Reevaluating Deeply Unexamined Assumptions About Capital and Capitalism
The speaker brings up the layer of capital and questions how capital behaves as a good ancestor, emphasizing the importance of understanding the cost of a good ancestor versus a so-so ancestor in various projects. They mention Thomas Piketty's work on capital and the perception that it's easier for people to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. This leads the speaker to emphasize the need for reevaluating deeply unexamined assumptions about capital and capitalism.
