#2Been a fan of Scott’s for awhile. Don’t agree about everything but I think this video calls out the most important systemic problems.

#3He is right, but the young can change things. The sad fact is they do not vote, and if they vote at all it is only in presidential. Even in those elections well less then 50% vote.
They are a big voting block, if they all start voting, including in local elections, in about 10 years you will see change. But seems people these days want instant change.
2024 will be a big tell for the young, depending on who wins, things could get far worse for them.
Right now, the corporations determine who runs the US, the young, if that have patience, can change things by voting in all elections.

doesn't this assume they all vote as single block? if their vote is diverse then it won't make much difference

#6I find it interesting to think you can socially engineer a society. It's such a unfathomable complex system that most the time, I imagine we're probably only 'right' by accident. Like one of scott's prescriptions is higher taxes - sure maybe that could be good if paired with wiser government spending but realistically that may just get poured into unproductive subsidies, regulations, or healthcare and military-complexes. So maybe you just tax less and accept this will lead to wealth inequality but maybe a benevolent billionaire class will be more likely to 'fix' society more than our 'elected' representatives can.

You know, your proposals are also engineering society. It’s just a society of the 1800s and before. It sucked. It sucked for the vast majority of people. Life may still suck, but it sucked a lot worse then.
To be completely clear here. When you say, “ accept this will lead to wealth inequality but maybe a benevolent billionaire class will be more likely to 'fix' society more than our 'elected' representatives can.” You’re advocating for authoritarian oligarchy.
Fuck. That. Shit. Fuck that in whatever they find the least desirable.
Edit: Jesus. I really the above comment. It’s not even internally consistent logic. It’s just dumb.

#8The social contract of working hard and being able to own a home or start a family has been broken. This is especially true in Canada, where the government seems to be doing everything in its power to erase the middle class.

> they all start voting, including in local elections, in about 10 years you will see change.
Who would they vote for according to you to see this change in 10 years?
Both parties have been taking turn governing and yet, here we are. A cynic would point out that we've seen empirically that voting doesn't change anything.

That's certainly not a new from of arrogance, people without the WIS to match their INT have been trying to construct utopias for quite a while.
