"It's the old investing mistake" |

Message Replied To ========== It's a good point that you made a couple weeks ago. It's something we can learn from history that there has apparently always been evidence and people convinced that the world is now going to hell in a handbasket. There have always been people shouting doom and gloom. As we have witnessed here, well, ever since there was a here. Yet this ole world keeps spinning. ============================== believing "this time is different." There will always be people believing we are at the dawn of a grand utopia, and many more people believing we are facing the end times. The truth is we're always somewhere between the two. This time is really no different. Things are worse (better) until they're not, and eventually they'll be better (worse) again. Only the time changes. |

-- Starred by: Hobbes MichiGator GatorDJ WAR DAMN EAGLE Wayne chigatorbri -- "I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and then many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask, "Why we are here?" and what that question might mean. I might think about it a bit and then if I can’t figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer, I don’t have to . . . I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possibly. It doesn’t frighten me." -- Richard Feynman, "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out" (1981) |
