Wealth of Nations

More Wingstem

   When a communications officer in the Republican Party's White House calls a fellow communicator "a racist and a retard" it pretty much encapsulates the ruptured relationship between Ideal and Material we usefully explored a few dozen months ago when we joyfully wallowed in the July 1930 meeting between Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore.

  In modern terms that discussion can be framed as a debate between Einstein's Clickbait and Tagore's Clickbait. Back then, before the monetized retardation of the Tech Bros this debate was more respectably framed as a debate between Objective Reality and Human Dependent Reality. 

  Having endured preaching on the subject we all know that even for physicists it's a bit of both, so our question today is thusly : will the mistakes from the Adam Smith's of the 21st Century be more enamored of Objective Reality or of a Human Dependent Reality.
