Let's finish up this fairly economics-heavy week in thought with John Maynard Keynes, the economic mind who most shapes our modern day macroeconomic decisions.

Keynes came to bring order to capitalistic chaos. To try and prevent massive roller coaster swings and depressions. The idea that the government could effectively intervene - regulating and monetizing stability to the ship that is the world economy.

Here's the problem. Let's try to do that in nature. We fear droughts, floods, weeds, enemies and more. And rightfully so. Letting nature take course is scary. So, we build a greenhouse. We think we're protecting ourselves.

But the epitome of beauty can not be found in a greenhouse. And the epitome of innovation will not be found within a Keynesian environment. It may be slightly less scary to be a plant living in the greenhouse. But, it's a lot less beautiful than letting environmental chaos create true art.

I had a frightening feeling the other day that we're not learning from other's mistakes. That we not only expect kids to to make the same idiotic choices we made, but think they must in order to learn the consequences for themselves.

That's a ridiculous proposition, and one that will result in the forever stagnation of our society.

Your 10-year old should have more wisdom than you did at 21. It's not crazy. Have you seen the math 10-year olds do nowadays? I can't do it. We're just setting the bar way too low in other aspects of intellectual maturity.
