On: Willingham sends Fables into the public domain

[isk517]

Unfortunately, considering this exact sentence shows up in every discussion on forms of government and modes of economy it isn't a easy problem to solve.

[mbork_pl → isk517]

Agreed – I don't claim it's simple. What I mean is roughly this: greed is bad, but it's even worse when combined with dishonesty.

[isk517 → mbork_pl]

Sorry, I never meant to imply you thought the solution was simple, just lamenting the fact that greed + dishonesty (+ stupidity if we're being thorough) is such a universal problem with untold amounts of time and energy dedicated to debatable mitigation but no real solution in sight.

I can tolerate, and even respect an honest cheat. But a lying cheat has a special place in hell.
