k,

I'm a big fan of Feynman. An electrical engineer turned me on to him 20 years ago or so. Such a great mind and so damn funny.

I would not claim to have any true grasp of relativity. I have an understanding, but a layman's understanding at best.

As for politics, I'm in a different school now. I'm in the school that American politics are more or less a fist-fight over 1.5% of the crumbs from a pie some piglets have already eaten. Thus, I don't really engage or relate to either side. At the risk of crossing that line of arrogance, I consider it an enlightened position.

The real politics are to believe in the CFR, the military industrial complex, corporations, and lobbyists. They seem to be really running the show and they do not have my interests, or those of the majority of Americans, at heart.

As I said, I'm open and willing to stand corrected on Krugman. Perhaps he will show a path that no other has offered. I'll be impressed if it does not require printing 60% plus of our GDP.

Other people form their reality out of their education. Krugman is in the latter category.

US education told us the Russians were mean, evil people when we were kids.
Before that, blacks were subhuman and segregated.
Today, Muslims are the new subhumans and both R's and D's see no problem spending billions of dollars destroying their lands and people for oil and other commodities.

koan, do you see any fallacies in your thought process?
