 @a272784d 
but what if one lisp's main advantages is that it has so far proved nearly useless to most capitalists? 
 @91b15004 there does seem to be a correlation between not having wealth and using Lisp. If there were causation, that is if we knew the reason for why Lisp was mostly useless to capitalists, I'd say it would be extremely useful and instructive to replicate that advantage across a wider variety of technologies, especially in things like modern AI, which ironically Lisp was originally one of the niche use cases of the Lisp language.
