Don't turn this around as "my problem." I don't have a problem. I look at reality and I derive the correct conclusions.
Including the fact that I live in a mixed economy.
I am not the one in conflict with reality.
Logic and talk are not meaningless. There are reasons that there once was an Enlightenment, ultimately culminating in the founding of the only contry originally based on the concept of individual rights---the United States.
And hopefully we can get there again. Greater than the tread of mighty armies, is the idea whose time has come.
Of course, to make the time come, much intellectual groundwork will have to be laid.
> Look around, turns out it's not really perilous at all. It's actually the normal way the world works.
It is perilous. For instance, the US is in a perma-recession. In the long run, this is quite dangerous.
You are explicitly advocating that we ignore reality. That should be enough to make my point and probably everything else I just said is just distracting from it.
