Ha ha, well, you make sense. It takes all kinds in this world, and they are pretty much all here. Of course, it also makes sense to take a helicopter to the peak of a mountain instead of climbing it. But then, if you know how to climb, you understand the meat of the matter you might stand to survive if the copter crashes. Have I confused the issue? Sorry, so many damn enigmas, I get confused too.
And of course, if reading views of others can be of help(surely it can), that's all the rationalization anyone needs. Perhaps those less educated in Gilders fields of interest should get educated before reading him, as that would surely be wise indeed. But of course, where educated individuals may not agree with Gilder, those who do may be thought to have been led astray(this of course applies equally as well within the ranks of the un-educated). And where the future is uncertain, and an education brings up more questions and uncertainties than one ever before could have had, why should we trust anyone including ourselves even after an education? Answer: Because it's there. I hope that makes sense to you too.
No matter where you are in life, you are potentially a fool, though thankfully it depends on who you ask, more often than not.
For the record, there is nothing better, if you ask me, than deciding for oneself. Most of us are pretty smart even if we don't recognize it, and with a little d'worsification, we will probably be doing pretty good.
In short, waste of time you say? That's subjective.
