There are no solutions, just tradeoffs.
A great insight from Thomas Sowell here developed brilliantly by Konstantin Kisin in conversation with John Anderson.
It is important to repeat this again and again in an age of magical thinking and populism that tend to attract people by offering “easy” solutions for problems that are too complex.
There are no such solutions for most of our current problems, just tradeoffs. And sometimes the tradeoffs may be worse than the “solutions”.
I add: on some topics (such as healthcare, education) there is no definitive “solution”, they will never be “solved”, the tradeoffs will keep being evaluated forever.
