I don't mean this in a "capitalist bad" way, it's mostly great but there are certain innovations and technologies that don't fit well with a need to get the most return possible on capital invested. There's a "dead space" of techs that would benefit everyone, need capital to get off the ground - but don't allow a lot of value to be captured.

A bit like how we see more VC excitement about "vat grown meat" (a centralised industrial model that exacerbates supply chain dependency and disengagement of people from food but is perfect for capturing value) vs working on "super potatoes" or algae-based systems that could scale down to benefit individuals and would be low-dependency.
