I don't think economists are lying about it. Krugman atleast keeps posting graphs about the low odds of unemployed men over 35(?) getting back into the workforce. If I remember right, he brings it up to push Infrastructure Spending (2-

False dichotomy. Large Infra projects need huge land parcels. What do you think your options are in China if the govt decides it wants your land? They get away with all kinds of abnormal activity because most of their citizens are still poo

The answer lies in understanding the Utility of the Novelty Seeker to a Group. If groups don't need it, expect novelty seeking to be snuffed out and fast. Don't complain about it just go look for a group that needs you. Not everyo
