Action without study is fatal. Study without action is futile.
 ...What happens when the Fed is forced to raise rates to FIVE percent (they’re 1% now)? What happens when it tries to shrink its nine TRILLION dollar balance sheet by $1+ trillion?
You get the idea.  E.

Stupidity is the greatest
destructive force
in the history of humankind.
It can’t be totally defeated.
But there is a lot that we can do
to reduce and control its power.
The more we understand it,
the better we can avoid
or prevent its awful effects.
La stupidità
è la più grande forza distruttiva
nella storia del genere umano.
Non è eliminabile,
ma non è invincibile.
Capirla e conoscerla
è il modo migliore
per ridurne gli effetti.

Oct 20, 2022 An obituary for free markets ...As Ludwig von Mises put it in an essay entitled A Critique of Interventionism written in 1930, “Only the naive inflationists could believe that government could enrich mankind through fiat money. Government cannot create anything; its orders cannot even evict anything from the world of reality, but they can evict from the world of the permissible. Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorer. “...

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. -Albert Einstein
Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved -indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions.
So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one.
Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. The process at work here is not that particular human capacities, for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence, and, more or less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances.
The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The mass of people are so stupid, so gullible, because they want to be misled. There’s no way to make them not want it.
You have to work with the human race as it exists, with all of its flaws. Getting them to see reason is a fool’s errand. -Neal Stephenson in “Fall or, Dodge in Hell”
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -Friedrich Nietzsche

'...When the war ends the Ukraine will have an incredible amount of debt that it will not be able to pay for in generations. It will have no more land to sell off to foreigners and no industry left that will be of any value.
The people who had thought up, designed and implemented the 'western' sanction war against Russia have done more damage to Ukraine and the 'west' that anyone had imagined. But they utterly failed to hurt Russia. They should all be fired for their demonstrated incompetence.' - Moon Of Alabama |

So-called ‘smart phones’ — far more accurately described as ‘dumb phones’ — combine a mobile phone with a watch, with a road map, with a tourist atlas of the world, with a digital camera, with a personal stereo system, with a music collection, with a video recorder, with a diary, with a calculator, with a credit card, with a travelcard, with an office key, with a torch, with a newspaper, with a television, with something to read on the train, and probably a lot more.
I don’t know, because I don’t own one.  ‘But it’s so convenient!’ cry those who stare unbelieving at my twenty-year-old Nokia.
To which I reply: ‘Convenience breeds compliance.’ But to what?...

October 2021:
April 2022:
Below is a piece based on Bonhoeffer's 'Theory of Stupidity.' You may recall that when I quote it here I use 'foolishness' rather than 'stupidity.' In English the two words signify a willful and voluntary impairment of intellect, or a natural lack of intellect respectively. It seems that Bonhoeffer is referring to the former given the context of what he is writing and what was happening.
A foolishness so profoundly stubborn that it damns itself into the abyss. It's odd how history rhymes.
It is reminiscent of what G. K. Chesterton called 'national madness' in What Is Wrong With the World, written in 1910.
Fitting for us, in our time of hysteria, audacious oligarchy, exceptional arrogance, delusional meritocracy, and general willful goofiness. -Jesse
