Even worse, the information that is destroyed isn't simply removed from what the economy can convey, its nullity is spliced onto the remaining good information, even significantly recasting the message that information might otherwise have conveyed, misinforming and misleading all who attempt to listen to and act upon it.<br /><br />When govt meddles in the economy, ostensibly to improve it, bad and increasingly worse consequences cannot help but follow.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-91274701867186038622013-08-30T08:12:51.247-07:002013-08-30T08:12:51.247-07:00Maybe Obama could lend you his:

Or rather, the more completely it swings toward Complete Crap, the sooner the pendulum can start swinging back. Logically, the last taboo is actual sex acts and snuffing of humans and animals on stage, perhaps with incest thrown in for good measure. I think that ought to peg the meter, there being nothing more to degrade beyond that.<br /><br />It took Rome a good while to reach Caligula. Given cultural speed today, I'm giving us a few years. Meantime, I keep the kids busy with skills, exercise, etc. They'll outlast assclowns like Miley Cyrus.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987042455512485699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-33429439588483638222013-08-29T09:50:24.313-07:002013-08-29T09:50:24.313-07:00I look forward to Gilder's book.

Don't read newspapers, don't watch much TV (except a few quality shows via online), only stay in touch with family & friends who aren't physical/emotional/spiritual vampires, focus on one thing at a time (even if those things change frequently), and primarily read books suggested by Bob. And then for the rest of my time, I leave for the unexpected high-entropic information that gets thrown at me - which is pretty much unavoidable if you are attentive and aware to it.tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.com
