"I like how your life is slowly becoming a Heinlein novel. Minus the plotlessness and social dysfunction." - madbard
. . . . .
"One reason for this situation is that "We the People," who are supposed to monitor our government, are 300 million individuals, each evolved to be able to digest only a tiny fraction of the knowledge necessary to keep such a huge society working. In the free market, when each of us sticks to our own knitting, prices and competition weave our efforts together into a remarkably productive whole that is no part of anyone's intention.
But when We the People try to plan large swathes of society consciously, we succumb to what Hayek called "the fatal conceit." We simply are not mentally equipped to govern society with the same effectiveness, subtlety, and prudence that each of us is evolved to bring to the governance of our own personal affairs. So it's no surprise that governments with vast powers routinely behave stupidly: they are attempting to do the impossible while being overseen by the ill-informed."
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux

Pronoia: "the sneaking feeling one has that others are conspiring behind your back to help you." The simplest definition of Pronoia may be to say that it is the opposite of paranoia. A person suffering from paranoia suspects that persons or entities (e.g. governments) conspire against them. A person enjoying pronoia feels that the world around them conspires to do them good. |
