oh and I forgot about Transcendent Man. Great documentary (which does give many different arguments so it's not purely one-sided like BBS thinks all docs do) about the future of technology.

Scotty, everyone knows that economics is literally the most boring subject on the face of the planet.

Yeah, it can be real rough, and I love the stuff too.


I was going to recommend Commanding Heights. Four Parts, 6 Hours Total. The Battle of Ideas within which most of the thoughts and actions here, on this thread, are essentially reflected from the past.


Keynes says it better:

The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas.
