“Not everyone sees the world in the same way. This is one reason why market economies work better than centrally planned economies. If everyone preferred black mid-sized sedans, you could have one government-owned auto manufacturer churn out millions of copies of a standardized car, and achieve significant economies of scale. But not everyone has the same taste. None of this is particularly controversial. But the rest of this post will be a bit more controversial. I claim that most people underestimate the extent to which other people see the world differently from the way that they see the world.” (06/30/24)
