I never said anything about ignoring the externalities. I also never said that I was ignorant to the results of my actions.

It's just not political for me.

I guess I'm not surprised that this cognitive trap about politics has spread - after all, people care more about deploying any tools they can to "win", rather than being correct.

It's pretty clear your definition of politics is a lot more narrow than what almost everyone else is talking about in this thread.

And I know that you never said anything about ignoring the externalities, that's what I'm saying about you.
