Disagreement II

Roissy:
Evolution, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that it is in the best interests of genetic propagation for women to be fairly well shielded from the crass machinations of their own lust drives, in a way that men are not.

Aretae:
Evolution in its infinite wisdom has decided that it is in the best interests of genetic propagation for humans to be fairly well shielded from the crass machinations of their own drives.

"Evolution in its infinite wisdom has decided that it is in the best interests of genetic propagation for economists to be fairly well shielded from the crass machinations of their own theories."

I don't exempt ANYONE from that. Not economists, not formalists, not liberals, not conservatives. Not you, and not me, and for sure, not government actors.

My goal is policies where one person's crass machinations don't screw someone else. And I place ALL government activity in that sphere.
