In past this was how I thought, and still is to a large degree and think smarter people is the core, but I do see ways in which regulation can create real positive change. Specifically on the issue of say, how companies are allowed to market. People might be smarter if they are less brainwashed.
- hutzlibu 9y agohm, I see it more in a way, that people are not so smart because of regulation. Like, if the state allows this to be sold, it can't be fraud. So they don't bother to check further. And regulation s about brainwashing ... I am not sure how that could really work.
- mcguire 9y agoAs an exercise, list everything you have bought in the last month or so; food, gas, electronics, whatever. Now list all the ways those products could be adulterated, fraudulently modified, or faked. Now list the specialized knowledge and skills you would need to detect the fraud. Now try to get some work done while you are caveat emptoring.
- hutzlibu 9y agowhy should I know everything? There are many other experts, hackers, organizations, newspapers, etc. I can google before making a purchase. Just like it allready is, only with more responsibility for everyone, but therefore hopefully better marketpositions for nice companys.
