Never reason from a price change alone! Flocking to McK due to risk aversion may look crazy, but may also be a rational response to elite overproduction and lack of superior rewards for risky, real work.

To be clear, I'm sympathetic towards this metaphysics and it may be close to correct, but it should not be conflated with small-o orthodox Christianity. Its handling of the idea of grace is the clearest point of difference.

In your formulation what we get is precisely what we deserve.
The only place for grace in this scheme is our genetic and civilizational inheritance, which we did not ourselves earn, but which were created and stewarded by aligned ancestors.

Worse, this is the aspirational, winning scenario. Only a select few win those houses.

It's worth noting that Japan actually has more in-wedlock births than the US. All the TFR advantage the US has is out of wedlock births.

The frontier thesis strikes again! Same in academia: James Watson was educated as a scientist at the best schools but his story was more like "lousy college student, read "What is Life?" and got excited, went to Indiana to work on it" than "grinding for his spot at the top."

Certainly credential overproduction has its own downsides for the would-be professionals, but that doesn't mean it's a great time to be a petty business owner.

Professional privileges are becoming more valuable not less. And these will be maintained by taxing the real economy overtly or covertly.
