Having only read 5000 words, I don't have an opinion, but add that emoticons don't save people nor persuade me I'm loved. PS: I Am GOD. I spent The Eighth Day relaxing with 'The Killjoys'.
Cheers, man! I know, I know, concision is a virtue! (I am at least trying to restrict my frequency, so it doesn't feel like homework piling up). Trying to take a cue from my own reaction to the long but great pieces by Simplicius - who presents as a definite treat, when I get him every week or two - but three a week of that length gets just plain scary!
Been reading and enjoying your stuff for quite awhile – what you are my friend is an ADULT – the exact ascendant category beyond division which I hope I clearly indicated we all need way more of!
Glad you caught it. Look forward to your next foray!
For any who wonder whether I was trying to make a resentful or score-settling sort of point, here - nope - not at all - on that level, trying to save a bunch of doomed souls at the last minute, is a lot closer to my intentions - and on the more fundamental level, I was attempting to make a very big and important ECONOMIC (rather than a manichaen-moralistic) point - as usual!
Damn though - Matt Stoller really backs me up here so beautifully - he might perhaps yet convince you, even if I have so far failed.
Seriously - check this one out - he perfectly describes one of our most dangerous blind-spots (socially, economically, and even in terms of driving war, instead of human thriving).

Thanks for the plug....though you may want to retract it since I am a "Boomer."
Never! (but you knew that)
