Quote:
Does anyone seriously think that counterproductive "investments" in diminishing returns will "grow our way out of debt"? Of course not; everyone with a vested interest in the crumbling Status Quo is terrified that their share of the borrowed/printed swag will be cut. So the only alternative is to cling to a delusional state where belief in the impossible replaces a realistic assessment of risk, cost and consequence.[ emphasis added]
The irony is that this strategy of clinging to delusion rather than face the necessity of deep cuts in borrow-and-squander budgets will lead to the involuntary reset of the entire system, depriving every vested interest of their share of the swag. Is delusion a sustainable state? No. Thus we can confidently predict that causality, factuality and karma will eventually sweep aside delusion and all those who cling to it.
Comment:
"Belief in the impossible" is emphasized in the above text because it appears to be something that is endemic in the culture.
People want to believe in something, so they believe in the impossible. A theory to the reason for this is that it replaces religion. The Belief in the Impossible becomes a replacement for the belief in The Almighty.
Funny thing. Those who believe in the impossible probably think they are rational as compared to those who believe in The Almighty. But believing in God releases one to think about earthly things in a more rational way.
