Resets might be better, if they were relatively gentle. If they’re the most barbaric version of a reset, then who wants that?

I’m mostly a minarchist. Sometimes you need the benign bacteria in there crowding it all out, so that the flesh-eating variety don’t get a foothold. But we live in a world where the C. difficil is crowing everything out while people whine “but what would we do without bacteria!”.
