    it is unsolvable in the same way that the problem of metabolism is unsolvable

    some people have to eat very little to stay healthy and some people can eat quite a lot and stay healthy. Still, it is better to understand what is really going on and make the best of it that you can than to do otherwise, I think. As many people, for some reason, seem very eager to point out to me, there is usually something that can be done to improve any situation. Everybody, pretty much, is better off living in a rich peaceful society than in the alternative even if someone else is, mostly, in charge. Anyway there isn't any choice.
