More interesting ideas from idea land. Power and sovereignty, private enterprise, public control. The mind reels. Day in. Day out. The mind knows that businessmen are doers and makers of growth and progress. The mind knows that states and governments are encompassing behemoths who gobble up all air and do no earthly good. But who has sovereignty where? Who has power where? What is a national boundary? When lumped together in a much larger sample, what happens to the mean? Who runs the ball park? Who owns the ball?
More on the race to the bottom. How fast is fast enough? How slow is not at all? In the long run all is well. In the long run, famously, we are all bye bye. Where do we get to ride out the short run? In the sun? In the desert” Under a rock? To whom do we all bow? And how far? And do we do it prettily, with some mild awareness, with none, or are we happy for the chance to look for more and more odious masters? Or perfumed ones? All in the perception. Of course.
Two links on the state of today. Always the state of today.

How sweet the bottom? A hard charging, heart thumping drive.
