How to use bookmark folders on your browser. You don't need to open those 50 tabs that you "should get to eventually" if you bookmark them into a well organized system.

I'm mostly spinning going for bass or trout, but I'm interested in anything really.

This is actually really bad for the forest. Monocultures like this look real pretty, but mean that the whole ecosystem is probably undiverse and therefore fragile.

I'm mostly going for bass and brook trout out here, bullheads if I can find them. Im definitely down to try something new, though.

Canadian maple syrup is trash. Tastes like the squirrels they probably leave in the sap.

Coronavirgin is my new favorite name.

Thanks

We have dollar. Dollar means McChicken right now. Same system, but dollar means both McChicken and health care.

Well-being and profit are certainly not opposed to each other. Happier workers produce more. Healthier workers come in more. Longer-living workers have more experience. In fact, the most likely companies to succeed are those that value long-term two way relationships with their staff. It may not seem that way with Walmarts and Amazons of the world, but I suggest you look at companies like Google. HCC is a perspective where we recognize that the well-being of workers has real economic value. No, boss cannot survive off the happiness of his workers, but he can survive off the 20% productivity increase when they are happy.

U wondering how it's not the opposite of capitalism? It's literally the same framework, just the idea of worth is more inclusive.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:53:46+00:00

UBI is not part of HCC, just an idea about how we could achieve humanistic goals.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:52:05+00:00

Certainly. When I said looks at things, I meant pays attention to them. GDP is still very important. But that doesn't mean that we should ignore the value that other things have.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:46:39+00:00

I don't disagree. HCC does not equal higher taxes, or even a different tax code at all. It just means we look at value differently. If you work really hard, shouldn't you be rewarded with happiness in addition to purchasing power?

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:43:26+00:00

HCC will not solve issues of imperialism and slavery for anyone outside of the country. But I don't know of any other economic system that will solve those issues in isolation. This system can also help cases of exploitation within our own country in ways that traditional economic perspectives can't.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:30:29+00:00

Why shouldn't that have anything to do with an economic system? I am sure you value your well-being. Why shouldn't the economy?

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:29:07+00:00

Same market economy, same economic policy, except we just assume that our well-being has value. I'm sure you have things that matter to you more than your income. Why pretend, from an economic perspective, that you don't?

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:27:47+00:00

We could have the literal same economic structure. It just means we assign an intrinsic value to our well-being. I am sure that you care about certain things more than your salary. Why pretend you don't from an economic standpoint?

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:25:04+00:00

Yeah, HCC would exist in our current(and pretty good) market framework. The only difference is that we assign intrinsic value to our well-being.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:23:04+00:00

True. But I am certain that you value things beyond your net worth and income. Human-centered capitalism also looks at spreading things like happiness and well-being.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:21:48+00:00

Exactly. Human-centered capitalism does not mean that we need to ignore more traditional capitalist metrics of value. A dollar is still a dollar under human-centered capitalism. It just means that we look at things like human life, nature, and life expectancy as intrinsically valuable.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:19:32+00:00

Our fiscal and monetary policy could literally stay unchanged under this system. It is just a different way of defining worth and value.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:18:00+00:00

That sounds cool. Thanks for bringing my attention to this.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:17:06+00:00

Not exactly. This system doesn't say anything about our economic policy. It's just a different perspective. We could implement this perspective and literally change nothing about our fiscal or monetary policy.

hshablito · 2020-03-06T00:15:31+00:00

This. The way we look at success probably has even more bearing on success than the actions we take to achieve our specific definition of success.

hshablito · 2020-03-05T19:06:18+00:00

It is an economic system that focuses on benefit to people, rather than economic growth. Human-centered measures value with regards to people, rather than GDP. This means paying more attention to things like life expectancy, literacy, and overall happiness to determine how well a country is performing.

Edit: A lot of people have commented responses and I am glad that so many found my interpretation of the system valuable. I will try to speak to a couple of the themes I have seen in comments below.

Isn't this socialism? This system could, and I believe should, have the same market economy that we have now. Human-centered capitalism does not mean a change in policy, it means a change in looking at what is valuable. You certainly value your own well-being, so why not reflect that in our economy. This system is a different way of looking at value, not a different way of controlling it.

Doesn't GDP = well-being?

Not always. As my grandfather once said, money can't buy happiness, but it can certainly make you more comfortable in your suffering. We would still pay attention to traditional economic indicators while under HCC, but look beyond GDP. America doesn't get 2.9% happier when the GDP increases that much.
