💬 Resource Exploitation

Friday, January 20th, the weather is cold but not excessively so, and there's pleasant sunshine.

In a previous video, a woman named Giuliana wrote me a comment, which she later deleted, in which she stated that "business growth is the result of exploiting others." I replied to her by saying not to talk nonsense, and shortly after, she deleted the part "exploiting others" from her comment.

I want to focus on this very word, "exploitation." Business growth is not the result of exploiting others in a negative sense, but rather of increased productivity. This, consequently, implies a greater exploitation of resources, including human ones.

The problem isn't exploitation itself. Many people consider the word "exploit" as something inherently negative, while in reality it's a positive concept. Exploiting resources is what we must do by nature. We were created to exploit resources: natural, human, and technological. Technological resources are those that we invent; natural ones are those that nature puts at our disposal.

We exploit ourselves too. Sometimes work is tiring, and in that sense, we exploit ourselves: our soul, which is the essence of our deepest self, and our body. Our body is a resource that nature offers us to carry out our actions in the world. It's like a tool at our disposal, which we must take care of, keep healthy and functioning.

In one way or another, we all use our body to live and to do what we have to do in life.

The real problem, therefore, is not the exploitation of resources, but their excessive exploitation. Problems begin when resources are exploited too much. This applies to society, when human resources are overexploited. It applies to ourselves, when we exploit our bodies beyond their limits, asking them for more than they can give us. And it applies to natural resources: when we need them too much and exploit them excessively, nature presents us with the bill.

I reiterate: the problem is not exploitation, but excessive exploitation. Let's stop perceiving the word "exploitation" as negative, because it is not; it is a positive concept.

Therefore, dear Mrs. Giuliana, business growth is the result of knowing how to invest capital to increase productivity. Increased productivity implies an increase in the exploitation of resources, whether human, technological or natural. When productivity increases, so does the exploitation of resources.

In any case, we are witnessing people who shoot from the hip, who have it in for entrepreneurs and companies. These are often workers who, feeling increasingly undervalued and in difficulty, take it out on entrepreneurs, accusing them of paying less and less and taking advantage more and more.

But the blame isn't solely on the entrepreneurs; it's a complex problem caused by many things.

To conclude, and without dwelling too long on a topic that doesn't require it: your problem, dear workers, you know what it is? It's that very soon you will no longer be exploitable. No one will be interested in exploiting you anymore. What you consider terrible today – the feeling of being exploited, in the negative sense that Mrs. Giuliana gives it – tomorrow will make you understand what it means to no longer be useful. So, thank your God, or whoever it may be, that you are still exploitable. Because soon, when you're not anymore, I want to see how you'll manage to earn a living.

Everything I say, I say to help people understand that they must stop aiming to be exploitable resources and must start being people who exploit the resources. Otherwise, in a short time, continue to be against entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs, companies, continue to feel exploited, and see what will happen to you. Thank you.
