The guy keeps talking about the marginal utility function of complexity, and avoiding the obvious -
Government, government regulation, and taxes - in that order.
That drives the dang complexity!
So I agree with what he is saying, he is just missing the forest for the trees.
And his metrics are infantile.
IMHO.
I think he does say that about half a dozen times ... government, bureacracy, too much bureacracy, too many levels of beuacracy, high taxation, rich flee.
I agree he goes on some tangents but I thought it was pretty clear the picture he was painting about government overreach causing collapse.
