To be fair, how big is the percentage of US population that actually does? edit: I am not even talking real world 'how it really works model'. Just the basic social studies model built on the constitution reading and so on.

I mean, I would say no one understands that system. I mean I pride myself in trying to understand these systems and consume as much information as possible in the time that I have, and I quickly I realize the amount of complexity of the modern world is far beyond what a human could ever consume. With that said, I realize that said systems exist and attempting to handwave their complexity away with a simple "I can do that myself" simply will not work and lead to disastrous consequences.

> To be fair, how big is the percentage of US population that actually does? Beyond the standard American individualism (the baseline), regular people don’t claim that they are such rugged individuals that don’t-need-no-society like “libertarians” do. That’s the discrepancy. If you take away one of the two things that cause the discrepancy you’re just talking about a different subject.

  << That’s the discrepancy. If you take away one of the two things that cause the discrepancy you’re just talking about a different subject. Could you elaborate? I do not think it is a separate subject. It may not be directly connected, but the system, I would argue, setup directly forms the foundations for human behavior and belief-set. Lets look at another example like 'homo sovieticus'. The human in that model had ingrained all sorts of inconsistencies from an outsider point of view. It is possible I am not understanding your argument so bear with me.

To be honest I don’t want to continue the discussion when the readership at large wants to erase our original context (and who knows what else beyond that). You can guess what happened to that comment.
