I thought I recognized your name! I hope I come across that way too but also ask for forgiveness when I fumble lol. I don't ever see disagreement as a bad thing (in fact, often welcome it), but like everyone I have some buttons (I more get upset when people tell me things I'm more well versed in and I don't think we've had any of those issues). I can say that I've enjoyed this conversation, thanks.

I definitely agree with the sentiment around what we can trust corporations to do. I feel that my main issue is that we can't trust governments to do anything. So that at least decreases entropy? The multi-agent part seems to help too, but this is also a simple model. Maybe my views would be different if I had similar lived experiences. I did enjoy that Freakanomics episode.

Mostly my belief is that things are complicated and people tend to oversimplify and that oversimplification leads to obscurification, which leads to substantial power imbalances. Which I a part I differ from many is that this can be done without directed action and that players that benefit don't need to actively collude (aka: no conspiracies required).
