Investing destroys, whether the investors know it or not. The ones who know it use investing as a weapon, like the terrorists creating a "caliphate." The ones who don't know it do the same thing by accident.

That means the venture investing which takes over control of the process, not the penny-ante investing of low-level citizens, though the unwary often lose their life savings that way.

A clue at the starting point is the conservative cause. Using money as a weapon is a large part of the conservative cause, while the conservative cause is where Nazis go to die. Look at the hype of conservatives. Hype is as extreme as the criminality it attempts to rationalize. There is nothing more sacred to conservatives than their use of money to destroy something.

But the problem is almost the same thing for the ones who don't have a clue, because there is no right way to invest. To invest means to take over something with no qualifications and no chance of anyone standing in the way while redirecting purposes to misaligned motives.

Financialization is the wrong motive for all purposes. It's analogous to buying things for their scrap metal. Extraction is antithetical to constructive purposes.

Proper bank lending is the right way to pay for constructivity, because it does not redirect purposes. It allows the borrowers to do the deciding.

But bank lending has almost disappeared for industrial purposes, because predatory investors have taken over those endeavors. That result forced banks to seek other endeavors, which primarily resulted in stock-market gambling, which used to be illegal but is now a fool-proof source of income, since computerization gives the professionals total dominion over fools who need smart pills.

That economic shift was the result of skyrocketing the money supply to the top of society. It needed somewhere to go after getting to the top; so it was used for predatory investing.

Incompetents on both sides of the transactions tend to assume something good comes out of the results, because reducing the process to handling money as a short-cut method of getting to results looks easier than the challenges of constructivity in designing new products and processes. It's the same dynamic as demagoguery. The input of short-cut methods brings out the criminality of methodologies.

Power mongering conspirators promote that result, because it redirects human activity into a black hole of futility that gives them control over the social order. Futility of efforts does that. It gives conspirators control over our lives, which is the only reason why fake science and technology exist. Renewable energy, electric vehicles and self-driving hit a wall of impossibilities long ago, while predatory conspirators forever pretend that the scams are the wave of the future.

Underlying the problem is the bliss of ignorance by power mongers who don't have a clue as to what constructivity is. Engineering, standards and methods are on a different planet than financialization. Making improvements in products and processes gets more demanding as complexities increase. Power mongers assume that caring about such things is for fools, because they can rip everyone off without knowing a thing about complexities of designs.
