Always buried deep in these massive essays these days is this claim

β€” β€œdemocracy can’t work if the people believe the system is rigged”

Of course must just be obviously true right?

This claim always goes complete unchallenged, unquestioned.

Everyone just accepts it as true.

Now suddenly realizing why.

(Though β€œfailed to replicate” is itself BS, should be able to either affirmatively prove claims false or unfalsifiable, at least to some degree. Failure to prove is not proof of failure.)

In any case though, yes,

Never can get super-popular in pop-science with the normies, as Veritasium has, without lying a ton

Why?

The biggest stuff is always the hardest for the normies to believe, because it directly always conflicts with their deepest intuitions.

Normie crowd doesn’t want to hear stuff that badly conflicts with their natural, wrong, intuitions. They’ll never willingly accept it.

Normie crowd only wants to hear what matches their natural intuitions.

Hayek was right.
