Leverage against mind

This item at Overcoming Bias about detached lever fallacy was an interesting read. I agree that implementing an AI with simple associative principles is a (apple-is-a "fruitless") task. There are other things that do tend to give leverage and I guess if everyone thinks it is impossible then I am safe with whatever Alice does. In order to make money in a world where people do not pay much attention, all you have to do is buy at one price and sell at another. If people actually set up a marketplace where all goods were traded like the NYSE of people, then there would be exactly as much stuff as there was effort and people who leveraged others as tools would have to contribute and that includes those who live by draining taxes from every transaction.
