Great unknown. Why leave your money where it seems dangerous? One can imagine where that will lead unresolved. But the entire world economy seems to me to be an unknown (via Talib). And that seems important to me to understand. I personally feel it is just a manifestation of the intense complexity inundating us even as we seem unaware of it, per se. Not to be pedantic, but we are quickly and unknowingly (it seems) headed toward the human singularity. That is just a fact. I started a new book on Einstein by Walter Isaacson. Lots of new papers released? Anyway, two things struck me. One, he makes the point that before Einstein the average person could get the big ideas like Newton or Copernicus or Darwin. But now with relativity and quantum physics most people don't or can't wrestle with those theories. The other was a question they asked Einstein: "what do you think is the most important subject for schools to concentrate on"? He said history. Boy do I agree.
