    The entire discipline of economics is one group of people explaining why pulling that lever to make the world 1% different will destroy the world while the other group explains that the same lever will fix all of society's ills.

          Ehem, Yachts are consumption goods. Who of us doesn't have a Yacht and another in case the first gets vandalized?

      The entire discipline of economics is trying to justify greed, and also other nerds who don't understand there is a private ideology vs the public one.

      I'd add: the lever is not connected to anything

      When something good happened it's because we pulled the lever when something bad happened its because we didnt
