Feeding people, sheltering the homeless, networking, and solidifying

Seems to me that not one of those is “demolishing deathcamps”, so by your argument those are all “just festivities”, no?

The thing you’re arguing here is entirely different to your original comment that the above commenter was arguing against.

I mean the Marshall plan more or less rebuilt the entirety of Europe…

In the last ~10 years humanity has developed:

• electric cars
• mRNA vaccines
• cars that can (more or less drive themselves)
• convincing human language text/speech synthesis
• reusable space rockets
• precise gene editing
• prosthetics that directly connect to the nervous system
• robots that can walk across inconsistent terrain
• commercial quantum computing and quantum cryptography
• cultured meat
• biometrics
• computer vision
• virtual reality
• optical computing
• wireless charging
• stem cell treatments
• neural computer interfaces
• drones
• maglev trains

New technologies tend to have long lulls while being developed, followed by a rapid series of developments when those technologies become viable and in turn provide the base for new technologies.

Yeah, there’s always grifters and technologies that turn out to not be useful, but there’s also always tons of people working really hard to create new advances for the benefit of mankind. Capitalism is definitely flawed (understatement) but relative to say, feudalism, continues to be a very efficient way to allocate resources when used in a well managed economy.
