    Capitalism pretends to be positive sum, but it trains us all to act as if society is a zero sum game.

      Recently a big game developer announced the end of development on a long running game. They announced they’re doing one more major release and that’s it. When people saw what’s coming in the last release there was a lot of excitement because they were delivering a lot of things people had asked for.

      Some said “awesome!”

      Some said “you mean they could have done all this at any time and didn’t?!!”

      It’s like when you share some information with someone and they immediately say “why disnt you tell me!!”

      Some people’s glass will always be half empty no matter what.
