Let's peer through the lens of the "Pretty Pig Problem," which highlights the flaws in comparing the actual implementation of systems we dislike with idealized versions of systems we prefer. The PPP shows that we must compare real-world options rather than theoretical ideals.Some details:• Only three social systems are viable at scale: authoritarianism, capitalism, and democratic socialism• Every system has both an ideal form and a corrupted form that must be considered• The "Pretty Pig Problem" highlights our tendency to unfairly compare real systems to idealized alternatives• People on the left note market problems and conclude state intervention is necessary without examining real state actions• People on the right highlight state problems and assume markets are better without considering actual market performanceAnd....TWEJ!
