Reply to comment by WinterWindWhip in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

It's essentially saying "Let the market decide", which isn't the worst idea considering the computational power of markets. Just look at LGBT/racial representation in media. That's a decision made by the market. Me too movement also ushered in quite a bit of change with pressure from the market. It's not morality by fiat but by the distributed intelligence of the market.

The market has no humanity but we trust it to establish the worth of humans. It's a giant category error that explains the nonsense we feel all around us. People talk about this being the worst timeline, the lack of humanity is why it is.
