—“Agency does not exist in a vacuum. Aggregate agency of multiple individuals creates limiting checks and balances, producing a market for cooperative, competitive and pro-social applications of agency.”—Simon Ström
Although I would be careful to note that pro-social is a term from marxism, psychology and sociology that refers to working to benefit others (altruism) when there is no evidence of altruism in nature – only kin selection and option buying. Mutually beneficial Cooperation (which I think is the appropriate term here) is simply in our self interests, and we feel endorphins rewards for engaging in it – in part to encourage it, and in part to counter the natural fears of interaction with ‘others’ whether kin or non.

We Evolved to ‘feel’ What Is Good for Our Survival in The Pack.
Just to throw a little operational science in here – humans are happiest when they succeed at controlling their conditions (responsibility) and when they intuit they ‘fit’, are ‘productive’, and ‘won’t be left behind’ (meaning) becauses it reduces the subconscious effort to status-seek or prevent status loss at the cost of cellular damage to zero. We evolved to ‘feel’ what is good for our survival in the pack. -

Can White History Be Told Without Black Participation?
Obviously, since black participation is relatively meaningless. European civilization’s empiricism begins 4500 years ago. We dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, poverty, superstition, disease, hard labor, and tyranny – kicking and screaming all the while. Both in the early bronze age, the ancient world, and the modern world, with a brief halt to our achievements during the Abrahamic (jewish, christian, muslim) Dark Ages.

What Do You Think About Anarchism?
Anarchism is a nonsense word invented as a trope in the same way the capitalism vs socialism are nonsense words invented as tropes – in order to distract from and avoid the causal problem: whether one is ruled by rule of law versus discretionary rule (not rule of law, but rule by command, rule by oligarchy(legislation), or rule by primitive custom).
One either has rule of law or discretionary rule.
One either has monological law (empirical law) of reciprocity , or one has discretionary ‘judgement’ – not law.The reason the anarchists invented ‘anarchism’ was to preserve poly ethical (immoral) tribal law.
Why? because western europeans practice high trust, and are the highest trust peoples on earth (and always have been). Others cannot compete (or their group evolutionary strategies are parasitic) and
The monarchies allowed ‘hosted peoples’ to retain their common laws (superstitions) when dealing with one another, and enforced the kings law (native european reciprocity) when dealing with others.
If you have rule of law you will end up with markets in everything and a high trust society.
If you have discretionary rule you will end up with corruption in everything and a low trust society.
Marxism Socialism, Libertarianism, and Conservatism are all attempts to change the discourse from science and rule of law, to empty moralizing.
For the simple reason that everyone can think he’s moral and right while rule of law is dismantled systematically – as it has been since the end of the wars.

How Did Xi Jinping’s Daughter Get Into Harvard?
Harvard’s seeks to ‘acquire’ an inventory of future leaders. Any criteria that might produce a future leader is sufficient. That’s the selection process in an nutshell. And that is the reason for their market leadership.
Harvard and Yale were originally THEOLOGICAL institutions producing talent for the clergy that performed society’s managerial functions – and by and large they have retained that position but in secular verse (or at least until the 1960’s when postmodern pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, and outright lying were introduced as the next ‘cult’.)

—“What would happen to the US economy if (scenario 1) the top 5% unleashed all their savings or (scenario 2) put away gradually more into savings?”— I think others have answered this closely but I’ll try to add some precision: *There are no such savings to be unleashed*. It’s already put to use, mostly in home and business real estate – providing home ownership that could not exist otherwise. Why? Fiat currency inflation makes it impossible to save. You have to put your money to work just to try to preserve value. Why fiat currency inflation? Because we try to artificially increase employment by artificially stimulating consumption, by artificially discounting the price of credit, by artificially producing ‘money’ by simply debiting and crediting treasury and bank accounts. The Cathedral (Academy – Media – State complex that replaced the military industrial complex ) quite intentionally misrepresent the fact that owning (controlling) money, is different from having (storing) it. For the (a) voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade, to evolve into (b) patterns (networks) of specialization and trade, and into (c) markets that provide continuous adaptation to demand, shocks, innovation, and continuously reduce prices money(wealth, capital) must be organized into a pareto distribution (20% of the population must control at least 80% of the capital), and within that pareto distribution’s 20% another pareto distribution, and so on. (Really, it has to be so. It’s just math and incentives.) The reason goods get cheaper is that people at the top of any distribution (and at every level under it) seek signals. We can virtue signal (words), we can membership signal (dress), we can status signal (consumption). People at the tops of distributions pay for research and development in signals, that then decrease in cost and increase in ownership. Hence why Gucci bags, and Ferrari’s (neither of which are expensive to produce) are so expensive: to make them scarce, and therefore to preserve their signal value. (Hence why iphones can be so profitable for apple: signal value.) Because really, all we all do is chase status signals like mice, hamsters, rats , and squirrels, in the squirrel cage wheel. The greatest subconscious fear of humans is ‘being left behind’. Hence: status signals.
