IMHO the premise is wrong. The capitalist isn't trying to gain freedom from capitalism, but from market.

I'd rather say that (for at least some of) the capitalists' the goal is control/dominate the market not escape it.

Anyway, the whole article is full of wrong/weird premises, ie. talking to Alexa = talking to capitalism; mission to Mars = escape from the capitalism, not apotheosis of it etc.

I said escape because at least I personally understand the target to be to free myself from any influence the market has on me.

The goal of capitalism isn't freedom from capitalism, the goal of capitalism is monopoly and monopsony?
