Your claim that this is "settled science" is simply false. There are very few examples of settled science. Quantum mechanics, relativity, classical field theory, and evolution are settled sciences. Almost anything to do with health, physiology, or genetic is not at all settled. In fact, most tissues and proteins in the human body could not even be analyzed with a high degree of reliability until the development of certain imaging technologies in the 90s and machine learning in the 2000s. We've literally only been examining human tissue composition and protein synthesis in serious manner for <20 years. But don't trust me, lets look at some source in my next post.

You are missing my point and this is a literal logical fallacy. There are several problems with your claim:
(1) You are overlooking issues like the Flint water crisis. Rich people live in Flint, MI and they rely on the same public water sources as everyone else, and yet they haven't done anything to stop it.
(2) By your reasoning oil companies and chemical have no reason to lie about the effects of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants, since they have to live in the same environment than us
(3) You are overlooking the concept of externalities and issues like the free rider problem. Yes rich people might be harmed just as much as the poor, but if they disportionately benefit from maintaining unsafe practices, these practices may nevertheless continue. In fact there are concrete example of these. Construction executive knew for decades that asbestos was bad, and yet they still built their own homes with asbestos, because the millions of dollars they raked in compensated for a slightly higher risk of cancer
(4) You are attacking a straw man. You are acting like I am suggesting that 5G is going to make us crazy or cause severe mutations. It could very well be minor issue, in which case, like I said in (3) the "rich" may not be too concerned.

I used to be a Marxist when I was a teenager in the late 00's. Then I learned game theory and social choice theory, and now I am much more reasonable. John Maynard Smith apparently had a similar experience in his youth/early adulthood.

I support social democracy, with closed borders, and strong protections for free speech. I think the best society is one that has serious respect for personal freedoms, is willing to invest in infrastructure, healthcare, and education, and generally values civic engagement and local community over centralization and globalization. A good balance of libertarianism/personal freedom, progressive social programs, and an emphasis on communal engagement and cultural identity. A balanced combination of libertarianism, socialism, and nationalism.

Why does the rest of the population have to pay because the lives of the already nearly dead are at stake? Shouldn’t ideally, these people have accepted their fates from some time ago now? I have to wear a stupid fucking mask and stay inside because the lives of people about to die are at risk? This makes no sense.
