Everybody 
knows that we are going through significant liquidity crisis that affects all of us in one way or another. It is important to realize that this is only a symptom of an even more severe confidence crisis in our government, institutions and “way of life”. I am not a fan of watching senate or congressional hearings, the cheap and idiotic posturing and pontification makes me nauseous, but a several hundred billion dollar discussion makes me pay attention. I can pass a car wreck without slowing down, but a spaceship crash is a different story. I have recently read this comment at the Seeking Alpha blog by axelrod608 and think that it is too good not to share even though it has no direct connection with the theme of this blog.
I was wondering about how long we will vote for people who think that we are morons? The tone of every campaign in the last twenty or so years, was and is incredibly condescending. Apparently a very large percentage of electorate thinks that voting for someone they don’t trust and respect, is a better alternative than voting for someone they trust and respect even less. How about voting for, and not against, specific issues? Not party lines, but conscience? Third party – Green or Libertarian? I think that even voting for “Non of the above” is better that what we keep doing, however the “wisdom” of “devil you know is better.” is the one which provides obstacles to any meaningful change in a way we participate in politics of government, organizations and family.
I just read this post and it is an awesome subject and terrific speech. It has to do with economic impact of time, as a resource, becoming abundant and how it changes the way humanity function. It made me think about another, previously scarce and now abundant resource – data, and an impact this can make on our lives.
