    Sometimes I muse on the idea that our current era is almost like the movie "the sixth sense", and when the history books are written the context will spell it out more clearly.

    Capitalism died in 2008. The trauma of it was just too much to accept...and so we just kept on going like nothing had changed. Lonely confused ghosts wandering about simulating what used to be our daily lives. Eventually enough of us will move on to the next stage....and then....those times will be VERY interesting.

      It's the hegelian repetition, the owl of Minerva flies at midnight and all that. We will know capitalism has died only in hindsight.
