And telling yourself that on such a small sample (200years) Captialism is a success is lying to yourself. We're already facing the hard consequences of capitalism and consumerisms, and with no real change in sight all the QOL improvement in the world will not matter when this planet is mostly destroyed.

But who cares, we'll go trash Mars with Elon.

It may only be 200 years, but that's the largest sample we have of a system scaling to support 7+ billion people.
