get the cone hats
the comment world is a very nasty humbling world ...
amazes me how these gods of econ con
science and policy
only hear each other with any jarring intellectual impactwhat we ragged helots
caged down here
in the comment section peanut gallery
say is duck soupwe may growl whine and roar all we want
but introduce a real new missed point .....we are all mixed into each other
and signed off on
"just another
cacophony of lumpy grumpy helot ignorance "yes a few prima donna types
like delong
hear personal criticism...as personal
and re act
others are very nimble
at defending their stance
but with few exceptions
on few occasions
do any of em learn from us groundlingsis that "just as it should be "?????
after all they're the experts
even when they think
they're listening hard
if they capture anything
anything at all
more then our mood and aggregate political direction
its an opportunity to teach us something
"more "we are not a true jury
of professional thoughts
unless we have an academic post
or at least a think tank post
we might remind one of them
of something
but surely we can't "teach" them anything
about their sciencewell
such is the "nature" of hierarchy i guessps
mark is one of the best
though i doubt even he
in his hidden heart
enjoys the thought
we his non peers
can correct him in his "professional" areas
