Why is free-market capitalism so closely tied with republican lawmakers that don’t believe in evolution? Slate had a good parable about how changing time cause changing perception. Parable-enthusiasts and parable-aficionado should enjoy this story about what I consider the the heart of darkness of life: you can do everything right and still win or more simply put, life is not fair. Physics is fair. It is completely unbiased against all forms of race, religious belief, and other such factors. We are comprised on a crazy number of physical events. Life is not fair because there are so many of these tiny events that we can’t possibly know about them – much less compute what to do with that information. What does discussion of physics and metaphysics mean for macroeconomics? Almost nothing except that even with a system of cogs and widgets doing exactly what they are meant to do, the outcome is not certain. All I know is that I am a genius because I started that last sentence without knowing a place to land and it came out all profound.
…those who don’t believe in evolution are doomed to repeat it…
