The entrepreneur is entirely redundant in the process of creating a complex product, just an avatar for sponging off value generated by others. If the designers and engineers got paid the full market value of their contributions to the creative outcome, they would be even more enthusiastic about doing the collaborative job that they are already doing. The entrepreneur only supplies the initial capital, which was itself accumulated though prior exploitation. The same capital could be accumulated simply by saving and pooling funds, but the system based on under-paying for creativity keeps everyone afraid and needy enough to work at a fraction of fair pay. How else could the fallow elite fund itself; how else could governments fund their luxuries, terrorism and skullduggery.
To believe a lie one must be willing to endorse something uncertain as certain, which is already a lie. People can be deceived only insofar as they are willing to collude in the deceiving, profess their own lie of conviction for one another.

‘Mental health’ is an incoherent idea; mental states are not possible to objectively standardise as ‘species typical’. Mental health is, in practice, an ideological commitment of the ruling faction about how others ought to feel, perceive and think, without having to prove that the undesirable feelings, perceptions or thought are irrational (and, in contrast, prove that that the desirable thoughts and beliefs are rational), which is of course irrational.
A hypothetical solution to the Ukraine-Russia ‘conflict’: a Ukrainian unit contacts a Russian unit with the message “hey, how about we stop killing one another and just kill all the bankers, and then all the politicians who sent us here?”
