some rent seeking is useful. I don't want to buy my hotel room on vacation. too much environmental exploitation with out some kind of mitigation and regulation is a problem as well. but at the heart of it all is: 1. statistics and expert opinions should count for more than uneducated opinions 2. but experts(and agents think politicians ) can be corrupted. 3. most people are swayed by narratives and not statistics. 4. but, individual points of view and outliers are important as well because they provide new protectives and directions of inquiry.
