Yeah, this is the truth right here. Capitalism isn't a system that optimizes human happiness. It optimizes production and profit, which can be correlated to human happiness, but in recent years it has become more and more detached.
Fast forward several millennia and Bezos, et al, look at other humans and think "Look, things I can exploit.". (although we're all probably guilty of this to varying degrees).
So some humans are probably living happy luxurious lives, but the rest of us...
