“Dogma gave every man importance only in so far as the tribe was important and he was a member of the tribe. If the good had been twice as good and the bad only half as bad, I still ought to have seen it. But I didn't want to see it, because I would have then had to think about the consequences of seeing it, what followed from seeing it, what I must do to be decent.”
Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free
"The wealth of another region excites their greed; and if it is weak, their lust for power as well. Nothing from the rising to the setting of the sun is enough for them. Among all others only they are compelled to attack the poor as well as the rich. Plunder, rape, and slaughter they falsely call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
Tacitus
"If we can save the Banks, we can save the world."
Greta Thunberg
Not one thing has changed.
Except that greed and gullibility are enhancing the conscious mispricing of risk, again.
Roll out the smoke and mirrors, get everyone all excited about nonsense, rewind the narratives and slogans, and let's do it all over again.
All is well in the United States of Amnesia.
Have a pleasant evening.
