This is why “knowledge is power”: those who define what is “knowable” and “known” shape the reality of everyone in the model / system.

I reckon it prudent to see the next decade as a journey through a wilderness few of us have experienced.

Tunnel-vision greed and blindness to what is unseen and therefore “unknowable” is self-reinforcing.

Greed is good up to the point that it delivers ruin.

The conclusion that soaring asset prices mean the economy is strong is a hallucination that goes unrecognized because the entire financial system is hallucinating.

If each of these is not a part of any ‘reform,’ than all that is being done is pouring money into a monopolizing cartel, just in a slightly different way.

Borrowing more to maintain spending is hanging on by one’s fingernails, not middle-class security.
