I, like Rognlie, can make the lines say what I want to dissuade change to status quo.

He’s still just one man. There’s no need to listen to him.

I’d rather listen to the majority who are being fleeced by thought ending men like Rognlie. “Oh but don’t think to change things; see look here is other math!”

Humans don’t exist in a vacuum of externalities; Rognlies advice makes it seem so. Fidgeting with the numbers doing nothing real for the people in need is no different than “thoughts and prayers”.

Story mode still rules, as we keep setting aside work of value to people for the story of how some people earned their status. I don’t care what Rognlies credentials are; he’s one of seven billion.

I applied my masters in elastic structures to design power distribution equipment for people. Rognlie sits and pontificates. Screw him.

I'm with you

although the language of that Brookings article is obscure ( possibly deliberately )

it seems like he's nitpicking rather than acknowledging something's deeply wrong.

plus it's strange the way he quotes himself in 3rd person in the article he himself wrote
