It's true though.

If you insist that capitalism is what causes innovations to happen, you need to prove it.

it's not true, its nonsense.

and i dont need to prove anything, u made the initial claim, i called it silly. the burden of proof is on they who make the claim, not they who laugh at the absurdity of the claim.

but in case u need some reading:

People think capitalism is what makes a country great. Not true. The people are what make a country great, and these very same people came up with the concept of capitalism. In other words, capitalism is not the cause of prosperity. It is a by-product of prosperity.


Not only the people but mostly a combination of the culture and people. Not all cultures are equal, well nothing is equal apparently. But some libturds tend to believe so

I already sort of proved it earlier. Here it is again: capitalism is about how we organize and run our society, whereas technological advances are strictly within the realm of academics. These two things have a tenuous connection at best. I know this will probably not satisfy you, but I tried my best.

Also, you aren't merely laughing at my position, I believe you also have made an argument of your own. Now it's up to you to prove that.

How come the Dali Lama didn't invent the iPhone? He has all the free time in the world.

No, I am not trolling. I really mean that there is little connection. For example, there had been many scientific discoveries and innovations throughout history, however there was no capitalism around back then. But people could still invent stuff. Therefore, capitalism is not required for innovations.

Almost all scientific discoveries and innovations since money was invented have been done so to make money. capitalism is the system designed to make the most money. calling this little connection is spurious.
