I'm curious what positive externalities you're thinking about? Being able to make plans for the future?

Again, as I said, "aggregating public and private information through market mechanisms".

That's vague enough to be more or less meaningless, where specifically do you see positive externalities outweighing the numerous negative ones?

If that strikes you as vague, I strongly recommend you to read at least an LLM summary of "The Use of Knowledge in Society".

What constraints and how do you enforce them?

Ah yes, vague non-solutions.

They will be uttered in response to criticism and then quietly ignored until the inevitable. Rinse and repeat. A true mark of a grifter.
