Financialization creates efficiency, but is in tension with potential greatness.

It's better able to invest in things that are working; but it can get much harder to iterate and experiment and see what's working.

Financialization can make it very hard to get the seedlings to be able to garden in the first place.

Financialization is about hyper legibility, hyper focus on quantitative.

But sometimes you don't need it, because it's more expensive to create legibility than it is to just do the thing.

In the time it would take to document a seedling, you can plant 10 seedlings.

As long as the downside risk of the seedling is capped and small, it's just opportunity cost, and making it fully legible just kills the seedling before it even gets started.
