I agree to a certain extent. I'm not a fan of legalese and do think things like TOS should be much simpler. To have rational consumers who think critically we need to remove hurdles for people to think critically. But here's my main issue. Our economy and governments are built on the premise of rational consumers. If that basic assumption isn't in place then let's stop the facade, call it out for what it is and change the system. Let's look into a technocracy or epistocracy. Let's stop pretending that America can function as an unfettered capitalist nation and really it needs elements of socialism to function properly and reduce concentration of power and wealth.
