I get it, is that a thing you want to fix though, or to prevent? Education or regulation or something else, if we take as a given that the market has failed?
I wrote a comment twice (and deleted it as inflammatory, it’s a fact about reality that is largely counterproductive to debate) where I pointed out that Donald Trump is the president of the U.S. and it’s wonderful or terrible depending on your point of view. I don’t want to derail all conversation into irrelevance but what if the “wrong thing” is what people want? What do we even want anyway? Is “exploitation of cognitive errors” just a thing we say when people decide they want things we think are dumb?
The true horror: what if this is the least worst thing people want?
