I'm not religious, but a lot of what Buddhism teaches tends to resonate with me; suffering as a result of desire/attachment, the impermanence of things (including people), the promotion of goodwill and compassion. I can't help but think that modern society is diametrically opposed to those values, though. Is it possible to adhere to a philosophy that essentially teaches you to reject wanting? Craving/wanting is like the main thing the current system is built around.

Agreed, though it's a handicap to strive for ⚖️ in an open market with those who are striving for 📈. Not impossible, and it could even be a competitive advantage if your customers are values aligned, but it's definitely _kinda out there, man_

I certainly hope you’re right but I don’t think it’s possible in general. The best I could think of was to make sure money and power falls in the hands of good people. I initially saw crypto being a tool for seeing this through. There are outlying positive outcomes but not enough. I just keep thinking about Google’s old motto “do no evil”. I still believe they meant it when they said it Buddhist philosophy helps people live with the negative outcomes but not as helpful transforming them I would love to be proven wrong with every fiber of my being
