via Luke Weinhagen @LukeWeinhagen:
A more complete accounting is emerging. Where the success of a people can not be abstracted to economic success or technological success, but must explicitly describe the well being of the people themselves – which all other metrics were intended to serve not supplant.
It’s outpacing us a bit. This would be a good leverage point for our articulation of the distinction between the elite and the aristocrat.

CD: balance sheet accounting of capital and in particular class and age differences in capital that people can rely upon instead of just income they can.
Private capital is a means of escaping the limits of common capital. That only requires we manage and measure common capital.

–Q: “You should share the artwork you like here. Merry Christmas, Curt”–
Easy. Pieter Bruegel both the elder and younger. Happy chunky peasants, celebrating. Once we get to the invention of photography the painters quite literally ‘get too good’ at representationalism. The victorians were quite good. The romanticists much better. But in some ways they reflect more sophistication than the simplicity of the dutch who were the first bring that wealth to the ordinary people via their innovations in finance and trade. So, while like most people I’ll appreciate the romantic era we all admire most in the reconstruction of our pagan heroes, I’ll take the simple joy of the dutch on Christmas. 😉
And yes, hugs and Merry Christmas. 😉

Rather old difference that isn’t that uncommon in different countries:
In Sweden, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th due to the tradition of the main celebration and gift exchange happening on Christmas Eve, which is deeply rooted in Swedish culture. (Ie: primarily gifts and family)
The United States follows the more widespread Western tradition of celebrating Christmas primarily on December 25th, influenced by a mix of religious and cultural practices over time. (ie: Primarily Church Driven)
