As a former engineer and technologist, I have a problem with the constant desire to return to version 1.0 ... of anything. Such is the basic flaw in the religious argument for God's perfect plan, or that of the Great Architect.
We are told by the apologists, like De Vere and Saussy, and Badley that there is indeed a better way, just go backwards to implement it. Yet, we are never provided an example where there isn't the most degenerate and retrograde of humanity running the show ... for their own disproportionate benefit. It's a bunch of genetic psychopaths who want to retain their hegemony over everyone else, using a lot of lame justifications about such things as their superiority, evidence of their closeness to their god. Our current President is the epitome of this phenomenon.
Putinistas, Hitleristas, and Trumpistas are attracted to the elimination of chaos and doubt, which is bolstered by the employment of binary thinking. It works great if you're able to be inside the class of 'Won', as opposed to the losing class of 'Zeroes'. But, as I've said before, most of existence is richer than binary possibilities, and optimizing for the most people is frowned upon by those who demand it all for themselves. Or are just sincerely operating under the flawed binary assumption that Ayn Rand's and the Austrians' unchecked economic system can deliver good results for all but a few.
Badley doesn't like the Neoliberal Free Market System because it sooner or later leads to the concentration of wealth (hence it's seemingly paradoxical sponsorship by the 'submerged' monarchists). And so with the flip of his binary switch, as with Hitler, he supports Fascism, which eventually leads one back to ... the same monarchists. All binary roads lead to Rome.
This is why neither Jesus Christ nor Julius Christ would support any non-binary economic mechanisms, because not having any poor always with them harms their power base. They need people having to expend all their energy every day just to feed themselves and keep a roof over their heads. And to be thankful for that. Holy Crap, what would happen if they had idle hands? Andrew Yang suggests that great things would happen, but this is bad right?
