@ESYudkowsky There is no agreed-upon meaning of the word "capitalism", and nowadays you should not trust anyone who uses the *word itself*; they are not trying to help you think clearly. Knowledgeable helpful people will talk about "market prices" or use other words that mean things. (https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1261725491607662594?s=19)
