Do you disagree with Eddington that the universe is not only stranger than you imagine, but stranger than you can imagine?

"The concept that explains black holes was so radical, in fact, that Einstein, himself, had strong misgivings. He concluded in a 1939 paper in the Annals of Mathematics that the idea was âoenot convincingâ and the phenomena did not exist âoein the real world.â"
Are you saying we're smarter than Einstein, and future evidence won't move us in favor of concepts such as infinite density that are simply emotionally too costly for the consensus to accept at the moment?
If we went back in time to the 1980s would you be saying even a non-singular black hole is just too far outside the Overton Window for most physicists? How do you know the limits you set now, which have moved so far, won't move towards zero size and infinite densities in another few decades?
Why should human life be valued? Wouldn't we all be a lot better off if everyone killed themselves?
So why doesn't Powell know about this? Why stick to an ivory-tower fairy-tale story about interest rates and shelter costs, when it isn't the real world?
What if I'm such a statistical outlier that your statistics about people that don't drive as carefully as me don't apply?
What if I drive slow enough through intersections that I can look both ways first?
If I carefully drive myself do I at least have the feeling I am more in control of my own destiny than in a flying machine operated by some greedy corporation?
How come my Dad got a doctor to prescribe him a suicide pill for his cancer? Is it more common than talked about?
"It just inflates the cost of rent, basic necessitates, and everything else."
Why not print faster than prices rise, thus protecting real purchasing power, making nominal inflation just inconsequential noise?
Why haven't high interest rates brought down housing prices, which was one of Powell's explicit goals?
What is the margin of error, 5%? How do you know you aren't measuring noise?
Why, are you getting an urge to make me drink hemlock? If I ask only questions, can I tell lies?
How come there was no shortage of cloth wipes? Popularity?
What if the best place for me to shelter was out in the hills away from people, but I had to drive to get there?
Were there actual critical shortages during Covid due to lack of willing workers or was it lockdowns that caused temporary supply blips?
Personally, can I say I liked lockdowns because the highways were empty and I don't buy toilet paper so I never experienced shortages?
In short, how fickle and arbitrary are your Covid claims?
