I personally find the comments here, written by so-called "hackers", truly depressing.

Instead of tinkering about how the system can be made more just, viable, etc., instead of "hacking", the only "idea" that comes to the minds of so-called "innovators" is: how can i become THAT rich ?, where do i have to sign ?.

Sad, depressing, disgusting, predictable.


Sorry to break it to you, it's called "human nature".


Actually calling something "human nature" is lazy, inaccurate and harmful. It's giving up on the issue, it's simplifying psychology, it's encouraging inertia and the status quo. It's saying "Sorry, nothing can be done, it's biology".

This goes for many things, not just the desire to have lots of money.


Since when are banks an industry ?.

Ah ok, they produce debt, that sounds industrious.
