@dedicto @sjshancoxli i think it takes a whole lot of social insurance before any of us are comfortable with a really dynamic prosperity. it’s like how safety is a more basic element of Maslow’s hierarchy than “self-actualization”, growth. once safety is threatened, a bitter rentier stasis seems better than risking any alternative. some of us are more comfortable with risk and dynamism than others. but i think as a social generality this is very broadly true.
