So it has to be one or the other then? Completely eschew technology and return to subsistence living, or aggressive hypercapitalism that is monetizing every single inch of our public lives and commoditizing our very existence?

You're incapable of imagining any other options?

I can imagine thousands of other options, but game theory tells me which ones are the most likely globally.

Aggressive hypercapitalism is a multipolar problem. It will optimize for itself, it will attack and remove groups that stand up to it, it has the ability to capture large amounts of wealth and power, and it will take a massive and organized group of people and organizations to keep it in check.

So, please tell me how we stop aggressive hypercapitalism, I'd like to know.
