To the extent that we all build models in our minds of how things work and how best to get along, survive and prosper, yes: <Have you noticed that you treat capitalism mush as a Christian missionary treats his religion .. almost > I have noticed that I change my mind regularly as I get updated information and I do it quite easily. I don't have dogma imposed on me. My own thinking processes determine which ideas I accept as near-enough. I don't have mullahs in Mecca or an infallible papal authority to tell me what I must think, or else. Capitalism isn't mush. Capitalism does exist. Same as tribalism does. People and countries which operate on capitalist principles do well, those who don't, don't. I have heard of opium wars. I haven't read the detail about the history of it. The 19th century and earlier were carnage. Same for swathes of the 20th century. <I do not recall anyone knocking on Britain's doorstep and saying let us sell this or else we start blockading and shooting > Didn't the IRA want to sell potatoes or something and they blew up the British government at Brighton and a bunch of children at Omagh and a family of NZ tourists in the Tower of London [and a lot more besides] to make them buy potatoes. Americans gave lots of money to the IRA terrorists and wore little machine gun lapel buttons [until they learned up close and personal on 911 the effects of terrorism [which was good for stopping the stupid Americans supporting terrorists in the IRA]].
