“Anti-science sentiments are part of a pervasive and more troublesome problem in our society: the tacit acceptance and normalization of untruths.
“I implore you, push back. Do so not with hostility but with civility, but also with all the wisdom and strength you can muster.”

Yes if you go to the bottom there are several qualifying statements, such as it that it can’t inform public policy, which suggests that using it to analyze the results of a wealth tax is not helpful.I’m 100% in support of a wealth tax. But there are actual economic reasons for that, and a fantasy world isn’t needed to justify it.
imo this elegant exposition is pernicious: confusing the reader instead of explaining the world around us
