I'm listening to Vincent's course on Nick Land at the moment, so this podcast is great. Just it strikes me that capitalism is not quite such a simple process. He's talking about the supply/production side but there is also the consume side. Yes, we have a feedback loop on the produce side - compulsory reinvestment - but markets also move into recession and the consume side can collapse or become skewed towards essentials. This will affect the produce side.
Right now, machines still create goods for humans so everything still, in a sense, revolves around us.
