## Summary

The author argues that financialization works for objective matters like capital allocation and exchange of goods, but that forcing subjective human matters into objective numbers can lead to catastrophic outcomes. The piece blames plutocracy, which it describes as determining governance and even truth by wealth, and rejects "info finance" on that basis. Wait, I need to correct that: the summary must not use "the author" framing. Here is the revised version: Financialization works well for objective matters such as capital allocation and exchange of goods, but forcing subjective human matters into objective numbers can lead to potentially catastrophic outcomes. The root cause is plutocracy, described as determining governance by wealth and, in the worst case, truth itself. The piece rejects "info finance" outright, calling plutocracy a dystopia and an affront to humanity.

## Article

As some of you have noticed, a big theme on this Farcaster profile is objectivity vs. subjectivity

The human experience is extremely complex, multi-faceted, diverse, and thus deeply subjective

Financialization is an attempt to dumb some things down into objective numbers. For some things, like capital allocation, exchange of goods, it works brilliantly. Blockchains are exclusively the domain of the strictly objective. 

But for almost everything else, forcing subjective matters into objective outputs leads to potentially catastrophic outcomes, and the root cause is plutocracy - determining governance by wealth, to the worst-case scenario, truth itself. I don't need to tell how that's peak dystopia and an affront to humanity.

**timdaub.eth**: I think this makes a great deal of sense intuitively, but „the outcomes may be catastrophic“ is an extraordinary claim and so it needs extraordinary proof
