"who will perhaps be known in history as giving the solution to the Fermi paradox. Unable to understand the instability in dynamical systems and the ensuing exponential growth, he promoted deregulation and free market everywhere, followed by bold ignorants like Reagan and Thatcher, leading to the accelerating disaster we already contemplate, which likely will lead this society to extinction. Thus Fermi's paradox is explained if the probability of (Friedman,Reagan,Thatcher)-like minds on an exoplanet is above 10^-9, which with the destruction of global education and promotion of greed and selfishness by advertising leads quickly to an exponential consumption of all resources and to extinction in about 100 years once the population is around 10^9" 68.84.124.229 (talk) 22:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Conflicting, or at a minimum, disjointed statements to resolve[edit]
The end of Friedman's experience teaching at UW-Madison is cast in two different lights, in two sections. In Public Service, the article asserts that he left Madison due to antisemitism. In Academic Career: Early Years, Friedman left as a result of differing opinions on US involvement in World War II. These are incongruent, as far as I can tell.

both influences were at work and two sides of same coin. , antisemitism was silent and pro/anti-war was noisy. they are locked together (antisemites in those days were anti-war, Jews like Friedman were accused of being unamerican warmongers) Rjensen (talk) 13:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
