Forgot to add, the discussion on the original tweet that Joey was criticizing is itself really interesting. As always, they are reasonable people. They are saying, "of course this specific case makes sense, but in general, deregulation is not a good thing" (because, it can't be a good thing, if your tribe's identity is defined by being against it)
> There's also not many common sense opportunities for deregulation
> I think humans need tribes, and healthy competition between tribes is good for everyone.
Collaborative competition.
There are players who want to win, and players who want to play an amazing game, and the latter makes for a more deeply enjoyable and sustainable sport.
I was thinking of it more around something like "precision", of narrative? You still have the good guys and the bad guys, but you have better discernment about what is good for you & what is bad.
Ironically, I think humans in the olden times were better at this. Fairytales that weren't true didn't survive contact with reality. Here you can go for a long time "without brakes on your car" because the systems are so big, top down, and lack feedback mechanisms.

Really insightful take! I love how you’re on the hot edge of this cultural evolution.
What would you call this? It’s like epistemological hygiene?
