		<description>A brilliant talk in line with the theme of this string by Barry Schwartz at TED;

Judging by the response, the science community is ready for the transformation towards balancing of material and spiritual, and they may even lead it.</description>

		<description>Point made.   That he does and he does.

The problem of selling it is how to make the idea that once we accept unsustainable growth, we may be abandoning the American Dream of excess without regard to class, creed, color or sexual preference.

IOW, when there are limits, not everyone can be obscenely wealthy, and if we are honest about that, it needs to become a virtue.</description>

		<description>@len,

All that may be the case, but it&#039;s important to remember that the salient point about unsustainable (and therefore uneconomic) growth was made by Herman Daly, not Tim O&#039;Reilly, who was simply being credit for bringing the link to my attention.

Even if he is a pirate and a bootlegger, he seems to have good stuff to &#039;share&#039;.</description>

		<description>I note his ability to make fortunes on recoining the ideas of others, but then I&#039;m from the web side of the world where a lot of such petty theft made people rich.   I&#039;ve not much patience for the pundits of Web 2.0.  They made Ponzi schemes popular and then when their own assets were secure, began like bootleggers become licensed brewers to evolve into the biggest supporters of the secret service.

It is easy to change values in the moment, but harder to keep them when being told they make no sense but they still have value.   Again, New Coke.   The role of the artist in both cases, yours and this one, is to put up the mirror and ask the hard questions even if the artist believes they have answered it for themselves.

Thus my question to T-Bone about the role of a bluesman when all looks well.

The counterweight is to rationally understand that the reach into both spaces is limited and that limits benefits.   As with the example of Goldman Sachs, modeling is just an image of things that might be but not really a mirror of what is.  Anywhere you see a straight line appear out of nowhere (hidden coupler), a value increase in the present based on a function that cannot return until later (lookahead), or a curve that turns upward infinitely (recursion), your antennae should light up and fear pheromones should flood the immediate space around you.

Entropy takes no prisoners and uncertainty leaves no witnesses.</description>
