> People spend time with people who provide the most value to their lives.

Wow, people are brutal when they are given free will! Looks like this "free will" is a brutal, evil thing.

Yes, that's one of the central moral questions which Christian and other thinkers have wrestled with over the centuries.

Thankfully, now we can blame all those evils on "capitalism" instead.

We blame it for the weather; why not everything else as well?

We're encouraged in capitalism to spend our limited time developing networks and connections with people who can benefit us financially or career wise.

A true capitalistic value system considers it a waste of time to pursue relationships with simply interesting people with mostly non-capitalizable quality's like good sense of humor, compassion, storytelling...etc.

> true capitalistic value system

Only exists for capitalistic entities, like companies. There's no "capitalistic value system" for a human - capitalist society gives you freedom to decide what your value system is on your own.
