|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg 1/ Great. It sounds like we agree on a lot. Let’s agree we shouldn’t attack real expertise or fetishize the simple wisdom of laypeople in expert matters. What I think is happening is that lay people are catching on that they are being priced out of the market for expert loyalty.

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg 2/ I think most lay people believe in experts...and the new words for expert are personal, private, etc. They believe experts are now private doctors. Personal chefs. Private pilots. Private police and fire depts. So there’s awareness, but no loss of confidence in experts.

I'm claiming that if we put the adjective 'private' in front of nouns associated w expertise (physician --&gt; private physician, school --&gt; private school, etc.) you'll find lay people believing it represents real expertise &amp; thus an unfair advantage.

|content=Perhaps you were so busy reacting to the name [[George Borjas|Borjas]] that you missed the point of introducing [[Ronald Coase|Coase]]. Coase allows those many nth order effects to be subsumed in the choices of those impacted both positively &amp; negatively. Hence the ability to have unlimited migration. Re-read it.

|content=Let's not play games. The unpopular transfer from L to K by a forced taking of the rectangle without the securitization of labor's valuable asymmetric rights and workers rights to trade them stands as an issue having nothing to do with your attack on [[George Borjas|Borjas]].

|content=Look again at my paper and you will see something very odd from a mathematician: there are no equations. That came from reviewing this style of argument you are engaging in now. The point isn't this or that effect. It is forced transfers by capital vs voluntary trade with labor.
