I just realized there's a whole generation of people young enough that they weren't reading headlines back when CDOs destroyed the world's economy. I feel old.

- lanstin 3y agoI came of age during the S and L crisis. Been alternating between increasing prosperity, magical technology, idiotic wars kept going by the side that wants might makes right against the side of people that want an ordinary and beautiful life, and scam based economic collapses, against a backdrop steady worsening of global warming and global biodiversity ever since. Most fascinating life, I hope my kids enjoy their time half as much as I have. Not without problems, but the people, the learning, the flowers, the maths and the holding hands, hard to imagine better, if we’d just get out of our own way.
