"Why Shame is the Key to a Better Life"
Discussion
Shame and ostracism are far more preferable to violence as solutions to anti-social behavior. This is true both on a moral and a practical level.
Oh this was just about getting better as a person. For protection against scams, I have "libertarian paternalism"
In theory sure, but such a system works only when those “nudging” obtained their positions, reputation, and resources through merit, and where those doing the “nudging” would suffer the consequences of being wrong (loss of status, respect, resources, etc.). None of these “policymakers” can make any such claim, nor do they face consequences if they “nudge” incorrectly.
Anything resembling “nudging” by cantillionaires is abhorrent and in no way something I would advocate for. I don’t think it’s really a workable system except long after the adoption of a sound money standard, fiat “nudging” is even worse than the status quo.
