I remember, when I was young, I couldn't grasp the idea that economists would be so stupid to treat every citizen as the same, like atoms? Like what? How does that even make sense?

Yeah.

That's one giant contradiction that's worth pointing out to liberal-types. They'll give lip-service to it but then support/enact contradictory policies. It's a worldview based on irreconcilable differences and then just ignoring those differences until things break. Really shows how stupid and/or malicious they are.

and then just ignoring those differences until things break.

and then they make up new theories to explain why it breaks. They will make so many explanations.

I remember the entire roadmap I had in my mind back then, of how to get out of the contradictions. But one day, I asked myself, maybe the simple explanation is the right one, and so many things started being so much easier to explain without requiring tons of reading and mental capacity.
