> Most of that wealth is tied up in assets offering services for americans

Yeah. Like renting a house for a mother of 2 children who will never get her own by selling her labour, while the renter uses her money to buy more units.

> I don't think most Americans have a problem with rich people buying nice houses and nice cars, and using their wealth to pay for private staff.

Think again. The demand from rich to park wealth in X, Y, Z makes prices go up. Just imagine that the RAM prices fueled by AI spending is a housing market. More money rich have, less affordable the life for the rest is.

And don't forget that speed of their wealth growth is way faster than anyone who sells their labour.

Ah. And we did not even talk about "hidden" wealth thingy... All these numbers are official ones.

TLDR: Because reality is way more complex than any of its representations.

By sticking to this principle one has to describe every cause-effect, every idea from their speech. Reality is way more complex and detailed than any of it's representations. So rationalist can keep detailing and grounding everything they touch in their speech, and then ground grounds and so on. Sticking to rationalist values you have to write more and ground more.

By cutting corners of explanation and reason rationalist's claims they becoming less rationalist and less acceptable by the group, thus less popular. So the more you're rationalist, more popular you are more you have to write. It's natural way of things.

Irinically the complete rationalism isn't achievable because Gödel's incompleteness teorem.

They, we all have to draw a logical/grounding line somewhere, either by choice either by incapacity.
