I disagree. I think that “everything will look fine until the moment we are all doomed” is quite unlikely. I think we are going to get clear warning shots, and should be prepared to capitalize on those in order to bring political force to bear on the problem. It’s gonna get messy. Dumb, unhelpful legislation seems nearly unavoidable. I’m hopeful that having governments flailing around with a mix of bad and good legislation and enforcement will overall be better than them doing nothing.
