(FEELING OF AWE: I feel it again. I’m struck by just how CLOSE Hayek came. He started with the mind. He correctly identified information as the model. He correctly identified Law as social science.

He was SO CLOSE. So close that in retrospect we can see he was right as far as he went.

He just couldn’t assemble the pieces DESPITE being so close an associate of Popper and Mises.

And Popper came so CLOSE also. Mises had a piece, but he was too confused by his righteousness.

These people were at the END of the enlightenment, so that they could look at what had failed. But they just couldn’t put it together.

They might have if it had not been for Keynes finding a pseudoscientific excuse for Britain to inflate away her war costs, and for the democratic socialists to fund their scheme.

But the answer was being discovered in mathematics, computer science, and physics. And It seems that no one (at least until I stumbled on it) put it all together.

Thank you Rafe Champion for putting the seed in my head so many years ago. )
