NON RATIONAL IDEAS
“If you persist in the illusion that either the enlightenment vision of equality of ability limited only by will, or the postmodern vision of equality limited only by environment, then you are, in fact, non-rational, unscientific. “

A horror story instead. The new normal: Its normal.
A series of windfalls is a series of accidents. And the USA has had many windfalls.
We thought windfalls were a new normal that was the result of our virtues. We built a social, political and economic system that cannot meet its promises.
Now we pay the price for boomer idiocy.

THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO
“A 98-year-old beggar, a grandfather from the Bulgarian village of Dobri Bail, shown here wearing homespun clothes and old leather shoes, is often found standing at the Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky in Sofia. Every day he gets up early and runs 10 kilometers from his village to the capital of Bail. In 2010, during the filming of a documentary about the cathedral, a Bulgarian TV journalist made shocking discovery in the archives of the Church – the most generous private donation that the Cathedral had ever received – was 40,000 euros from an old beggar – the grandfather from Dobri Bali.”

PERSPECTIVE
“Less than 0.25 percent of all the companies listed in the world represent around half the market capitalization, a less than minuscule percentage of novels on the planet accounts for approximately half of fiction sales, less than 0.1 percent of drugs generate a little more than half the pharmaceutical industry’s sales — and less than 0.1 percent of risky events will cause at least half the damages and losses.” – Taleb
Average people and average things don’t really ‘matter’. It’s the radical outliers that make the difference. Because they actually make a difference.
The economy is much scarier and fragile than absurd positivist progressive economists argue.
