Musk's attitude about this crisis has been especially disappointing because he came from poverty in SA. He should know better.

Each person has enormous intellectual and innovative potential. So much goes unrealized. A poverty mindset begets poverty. A life of opportunity begets success. "Labor" should be automated to the maximum extent possible so people can focus on unlocking all possible potential.

We must revitalize our capitalism with a purer focus on innovation, education, automation, and—most of all—the potential in each and every person. The idea that someone is only cut out to be "labor" is unforgivably cynical.

Concepts like UBI, universal high-quality healthcare, housing supply reforms, and radical changes in education systems don't require a move away from capitalism—just capitalism done so cynically and incompetently. Our generation has great ideas, and we will build a better future.
