Capitalism leads to the misallocation of intellectual resources
Talented people, data scientists, software engineers who worked on honing their math and physics skills during their high school days, after studying/project work-ing on deep learning, IoT, etc.. go to work in the advertisement industry where they find more ways to make people buy stuff they don't need/want. Instead fields like healthcare and natural sciences lag back due to the unavailability of financial incentives. Such is the logic of the invisible hand of the free market. Now we just wait until there is some money making in the healthcare industry to make people buy things that they don't need, that these people start working on it.
