    Do you truly believe "that our species has reached a point of techological maturity"? I bet if you listened loud enough you heard the same thing in 2000, 1990, 1980, 1970, 1960 etc. by the same type of fools making the same type of foolish statements.

    I quote greenspan & his link to ayn rand/objectivism in the following paper,
    which is not so well known, good work to newsweek for bringing it out.
    I agree strongly with yaron brook on the basic point that the federal reserve is
    an illegitimate and harmful quasi-govt agency. but, the mesmerized/hypnotized/narcotized
    public is very effectively/carefully lead away from the smell of the rat, for
    almost an entire century. recent events prove mass market failure is only an opportunity for
    further financial consolodation.

    parasitism"
