I guess I'm not saying I think you're wrong overall, I'm just saying the effect size is wildly inflated by current sociocultural conditions.
And I would expect American data to be different to the global average, that was my point. I would expect a post-fiat society to be even more different but in the same direction.
I agree in principle with what you say, but I'm honestly disappointed that even in a fantasy scenarion where people are told that they would never suffer any personal want, most cannot even imagine giving more than a tenth to societal initiatives, if even a red sat.
Also considering that we are in a place where "bitcoin will make you all astronomically rich" is the daily message and consensus, I get the impression that people don't believe this.
Though, I'll give people credit for honesty.
I feel that. But I always think respondents have no real clue what they'd actually do, its too far from their lived experience.
And I have to say, educated left-liberals IME are even more hostile to spending their money to benefit other people than rightists. They're only very generous with other people's money, and only for politically-advantageous projects.
Likewise agree, but I'm not hoping to change pinko apparatchicks for the better. The best we can hope from them is that they're properly fleeced by their taxes and that they keep their mouths shut so that they don't make us all dumber.
LOL!
In fairness, the sincere ones criticise the present system for all the same things Bitcoiners and Nostriches criticise. They just haven't imagined a solution that isn't "more of the same, but with better people in charge."
I should know - I was one, when I was a teenager with a teenager's faith in authority.
We're all fools before we age.
And besides, actions >> words.
