991137, member: 63706"] Morpheus and crew were attacking the machines from inside their software. Capitalism would be sustainable apart from corporatism. The pathology of corporatism is the separation from liability for one's actions. We are seeing the fruit of this pathology bearing out with rushed to market, coercively enforced treatments for which neither government officials nor corporations can ever be held liable. When a problem pops up from their products, they look for another profit generating solution, they don't stop pushing it. Capitalism is simply an economic system wherein people invest their money into systems that add value to resources, which describes a large number of economic systems to some degree. Free market capitalism is an economic system wherein anyone is free to participate in investing in the market. Competition and liability within a free market help protect consumers and the economy from bad actors. But, the free market is handicapped when government steps in and carves out protections for some players and not for others. The elimination of liability allows for businesses to thrive that would not be able to otherwise. As they grow, they eliminate competition, further destroying free markets. Insulating oneself, or an entire class of people, from the consequences of their actions, or, specifically, the necessity of such, is a pathological idea sold by sociopathic people who seek to aquire power. To preserve freedom, and maintain a balance of power, the falsehood that people can be free of responsibility for their actions must be recognized and shut down every time it pops up. To that end it is important to understand when someone (particularly those in positions of authority) is trying to alter your behavior, because when they do so, it is almost always for their good, and not yours. Educational psychologists have determined four modes for conditioning behavior. Those are positive and negative punishment, and positive and negative reinforcement. A positive punishment is one that introduces a pain generating stimulus, and a negative punishment is when a pleasure generating stimulus is removed. Positive reinforcement is when a pleasure generating stimulus is introduced, and negative is when a pain generating stimulus is removed. That is about all you need to understand to be able to recognize when you are being manipulated into accepting pathological ideas. [/QUOTE]
