Punishment can wait ... you walked yourself to the gallows
When next morning at eleven o’clock punctually Raskolnikov went into the department of the investigation of criminal causes and sent his name in to Porfiry Petrovitch, he was surprised at being kept waiting so long: it was at least ten minutes before he was summoned. He had expected that they would pounce upon him. But he stood in the waiting-room, and people, who apparently had nothing to do with him, were continually passing to and fro before him. In the next room which looked like an office, several clerks were sitting writing and obviously they had no notion who or what Raskolnikov might be. He looked uneasily and suspiciously about him to see whether there was not some guard, some mysterious watch being kept on him to prevent his escape. But there was nothing of the sort: he saw only the faces of clerks absorbed in petty details, then other people, no one seemed to have any concern with him.
Learn the Words You'll Use First
You’re seventy-nine times more likely to talk about your mother than your niece. Why not learn mother first and niece later? Grammar books and language classes don’t follow this principle, in part because it’s easy to plan lessons around themes like “family” and “fruit.” As a result, you’ll find niece and mother in the exact same place in your grammar book, regardless of their relative utility. In language classes, you’ll learn words for apricots and peaches when your time would be much better spent learning about laptops, medicine, and energy. These are the words of our lives. Why not learn them first?

Knowledge Creation is Allowed Within Capitalism
Economic frameworks are made up, but people need to trust that they can take risks safely to allow for innovation. The important thing is to be able to try and make something without fear of violent reprisal, other systems allowed for this in human history, modern trade is the most extensive. Not necessarily a win for capitalism, but a meh/loss for other systems trying to engage in a post industrial revolution world. Capitalism may die from being short sighted (global warming, wealth inequality), but its a bet that the knowledge will last. We need better policy, not idealism.
