Fwiw, I'm all for systems that mitigate bad luck. It's just that... these systems are large, have been in place for a long time, and have immense amounts of inertia. Which is not to say we shouldn't try to change them!

I think we've been agreeing right past one another, then. I'm reminded of the Joe Rogan quote to the effect that "the sooner we can all realize we've been taught how to live life from people operating on the momentum of an ignorant past" (or however it's phrased), the better off we'll all be.
