But it gets into the weeds of whether or not we're operating on a shared understanding of what introspection means.
- having the emotional energy reserves left to act on it
- fully understanding the repercussions of the thing
- feeling like your actions in this case will have any affect
- many other reasons you can't stay consistent from an outsiders perspective
You're trying to apply an objective measure of reality to everyone else: if they disagree with X, they must therefore also disagree with Y, otherwise they shouldn't act on X. It's an unreasonable expectation of perfect action.
It's not a gotcha if you're inconsistent from an outsiders perspective, we're all doing the best we can with what little insight we have into reality.
Also, the more panels we already have, the less reliant we are. Energy doesn't stop flowing because deliveries of new panels stop during a conflict. You just pause expansion. A very different scenario to fuel reserves running dry in weeks.
This is sort of applying the same logic that justifies high frequency trading except in this particular case, the market overlaps with the arts.
Society at large values "fairness" in a hard to define but culturally important way and "let the free market determine the price" for access runs counter to that I think in many peoples minds.
I think it's generally very easy to come up with various solutions that solve the problem, that all likely reduce the profit made by intermediaries like ticketmaster, it's purely political will and people kicking up enough fuss to implement it.
